Sick prone? What do you mean? Are you talking about the existing staff
taken on from the TOC or the new staff employed to enable the increased
staffing levels?


I suspect he's referring to SN's guards who are reported to be suddenly
suffering from a high level of "sickness".

As TfL has a DOO policy on all its lines, these sickness-prone guards
presumably won't be needed if their lines are transferred to LO.


Just imagine the strikes. The entitled ****s at the front couldn't apparently
cope with an extra 2 carraiges on a train due to ******** "safety" reasons so
trying to get rid of guards will inevitably mean trouble.
