Oi !! Taxi For The Driver !!


The Bakerloo Line between QPK & SPK is to be shut down over the Xmas and New Year period.
And with the record of recent line shut downs, we are worried.
Very worried.
No thought seems to have been given to the safety of T/Ops and Station staff having to yomp from booking on at QPK DT up to SPK.
On the replacement bus service.
With scores of potentially irate drunken punters who have just been turfed off the combine at Queens Park
Quite clearly staff in full LUL uniform carrying equipment bags etc are an easy target for members of the public wishing to vent their anger at the lack of a train service between QPK & SPK.
Indeed it is incumbent on LUL management to provide a “place of safety” for its staff should the need arise.
Where on the replacement bus service or whilst waiting for the bus is the required place of safety?
What about the meal break facilities that are being offered.
Some meal reliefs are scheduled for SPK DT.
Will the canteen be available post 1900?
Where are the alternative food outlets available?
The overwhelming desire for the H&S and welfare of our members warrant an urgent ad hoc meeting to discuss these pressing concerns.
