It is time to speak out

[severe_delays]

Today has been a day of dancing and madness at the Delays hovel. And also a day of jaws hitting floors so often that I've had to get my handlamp out to scour under the furniture for those that detached and rolled away. Why such expressions of joy? Because London Underground managers have been found to be idiots, conspirators, lawbreakers and such

Sadly, this is by no means the only occasion where individuals within LUL have committed acts of this nature. The usual tactic is to deny that there is a problem until those involved get tired and give up. It's good to see that the judge has not believed the lies and denials. There are times when it is very scary working for this company.

I could point out that it's not a week of strikes as it's only part of some days but that would be rather disingenuous. . That is obviously not going to help you or others who need to get places as each day will be impacted by the events of the previous or next. From a technical point of view it's been cleverly designed as it only costs each striker one or two day's wages per week. Thus ensuring maximum support while minimising losses. Is it necessary? Yes. It's been put in place because LUL have previously shown that they can struggle through one-day strikes by getting managers and unlicenced individuals to take the place of the strikers. So logically, it would have to be more than one day.

As for the trolls? Yes, there are a few people who read this blog only to post provocative statements. Presumably it amuses them. I don't really understand the point of consistently reading a blog where you fundamentally disagree with or dislike the content but there we go. Sometimes I reply to such comments and occasionally if they are very rude I delete them.
