Quite good considering there's a strike, but it's less than 20% of the
normal peak service.

Who's driving them?

Anyway, roll on fully automated trains!

Ken and his minions?

Hmmmmmm. Even the DLR would probably be in trouble if the
conductors/Train Managers/whatever they're called went on strike.

aslef drivers.

As usual the media are reporting "thousands of train drivers, signal and
engineering staff are on strike" Maybe they should report the facts. Its
mainly the station, signal and engineering staff" RMT members only make up
less than a 3rd of train ops. You'll find that the amount of staffed
stations is what's limiting the service in such a way. If they could found
more of the managers, and other staff to open the stations you would find
they would be a higher percentage of trains running. Not a full service but
a better one. Instead you'll find alot of drivers sitting around willing to
work.
