    I pay too much for the Oyster card to have to take alternative options!
    TFL can strike all they want but the people paying for monthly travel cards should get refunded as this is already ridiculous!!

      Who said tfl earns minimum wages. Police workers usually resign to work to tfl. Plus if tfl workers want to strike then they should strike company but not people

    I mean I know what it feels like as a person doing their exams this year, however I also do understand the fact that if you felt that something wasn't right within your own workspace that you'd also be likely to go on strike too.

      They're overpaid as it is. They need to be gotten rid of and replaced with automated trains. This will reduce disruption and cost to the user.

    • @TransporterTony

      @@MultipleUselessness Er, no. That's where I strongly disagree. Automatic trains won't work for two reasons.
      A) it outs people out of their job, and carries risks to the public
      B) TfL are bankrupt as it is. If I told you TfL hired some of their trains, would that surprise you? There's a lot most people don't realise about TfL and how it just about breaks the surface to just about operate.

    Shame on the guardian for not backing the workers. Striking not for financial gain, but simply against bullying in the workplace

      Guardian has changed. I've heard that several of the board are rich share holder types. The articles are center right these days. Where is the coverage about the strike, the reasons for it?
