Piccadilly line

Chaos on the Picc yesterday, when a couple of hours' suspension in the early afternoon led to delays well late into the evening, no thanks to management's refusal to implement an emergency timetable.

Spare a thought for the beleagured station staff at Acton Town and Northfields. With half-hour...

Piccadilly line drivers are getting well naffed off with the regime on the line following the recent-ish arrival of a new performance manager.

One driver's employment was terminated after less than two months off sick. Another was sacked - upheld on appeal - following a driving error which was...

Management's plan to more-than-decimate our ticket offices continues apace. And there is a real mood amongst rank-and-file workers to fight back against it. Passengers too. A petition put together by staff at Boston Manor has already gathered more than 2,000 signatures. Repeat this across the...

As contractor YJL started work on the floor removal at Bounds Green, station staff were shocked to find their lockers chucked into the back yard, rather than in the promised Portakabin. The lockers were covered by only an unsecured thin nylon tarp, leaving staff to retrieve their uniform in the dark...

When LUL won 'train operator of the year', management inserted their short arms into their deep pockets and fished out £20 per staff member for a bit of a do.

Tubeworker hears that these dos have been somewhat patchy across the job. But spare a thought for poor old Arnos Grove group, who amidst a...

Cockfosters suffered staffing cuts when the shorter working week came in - although a concerted fight by local union activists meant they were much less severe than originally proposed.

But the effects of the cuts have now been made much worse by management inadequacy. A few examples: SAMF duties...

Only the other week, Tubeworker was pointing out that the new Northern line timetable is causing constant late running. It seems that the Picc has the same trouble.

Drivers at both depots are so naffed off with continually failing to get away from work on time that they are signing a petition and...

So you thought that the Rule Book was, er, a book of rules that you have to follow? We thought so too, but it seems that we might have been wrong.

Apparently, a Rostered Duty Officer (a what?) can bend the rules if s/he carries out a "dynamic risk assessment" in "real time". At least, that's the...

It's another unfair sacking, and once again Tube workers have to rally to the defence of a workmate. With the recent victory on the Jubilee line, we should all feel positive about winning this one too. Joe's branch is already campaigning, and like Neasden branch did for Raj and Les, putting out...

Beware working in the Ticket Hall at Bounds Green. There's some refurb work going on at the moment, and tiles have been removed from the walls leaving dusty brickwork exposed, without any covering.

One Station Supervisor has already suffered serious irritation to his eye from dust particles, and...
