"No one is fooled by the mayor's spin that this is primarily about
pay. There is big concern that in stations outside central London,
night tubes will be stopping at stations that will have no minimum
staffing levels - which could mean just one member of staff dealing
with the public coming home after a late night out. This is a safety
nightmare and clearly not good for these staff or the public. […]"

How is that any different to what already happens when the last tubes
arrive at suburban stations at around 1am?

And what's the betting that the demands resolve, as they usually do,
into more money?
