Boxing Day game could be called off

[Ric-Roc]

Game is on. Confirmed by club as earlier poster mentioned.

TfL needs to suck it up and invest in the technology to make all the trains driverless. Problem solved.

Its not a question of technology , its a question of safety .Anyway there are great swathes of the South East that still have oil burning semaphore signals ,( i s hit you not ) , so the chances of getting driverless mainline trains in our lifetime are pretty slim

worst case scenario if the trains are off and it snows I just have to get the staff out with the sledge again

My staff know that striking isn't an option. The employment law I enforce is straight out the "Gypo Driveways Employers Handbook"

As much as parking in the Borough is going to be free on the day the traffic will be chaos given that I guess Westfield will be into sales frenzy. Not only that, it means I don't get pre match beers :rage:

Drinking driving at Christmas makes me sick! If everybody stopped being so selfish and had a few whilst driving over the festive period like the good old days then the police couldn't possibly catch everyone and we'd all stand a much slimmer chance of getting nicked.

Seriously would you fly in a plane without a pilot ??????

Well their about to introduce a trial of driverless trains on the tube network so thats no an arguement. The docklands already is driverless as are networks like the metro in Newcastle.

Used to work on the underground when i left school. Pretty sure its all changed now but they did have a cushy number the drivers.

Bob Crow aint stupid either and is conveniently getting his members an extended Xmas break.

The technology exists already however it cant be used for H&S reasons.

I thought it was only on lines like the Central, Jubilee and Victoria Line?

Remember in the summer when LU staff demanded extra pay because of having to work late during the Olympics. Don't recall the doctors and nurses asking for more pay when they suddenly had a bit more to do for 3-4 weeks in the summer.

I think I read somewhere the other day that tube drivers are now on 50k a year plus numerous weeks holiday, free travel for themselves which is fair enough plus free travel for their families, discount on the trains and no doubt a good pension at the end of the day! But yet so many tube lines rarely work on the weekends and there are forever delays during the week!

Fark that I'd need to live in the SA Road concourse area then. I dont do walking. My inner thighs chafe.

Nah, 216 to Sunbury, 235 to Brentford, 237 to the Bush. Sorted!

- 53,000 pa
- 43 days annual leave
- 2/3rds final salary pension
- Lump sum payment when pension is drawn
- Free tube and network rail travel for life
- Early retirement due to decrease in life expentancy for working in the dark
- 2 grand given to them for working during the Olympics (ie. blackmail payment for not disrupting it)

There is a reason that tube drivers don't go elsewhere if they think their job is so bad like those of us in the real world have to. It's because they won't get anything near that anywhere else nor be able to hold the capital to ransom every year to get what they want.
