Boxing Day Tube Strike - What A Surprise
Should the management call their bluff and close the Underground for
the day? I am sure this would save a large sum of money and perhaps assist with engineering. Loss of revenue would be limited because some of the passengers must have season tickets and I don't expect they could claim a refund, any more than claiming a refund for no services on Christmas Day. Have the TfL management, or any other's railway management, considered calling for volunteers to be trained (and of course security, health etc checked) as standby, volunteer drivers? I can see a host of problems (sorry, "challenges") and expect there are many more I cannot see. But I can also see (i) a lot of people queuing up to fulfil a childhood dream and (ii) the prospect of a very big counterweight to the unions' power. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |
