Default Is it just me or has the tube gone down the tubes?

Here is a radical approach to Central London deep
underground station and train cleaniness. Instead of having idle
Startion Assistants sitting around stations all day. Outside of rush
hours having them cleaning the stations.


In the dim and distant past, Railmen used to clean the station off-peak and
carry out platform duties during the peak. During the "cost effective"
driven days on the early ninties railmen were got rid of and contractors
were employed to do the cleaning. Some years later, some bright spark
realised that trains were being delayed because there was nobody carrying
out platform duties so introduced Station Assistant (Train Services) - SATS.

Would you like that wheel turned full circle, so you can moan about even
more LUL staff being employed, rather than contractors, who are cheaper?
