Re: tube strikes
Public transport in the capital is a joke. Unions have too much control and the overcrowded trains are so awful. The unions know they can hold London to ransom as the city needs the underground to get it's workers to and from the office.
Without tighter union control and a lot more investment the public transport system will end up killing London. More & more companies are moving out, more people working from home etc...
The Government should take a good look at the transport systems in Paris, Munich, Madrid etc, they are run so much better and not over crowded. Busy yes, but not uncomfortable, and they're cheaper too....
(Sorry 'Ness, but it's the main reason why I decided not to work in the City again...).
