I'm not trying to be confrontational here, but I've not heard a single
argument from ANYONE as to how the strikes have anything to do with safety.
The safety argument begins and ends at the word "safety" - perhaps you could
tell us how having less staff in ticket offices makes us more unsafe?

I'd understood that the references to safety were regarding the use of
either untrained staff (or, alternatively, no staff at all) as part of
LUL management's efforts to keep stations open during the strikes.
