'Weekend Tubes': decision on later start and finish times
steve wrote in
news SNIP This shows why you should not answer on behalf of others as you clearly don't know the facts. Clubbers would loose out due to the later start on Sunday and will not benefit from a slightly travel closure, people don't leave clubs at 1am. You're right. It's nothing to do with clubs, which tend to close at 6 in the morning (some clubs close around 3 or 4 but these tend to be on the outskirts of London). So it'll be a major PITA for clubbers, which is annoying as the last thing you want to do on a Sunday morning is wait for the tubes to open. So we'll end up getting ripped off or raped by very dodgy minicabs, or driving under the influence of drugs and drink. This whole public consultation would have been probably rejected by clubbers. But for drinkers, it's good. People do now leave pubs around that time, so those not into clubbing will benefit. What I don't understand though is why they've stitched us up by half an hour. Add half an hour at night, but a whole bleedin' hour in the morning? Are they having a laugh? Why don't they instead lose half an hour's maintenance work in the morning, and simply employ more staff to get the jobs done quicker with the revenue created from all those £3 single journeys created as people take the tube home instead of a cab! :-)) TRISTÁN |
