Properly irate about the TFL strikes this week - ill thought out and going to get them no sympathy.
Fares go up year on year with no noticeable improvement to the day-to-day running of the service. There's a cheaper and more efficient way of getting your tickets which is either online or using one of the MANY automated machines which are insanely simple.
Cutting ticket office staff would save £50+ million a year, and have no noticeable difference to the vast majority of regular users.
There's so many things on tonight, one of which I'm aware of through work, is a Taylor Swift sold out gig at the O2. It's just negligent of TFL to close down services in the evening which will mean many 1000 of these young teenagers will have to find another way home.
Tomorrow, I'll have to drive in to London as my tube line is knackered and there's no bus to work, but everyone else will be doing the same and roads will be impenetrable. I'll likely be doing upwards of 4 hours of travelling tomorrow from about 7 miles from the office.
Whats more, I bet it isn't even a proper strike: as in, those station staff won't be stood outside tonight in the pouring rain with little signs. Just jumped at a chance for another day off - to go with the triple pay on bank holidays etc ... All this after it was announced there'll be no voluntary redundancies.
Arses.
