Yeah its Late news I know but the poster tubes which were being delivered today by UPS at the Station are saying both the signallers strikes are being called off.
Damn I was so looking forward to a day off doing Customer Service.
Good old Bob Crow has decided to get all of his lovely signalers to go on strike over some pay talks which have broken down.
Well it seems its a threat again. But maybe this time it will go ahead and we can all get a day off.
Personally I dont want to work when Network Rails managers are working the signals *shudders*. I wonder could I refuse to work on Safety Grounds (i.e. that NR managers are only good behind desks earning stupid amounts of money and paying themselves even more stupid bonuses)? Interesting thought.
But here is the important information…..
Planned industrial action by some members of the Rail Maritime and Transport Union has been announced, commencing at 12 noon on Friday 21 July 2006 until 11.59am on Saturday 22 July 2006 and also between 12 noon on Thursday 27 July 2006 and 11.59am on Saturday 29 July 2006.
Train services between Potters Bar and London Kings Cross are being disrupted due to a trespass incident in the Potters Bar area.
Alterations and delays of up to 45 minutes can be expected for the next 2 hours.
Edit: This is now Cleared at 17:17
Okay so yeah im writing this post slightly later when the line has re-opened. Well apparently it has but im yet to see any improvement.
So what exactly are Metronet doing, apart from handing out bottles of water at Bank Station, to the Victoria Line? Since Monday their Engineering works have over run every morning.
This has resulted in angry tube passengers taking it out on us, never see Ken getting abuse from passengers do you. In actual fact does anyone actually see Ken?
We have been accepting Tube tickets for reasonable journeys for most of the mornings of the last few days.
Oh and the weather is still hot.
Yep its Monday morning again and surprise surprise the Tubes messed up again. It seems that the useless people ‘working’ on the Victoria line forgot that they were working to a deadline and so over-ran YET AGAIN.
I had to accept loads of underground tickets (on any reasonable route i.e. everywhere) and when will TfL upgrade their usless machines to actually print somthing on their tickets. 90% of the tickets I had pushed under my nose I couldnt even read due to crap printing, dont even ask about Oyster.
It seems that now there is a Signal Failure on the Victoria Line at Finsbury Park, yay yet more defaced, crappy printed tube tickets to accept.
Oh and of course the Misery Line is broken as per normal for a Monday. Roll on tomorrow.
