If other stations repairs are anything to go by expect it to be out of
action
for at least 6 months. After all , LU keeps reminding us via posters etc
how these things are so complex it takes longer to repair them than it
does
NASA to ready a space shuttle for lauch and the repair time has nothing to
do
with them putting no more than a couple of bone idle halfwits on the job
who
never seem to be there whatever time of day you go past.


Oooooh look, another expert on maintaining the underground!!

Given that I'm an engineer by trade whose worked on machinary thats a *teensy*
bit complex than the glorified conveyor belts known as escalators I think I
have half a clue about how complex they are to fix - ie not very. But in good
old british tradition we keep getting spin about how they're so damn complex
it takes months to fix and so bloody forth. Bull****. They're about as simple
a bit of machinary as you can find, the REAL reason is LU and their sub
contractors couldn't organise a proverbial ****-up with less than 6 months
advanced notice.
