I'm fairly sure London Underground isn't planning strikes during the
Olympics, except possibly planning on how to mitigate the effects of
any such strikes. It is possible that some of LU's employees have a
different attitude.


Some, possibly.


Shame you can't quote properly John Amber - your Mr Angry rant being
all mixed up with the text you were attempting to respond to.

Shame you also can't seem to comprehend the difference between London
Underground the employer, and their employees. One basic difference
is that employers generally don't have the habit of going on strike.

And if you've never seen a DLR train with a staff member on board then
I wonder just how often you have travelled on the DLR - every single
train has a 'Passenger Service Agent' (aka train captain) on board,
their presence isn't always apparent if you're not on the look out but
you won't go very far without one given that they close the doors
(without which the train won't move).
