One question I have: this move was designed to cut staff costs, so have the
numbers on duty dropped?
I would say no , at the moment. But I suspect the long term plan is to not
rehire people who leave so reducing staff costs that way. Thank god Boris will
soon be out otherwise I suspect LU would have ended up like the DLR or the
Newcastle metro with scarcely any staff to be seen anywhere.

And yet my experience of a (mostly) staff-free system, posted a few
weeks back, is that it works.

I'm definitely not going grey, but I am going vain.
