I don't think the general "mustn't-grumble public will really give a
stuff, will it? It would take a massive disaster on unprecented levels
- such as the death of many ten thousands of londoners through
terrorism - for them to do anything more than scratch their arses and
really make some permanent changes


I don't see how striking *against* having *more* staff visible on
platforms is going to do anything to stop the deaths of londoners from
terrorism. Can you explain that to me?

Is the strike maybe because ex ticket office staff might have to go
outside onto the cold platform and help people? That may be a valid
thing to be unhappy about, but not something to have a strike over
"safety" about!

I'm glad I cycle now
