Of course it does. It'll be worse when there are no tubes running because
the drivers think it's unsafe/want to strike for the hell of it
(statistics show about a 1 in 2,000,000 chance of being injured)

Next time tube driver wanna strike because they demand a pay increase
why not find some other way of protesting against your EMPLOYER and not
your customer!

Indeed. When was the last tube strike? 600,000 people on the victoria line
every day, thats like 7,000 buses. At least I can WAGN to Liverpool
street, although that's going to be bad too. Might have to invest in that
moped anyway.
Sack em all, let a commuter drive the train. 3 minute course in how to
press the "go" "stop" "open" "close" and "muffled announcement" button and
you're sorted

Why not do a job swap? Commuters drive trains. Tube drivers do ... whatever
jobs it is you do.
