Loads of lies have been told about the New Years Eve tube strike.



Here's the truth!



http://www.zoneonelondon.co.uk/

It reports 200 ticket seller jobs were exchanged for a drop in the
working week by one hour to 37.5 hours with 2.5 hours per week to be
carried forward as time off. I find it curious I have seen it described
as a 35 hour week deal.

I view it as a conspiracy to reduce the service to tube users.
My local experience of ticket sellers is that they are surprisingly nice
people doing a stressful job with inadequate management support.

My local station - Moorgate - has two ticket offices.
The ground level one is often closed without there being an obvious
opening hours schedule. Yesterday, both were shut. I walked to Liverpool
Street to renew a season ticket. The ticket seller was unable to put a
price on a season ticket starting in January. I was amused.

We should probably replace fares with a local V.A.T. ;)






I couldn't give a ****, you utter ****!


So you are one miniscule little know-nothing pip squeak and you've proved it
to every one. Go play with the live track and do us all a favour!

is not worth a "passenger incident". Otherwise, I agree.

What refund is due for today and tomorrow's service interruption?

I note you multi-posted to uk.local.london.info and uk.transport.london.
That results in 3 separate debates and (trivially) wastes bandwidth. I
cross-post this to facilitate one. (You cross-post by putting more than
one newsgroup name separated by commas in the Newsgroups header. Some
ISP's have local policies which limit cross-posting. Use judiciously. ;)

I think the guy was ok in his crossposting because he posted to three

Do you mean me or the multi-posting OP?

relevant groups.

Any decent newsreader wil be able to kill crossposts by recognising
their message ID and not showing any but the first one it comes
across.

OTOH if the writer multi-posted then the newsreader has very little
chance to squelch his other messages.

He multi-posted. I suggested he should have cross-posted. I thought he
started something which had the potential to be a valuable debate.
By nulti-posting, he fractured the debate. I found that sad, assumed it
was due to technical ignorance, and tried to inform and correct.
