Guess what? Tuesday's "Peoples' Question Time" at New Cross took a vote
on later running of the Undrground on Fridays and Saturdays and no
surprise there was around a 65% majority in favour. BUT, at no time was
the consequential later start by one hour on Sat & Sun mornings
mentioned (apart from one shouted voice from the audience). How many
other "world cities" have to "rob peter to pay paul" in order to get a
proper late night train service, and how much longer are the PPP
infracos going to hold London's commuters to ransom? (30 years I guess.)


I see that people want ever more tube services for ever longer time periods,
but the reality is that a certain number of hours are needed for
maintenance. Whilst it would be marvellous to have service both later and a
earlier, people will have to accept that this is having your cake and eating
it. My concern is that TfL are not being more open about this.
