    London Underground Managed Decline

    As other posters have rightly said, there was a severe shortage of drivers. Reversing off one platform won’t help either.

    London Underground Managed Decline

    This is from the timetable notice, an internal document, where the planned service was laid out. In connection with train arrestor installation at Wood Green and tamping works at Oakwood, the Piccadilly Line train service will be suspended between King’s Cross and Cockfosters from...

    Does TFL have in house welders?

    LU do employ their own welders. Looking at the internal document showing the pay rates, it’s 50-60k a year depending on whether you’re days or nights. No idea when the job will be advertised again, so keep an eye on the TFL jobs page on their website.

    Oyster Card 'Registration' and Railcard Discount

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. As someone who works in outer London, I've put railcard and young visitor discounts on frequently, without issue, for many years. Also, so have many of my colleagues. 1692380317 There are two types of registration. Basic and full. Basic is what most people...

    Rail Books in Rye are very good. Quick and helpful service, Mail order only, but they do attend some model railway exhibitions in the South.

    Jubilee train to Charing Cross

    According to internal documents the Controller failed to inform the driver of the change of destination. Equally the driver wasn’t reading their display at Green Park. So an oversight on both.

    RMT Strike affecting London Underground services from 23rd to 28th July; ASLEF Strike action on 26th and 28th July. (Strike now suspended)

    TFL have now said that any managers downgraded to supervisors will receive 3 years of protected earnings. So you were ‘mapped or ‘promoted’ into the role for no extra money, and will now potentially receive a heft pay cut as you are denoted to a supervisor salary. Very nice of TFL, whilst the...

    RMT Strike affecting London Underground services from 23rd to 28th July; ASLEF Strike action on 26th and 28th July. (Strike now suspended)

    Incorrect. It’s station managers who are being culled if TFL get their way. It’s going full circle. Station supervisors were ‘promoted’ to the customer service manager role. Extra responsibilities for no extra reward. So, as predicted by staff and the unions back in 2015 there are far too...

    TFL role play - Drunk Customer Scenario! Please help

    Although you have a duty of care, you also have to think of your own safety. Drunks can change in an instant. I’ve seen it many times. I would not recommend going into a private area with them. Things could turn nasty, you’d have no witnesses or CCTV. I’m assuming this is for a CSA role? That...
