Default Later Tubes on Fri & Sat

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.)


With tubes stating an hour later in the morning at weekend I'd have to get
a car to get to work on time. Once I buy a car and tax and insure it,
there is little reason for me to continue traveling via train in the week.
