Just when you thought it was safe to go back on Central Line etc...
etc....

The BBC's report is at

Nowhere does it say that the line will close.

Since when has CJG ever allowed the truth to get in the way of a slagging.

RMT want ALL the trains taken out of service to be checked. So without
trains how exactly are they going to run the central line?
Have illegal immigrants pulling people along in dodgy carts along the
line?

"RMT want" is not the same as "will happen". LU say that half the fleet has
been checked already.

And Carlton London News said that a dozen cracks had been found in
that half alone. The picture on the BBC news shows new strengthening
brackets which are supposed to cure the problem that caused the
Chancery Lane crash. These are labeled defective!!

Anyone want to lay odds on the 1992 stock following the 1983 stock into
early oblivion due to uncurable reliability issues? I personally wouldn't
be surprised if LU doesn't get shot of them in 10-15 years if this sort
of thing continues.

Ah, the RMT have found a way to inconvenience the travelling public
without going on strike...
