Its that time of year again

Silverlink stations were unstaffed during traffic hours. No LU or LO stations are or will be unstaffed during traffic hours. As the Evening Standard rightly says ...and other unlikely sentences ;-) closing ticket offices removes the station's focal point, gives the impression that the premises are unsupervised and allow staff to be anywhere on a station (but not where passengers can neccesarily find them). Depends on how it's done. It's not beyond the wit of man to put rules in place that force staff to be where passengers *can* find them, as long as they're not dealing with something else critical at the time. At my local station we still get constant recorded announces asking people to renew weekly tickets of Friday evenings even though the booking office now closes sharp at 19:00 ...so anyone who isn't an investment banker (and hasn't stayed in the pub for more than a couple) is still well placed to renew their weekly ticket on Friday evening, so the announcement is still sensible. No it isn't. Your previous statement is clearly false. (and the ticket seller post was removed so this person is *not* walking around the platforms to "reassure" passengers as LUL's publiciy claimed). That's a poor show by LUL if so. -- John Band john at johnband dot orgwww.johnband.org |

No it isn't. Your previous statement is clearly false. No, it's mildly hyperbolic. Nonetheless, I'd happily stake my life that the majority of people who: 1) work Monday-Friday jobs in central London 2) commute to/from Bow Road 3) don't go out after work on Friday night for more than a couple of drinks do arrive at that station before 7pm on a Friday evening. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
