So how do we find out about this, bugger all on the TfL site. That Ken
really is a smart cookie. Called for Metronet to go bankrupt, got what

do.
I'd say that they got exactly what they deserved, or what Ken wished
upon them.

You never know before the day.
However I doubt that any service will operate on Metronet lines. If
the trains can be prepped for service there will be no-one (apart from
Managers, and thats i they turn up) to get trains into and out of
depots, (except Neasden as that is LUL). If a Signal Failure or
Defective Train occurs what then?

Also, it does has the capability to affect all lines, if there is no-
one in the Fault Report Centre, or they become over-whelmed

Dont expect TfL (Kens 2nd Press Office) to say anything useless,
except blame everything other than Ken


BBC are reporting strike may be called off...

"A joint statement from the unions on Thursday said they "welcomed the
commitment he (Ken Livingstone) gave to seek to secure the guarantees on
jobs, forced transfers and pensions that they are seeking from failed Tube
privateer Metronet".

However, they said they wanted the same guarantees from Metronet and the
administrator before calling the strikes off.

Mr Livingstone said: "TfL has been given assurances by the administrator
which meet all of the trade unions' concerns."

So basically they are threatening a strike becasuse they dont believe Ken
Livingstone?
