Well I tohugh Comrade Crow had been quiet for some time.


Other than a chance to stomp their feet and have a little tantrum shouting
"its not fair" like a 5 year old, what exactly is that buffoon expecting to
achieve other than dragging tube drivers reputation even lower than the
sub basement level its already at? The chances of LU re-hiring these idiots is
zero.

Well it is less than 500 days until the Olympics, so I suppose he has
to keep practising. I would have thought that he would have held a
strike last Friday.

Not much point striking on a bank holiday - most of them would have had
the day off anyway so they've nothing to gain from it.

I don't think they're striking just to have a day off. And, no, these guys get their bank holidays added to their leave so they can take them when they want.
