Funnily enough, where I work far more car drivers are late for work than
those who come in by PT...

Surely it's those Train Ops who drive in who can use the excuse "sorry
I'm late, bl**dy traffic at Staples Corner, Hanger Lane, M1" etc
without any expectation that the truth of this can be verified, whereas
those using LU services know any such false claims of disruption are
far more easily exposed? Thus PT users are more likely to leave for
work with time to spare.

As one of Steve's T/Ops, I can honestly say I've never used that excuse
despite using the NCR from East London daily. In fact in 3 years, I've
never (yet!, just look out for it to all go fubar tomorrow!!) managed to
book on late, go off sick or be on strike.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... I know, I'm the one and only!!
