Default london underground - enough staff - or cut backs needed ?

london underground - enough staff - or cut backs needed ? 07.12.15



london underground are accomplices

they are guilty of terror

by focusing just on fiances

i will highlight the main error.

job losses were frequent

over ridden was public safety

stations attracted the delinquent

pushing up rail fares was crafty.

now we are scared

but the horse has bolted

but if london underground really cared

the station staff would not have been management assaulted.

employ police at every station

it is cheaper then a TFL contract

next year ticket rises will 1000 times beat inflation

your travel expenses will never subtract.

continue to ticket office cement

and machine is more reliable and cheaper

our venerability won't dent

so make sure next years cuts are a hell of allot deeper.

Cutbacks should be halted especially moreso with the terror threats, the more people there are being observant the better, not less.

The train companies will be as big a cartel as the energy companies soon.

Cut backs all the way. Technology runs most things more efficient than any human being can these days.

Ah yes, that'll surely solve the unemployment rate.. isn't the usual phrase right-wingers use that 'lazy scroungers' need to work and stop 'scrounging off the welfare state'..

Because I hate to break it to you, but you'll have a lot more people on the dole if you start replacing their jobs by machines.

I answered the OP. There was no question in the original OP about it having any impact in job cuts outside of this situation.

I agree there should be more cutbacks, there seem to be far too many of them just standing around doing very little.

We could start with sacking that guy who just sits in an office all day looking at a monitor and saying " mind the gap" when a train comes into the station. Unbelievable waste of resources...

nedusa - that is a tape recorder my darling - the proof is he sounds the same every time.

as for people standing around - that is what we need - its a deterrent and people often need help or don't understand things.

I agree, I actually think more are needed on the underground in this age of likely terrorists attack.
Machines will be useless.

if we just closed the underground completely that would save the most money, and then we could make everyone walk the trip and remove the growing obesity problem at the same time .... sorted

Get rid of all staff and just have G4S staff on minimum wage on every train with a sub machine gun, that should keep everyone in line AND counter terrorism #sortedit
