If passengers also decided to take some kind of demonstration like not using
the system for a day KEN LIVINGSTONE would only tax those people forcing
them back onto the trains.

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!

I like the idea of the station staff just throwing the gates open for
a day - running the service, but refusing to collect fares. Or there's
a Dutch strike, where all the passengers stay at home for a day.

Civil disobedience can be creative!

The TSSA union did that a few months ago in Ireland. The problem with that
is that there are differnt unions and some are not in the union. Everyone
would have to talk about it, and if 1 person disagreed then it could not go
ahead because they might refuse to open the Gates.

I like the idea of opening the gates. Doing so will get the customer
support - clever!

Until they get crushed at Victoria.

The gates at Victoria (Victoria Line) are used to regulate the flow of
passengers onto the platform.
