They try and justify their massive salaries with talk of seeing suicides and unsocial hours. here is some news for you - YOU DON'T LIKE THE HOURS, DON'T TAKE THE JOB!!!! you know the hours before you even apply!!!!
Plus, there are loads of drivers who have never seen a suicide. and quite frankly, so what if they have. Its another well known fact that people jump in front of tubes. You don't want to see it, don't become a tube driver.
Hateful moaning overpaid wasters.

they should leave the doors open and let us drive ourselves to work. the DLR doesn;t have drivers. no need for the tube to have them either. replace the drivers with two security guards per train.

Personally, if they all resign, I would put up with no tube whilst they train new drivers.0 -

!!!!!! is all that about?0 -
i am very glad they are getting rid of the 800 - still shows the country is up the creek. if they are not needed, get rid and lower the fares. i would like to see drivers get a massive pay cut as well. easy job, massive salary. I see they have stopped upgrades on 3 lines as well. yet still the fares go up and up and up. what a joke.
the whole system should be automated. Just have security guards.
I am just surprised the cuts came this side of the election.0 -

there has been a blatant deterioration in the way the tube service is run since boris took over as mayor. he's too busy promoting his cycle lanes to care about tube users. ken really was sorting out the transport system. unfortunately many people took it for granted. now we all suffer with line closures, delays etc etc.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0

so if something happens that you agree with the country is up the creek.
if something happens that you disagree with the country is up the creek.
is the loss of 800 jobs a good thing or a bad thing? (in your eyes)
also, the underground is supposed to be looked after by the mayor. a tory.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -

he was doing a great job spending all that money that didn't exist. any moron can fix the tube if they throw millions and millions at it. Ken's only problem was that all his funding only existed in lefty lala land.
Boris is now having to clear up his mess.0
