I don't think it fair that LU should stay open later to accomodate
late night revellers, whilst starting later in the mornings, causing
hard working Londoners grief in getting to work. It's us Londoners
that keep London going.

How busy are the trains at 5.30am?

And do they really use the full close-time every night?

Are other similar systems closed for five hours every night?
The 5.30 am start isn't the problem as the late start would only be
needed on Saturday and Sunday unless of course the masses decide to
binge drink Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday
night aswell. The trouble is would it be reasonable in a city like
London to expect 6.30 start on Saturdays and 7.30 on Sundays. Add to
that late running engineering work and you wont be able to get into
London until 9am on a Saturday and God knows what time on a Sunday.
Now Ken was going on about the reduction in retail spending as a result
of the bombing. Will the retail organisations allow the late running to
go ahead, I don't think so.
