I left the house at a truly ungodly hour but am safely on my way to the airport thanks to a bus and the Elizabeth line… So glad I didn’t waste £££ on a taxi! #TubeStrike

Dear graffiti artists on the Piccadilly line, more like this please. #railstrikes #tubestrike

A little observational poem about London tube rides: "Travelling Home From Work." #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #WritingCommunity #poems #Moments #MomentsThatBringUsTogether
#observation #underground #tube #TubeStrike #slidingdoors

today I walked and walked and walked

I walked past lots of people in London who were standing at bus stops

the queues and the buses were busy

I am now walking home - it's 5 miles away across zone 1

that will probably bring my total distance covered today to something like 18 miles

what's wrong with walking?

So, @TfL know how important their staff are to winning back customers: “Our focus continues to be on making customers feel safe via a reassuring staff presence and keeping our network clean and well maintained, while ensuring we operate a reliable and efficient service.” Yet London Underground is cutting station staff, attacking agreements that control working conditions and working with the government to attack workers’ pensions. Plus it still outsources its cleaners….

Here’s a fascinating graphic from @TfL in October this year – Passenger satisfaction with @TfL is on a downward trend EXCEPT in relation to their experience of its staff. Staff consistently outscore other elements of @TfL’s performance.

RT @RMTunion: We offered to suspend the strike action, sadly @TfL turned us down.

Cutting station staff roles while WVA is rising is just wrong and will expose staff to greater risk -Read the @RMTunion policy briefing here

In a survey carried out last year, @RMTunion revealed that 3 in 4 TfL workers had experienced WVA in the last year. 61% of all transport workers surveyed and 51% of staff in public facing roles were working alone when they were subjected to violence.

The latest data from @TfL show that levels of Workplace Violence and Aggression on London Underground are rising.
Yet @TfL want to reduce the numbers of staff

These cuts are making the Underground less safe and less attractive to the public. Last December, we exposed the @TfL data showing the rising levels of crime and Anti-Social-Behaviour and public anxiety. ⬇️

Here is @TfL explaining they have lost 700 permanent staff, around 170 Full Time Equivalents leave every period and gaps are being filled with Agency Workers – This de-staffing of London’s Transport is managed decline.

Here is the @MayorofLondon saying on 24th June “I’m quite clear I’m not persuaded that there are any grounds to change the pensions of those who work for TfL.” ⬇️

That @TfL pensions paper again – here they are saying that the reforms demanded by government, which they have to agree with the DfT in January, are unacceptable and will leave members worse off than other public sector workers. ⬇️

On pensions, the case for ‘reform’ is dead. Here is @TfL saying, basically, 'the unions were right all along, we should have waited for the valuation.' ⬇️

Our members are angry that cuts to jobs, conditions and pensions are being pushed through by people who know it’s wrong and unnecessary, as a consequence of the Tory government’s politically motivated attack on London.
