Which London Underground route has the most stations in daylight?

[Old Walter]

Who is reporting this?

Sounds like complete nonsense and if I asked Mr W Hill for odds on what you state in respect to no pnb time in the platform on the east I'd get 5000/1 !

Bit of a thread bump (and it’s not even on topic about LU routes running outside!) but I was reminded of this when I saw that the issue we were discussing had made depot notice boards. Also management side at the meetings with Duty Schedules along as staff (union) side have reported the same. Attached is the notice board element, which I don’t think will be an issue as RMT make many similar comms available on their London Calling site:

Are there any depots which are seriously short staffed?

I've noticed that there are often a lot of cancellations at weekends. Why is this given that I think that LUL operates a seven day roster and there is little overtime. More leave taken at weekends? Absenteeism?

Most lines are short staffed, generally the whole job is. That’s a result of an agreement made in 2009 where the figures were wrong and things have never worked properly since. The planned four day week would make things even worse with proposals which would impose a coverage model with pretty much zero leeway. It doesn’t work now, the plan going forward would make things much worse. To be fair LU have had their savings out of the driving grade already, with the 2009 changes, the changes to accommodate the Night Tube grade and various changes to the job roles concerned. If the organisation genuinely wants to provide a decent service to the public it needs to make positive changes (which might involve them putting their hand in their pocket) , not expecting to forever draw blood from a stone

For once LU have listened, and the reduction in turnaround time at T5 seems to have died a death.

That’s good, thanks Mawkie, much obliged : )
