Default How well off are London's tube drivers and why are they striking?

How is that any different to what already happens when the last

Or even when main line trains arrive at unmanned stations at any

I don't see how station staff can be assaulted at an unmanned
station.


I think the safety claim is not the staff, but the passengers...


Why would they be any less safe than on the many night buses that run every
night, mainly without incident?

In any case, surely no-one believes that the unions actually care about
passenger safety? They're after more money for their members, that's all.
And if they do care about anyone's safety, it's their members', not the
customers'.
