Default Later running tube plan suspended

I still question whether the leisure of the majority should override
the crucial needs of the minority. Seems a bit like populism. TfL
has a very different attitude to disabled access etc, where it has to
take a clear stand on providing for minorities. They wouldn't dare do
a consultation asking whether most people would favour more frequent
buses if that meant that most weren't accessible etc.


I never understand why it is always assumed that low paid people don't
also need to travel home late at the weekend - bar staff, restaurant
staff, thatre/cinema staff etc. I don't think it's as simple as
leisure usage (Sat Night) vs worker usage (Sun Morning), which it is
often portrayed as being.
