LUL have announced plans to introduce a new grade within service control, this role will replace the old Line Information Assistant and the multi functional SCL2 role on the central, jubilee and Bakerloo Lines.

It is proposed that Line Information Specialists will disseminate information to staff, contractors and the public however SCL2's will be expected to cover this duty as and when required.

LUL have intimated if the unions do not agree this change will be imposed, 30 plus Service Controller two positions ar at risk.

Staff side have refused to accept the proposals and they have been reffered to directors level, George Mcinulty who surprisingly came up with the concept will be ruling on it.

The machinery is not fit for purpose.TSSA and ASLEF also oppose these proposals.
