1) 52 days off isnt for drivers as asked above. Station staff only. And its
actually payback for hours worked. (In arrears and if you are off sick they
dont accumulate so you get less time off). As it should be.
2) 4 day week is off the agenda - it wont happen.
3) Anyone want to come down on the tube for the after midnight travellers is
more than welcome. Just buy a ticket and stand at the gates at
say...Brixton. Its not a petty site.
5) No amount of money compensates for the spit, vomit, excrement, abuse. It
does however make it easier to cope with as it buys a lifestyle.
6) No....(i know what most are thinking). Why should tube staff be forced to
leave a job just because a minority of the travelling public cant behave.
Try shouting/spitting at your pub bouncer.....
7) Why cant we be like other city transit/metros. No eating or drinking
while travelling. Opps forgot, no one to enforce it.
8) Suprisingly they get lots of support when on industrial action. Really.
Honest. They do.
9) Just cos the BBC says they have half the population wanting to use the
tube at 2am dont mean its correct. Didnt they say something about Iraq...or
a scientist once.
10) I think Saturday nights/Sunday mornings are a bit quiet when it comes to
the PPP boys and overnight engineering works. An hour extra here probably
wouldnt hurt a great deal. (Sorry T/Ops...its a bit of give and take)!
11) All the lines have night shift T/Ops already, the frequency of the
service at that hour extra probably wouldn't require a huge increase in
T/Ops on duty....Station staff are another story...minimum requirement for
manning and all that.
12) There is no number 12

the coming months. If approved, services would be extended by the end of

How can it be called being "extended" when the closed hours are just
shifting?
