TFL laughing all the way to the bank... again!

Was thinking of all the money TFL is saving by not having to run the Piccadilly Line. Will any commuters get any compensation for the service TFL are charging for but not providing? How much extra money will TFL make from payg users forced to get an additional bus to get to a working tube station?..... and back!

Yet again TFL is able to monetise its abusive monopoly.

    Just saying are you? Sounds like your monomania is at it again.
  • How can they run the picc line when they have no drivers to drive them?

    Its also part of the contract you enter when you travel with them

    There obviously not paying striking drivers. I think I’m correcting in saying that London Underground uses 1%? of all the electricity used in the entire U.K. per year. That’s a lot of 50p’s they won’t need to be putting in the Piccadilly Line electric meter. Again, how many 1000’s of PAYG users have been left £6 out of pocket getting to and from a tube/train station on a bus not to mention those that incurred conjestion charge fees driving into central London.

    So again I’ll ask does TFL actually lose any money on strike days?

    When there is zero competition and zero alternatives an abusive monopoly can force people ‘agree’ to pretty much what ever it wants.
