The Problem is they are not used enough. Soon London Buses will no longer take Cash (are you aware of that) so you would have to go to a store that sells a pass or pre -book on smart phone. The Late Bob Crow had some good points but Everything Changes as young folks go Hi Tech Last edited by arista; 17-04-2014 at 02:53 PM. |

..but with the buses though, they will still have to drive the bus so it won't mean staff reductions... |

..companies always say no staff reductions though when they implement these changes but most of the time there are and not everyone wants to watch daytime TV...there must be a reason why the union aren't accepting this and are striking.... |

Yes The Union does not like the Future. Those that are not stepping down are able to move to other jobs. The Unions do not want changes. |

Will it mean changing contracts?.... my guess is yes. And as stated on the transport London website there are no guarantees that jobs are safe.
How often has that been said now? first with the refinery workers,then royal mail. now this...

Awww I love the old Routemasters, Salman. They should make the strikers pay for the overtime that they're causing. Reckon that'd get them back in the saddle.

Or How about all manual unskilled workers getting paid a decent wage like the tube train drivers, I think it's about Ł40,000 to Ł45,000 a year.
Not bad for saying "Mind the Gap".........a hundred times a day

I would certainly give it a good go, can't guarantee I would stop the train without some of it still in the tunnel though...........
