Bunch of enormously overpaid bastards. As said above, much of the tube is automated, all drivers usually do is make announcements, decide when to close the doors and leave the station. If we weren't wasting money on their undeserved wages we could complete the automation process and have a driverless (and very safe) system like Copenhagen.bloggoth

I don't understand why they don't hold off the night tube until they have agreement from drivers?
Then they need to recruit as many drivers as possible at a lower rate. Who cannot join a union. I think the free market should decide the correct wage for this job.Comment
