Dont live or work in London, and even when I do I dont use public transport unless I absolutely have to, so would arrange it so that I dont when there are strikes on.

I did like the Octopus option though.

First I heard about the strike was 2 days ago.

Its going to be pretty awful as it always causes absolute chaos. The roads are packed, you cant get on a bus, cycling is too dangerous through central London and this is before you throw peoples frayed tempers into the mix.

Still, at least these smug posters will have to be taken down as the 40% they are quoting is going to take a hammering with essentially what is a day and a half of delays

you sure that they won't reclassify the delays?

It'll affect me about as much as a leaf falling on one of the more remote Antipodes Islands

They should create a TV series, "I am a contractor, get me out of here". They could do trials, such as spending 2 hours trapped in a rammed London tube train during the hottest July on record, with someones unwashed armpit pushed into their face, and being forced to stand up in a packed commuter train for 3 hours, whilst it trundles along at 30 mph, even though they paid £200 to travel first class.

The traffic on my staircase was light and free flowing this morning and I note that the action doesn't start until 18:30 by which point my return staircase commute will be done. Tomorrow might be a completely different matter but I doubt it will be. It'll most likely be the same but in different pants.

[DimPrawn]

Yes, it'll affect me.

I'll be laughing at the news watching everyone trying to cram into one overheated sardine can of sweaty commuters, thanking my luck that I've not done that for years.

^ This.

And wondering what the beardy bloke is doing rummaging in his rucksack whilst shouting "God is good"

I don't know what a stike is or what effect it would have on any of my tubes.
