I am not venturing out on the tube this weekend as I don think it will be pleasant

We haven’t noticed any issues tbh.
The train up here was a different matter due to fallen trees and leaves, but, on the whole, it’s been easy.
We had planned to walk ( we rarely get the tube) but then the rain came 😬

Why on earth would I have wanted to do that ?

Perhaps ask the same question to retail staff or Uber drivers, it’s a very much closed shop.

If its something you do not want to do why complain about what people get paid etc who are willing to do that job - you must obviously have a job that pays better, or better conditions etc.


It is not a closed shop - that is simply not true , TFL use a private recruitment company and have even advertised in Vogue magazine to encourage women drivers

If I want to use a service I want that service to run properly when I or others wish to use it. I don’t expect people on twice the national average salary to be manipulated by Marxist unions who have to do something to keep their leaders on high capitalistic salary’s.

Wish I’d saw this before Fri. We arrived for a long weekend on fri early evening, into Euston. It was absolute carnage. We ended up just walking to our hotel in Covent Garden, actually we’ve walked where we’ve needed to go most of the weekend.
