    How do LUL employees get to work for 4:30/5am?

    I work for London Overground and we get taxis on early shifts (5.15am) and if we finish later than 11pm. This is aslong as you don't have a single bus route home.

    East London Line jobs

Hoxton/Haggerston are "one man" stations so bear in mind you'll be on your own working there doing EVERYTHING. Shoreditch and Dalston are both really busy (especially in peaks...

    Overground opening

    I've been working at Dalston Junction the last few days and customers have been more confused than usual with the West Croydon and Crystal Palace trains now appearing (from Highbury and Islington) as opposed to just being on the platform for ages. Can't wait for the service to begin properly!
