Its Time for Action

Enough is Enough !!!!!!

"Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to." - Harriet Lerner 1985

The Tube is London's main transport system. It is the central nervous system of the the living being that is the world's greatest capital city. However if a human body had to rely on a central nervous system that operates like this it would probably be very ill at the very least or dead.

This weblog will set out to be as fair as possible in its assessment of the overall service but will concentrate on the service recieved by the most important group of "customers" , the commuters. We pay more, get treated the worst and seemingly complain less. Dont YOU realise that if you dont act you get the service you deserve. In France they would have filled the trains with rotten eggs, sheep or some other agricultural product in protest. But then again filling them with French people is, I suppose, enough for anyone (en plaisantant)

I would encourage comments on the subjects below and will publish the best. I encourage genuine anger, sacarsm, wit and anecdotes. I seek volunteers to establish localised commuter panels at each station so that we can act in harmony to effect change or at the very least register our displeasure. Who know's we may even be able to harmonise on positive comments if we succeed.

Its time to be heard.

The Service - Strike action at Christmas!!! - Let em have it
The Cost - Well let's face it, it's a piss take
The Passengers - What and who do you find annoying.
The Staff - Comments invited.
The Trains - How do normal people fit in those circle line seats.Lucky we're not Americans.

I will be publishing a post on these subjects over the next few days and will incorporate comments (see bottom of page to post comments).

The next post will set the scene for opinion polls on various subjects. Please send in your ideas on posting subjects and polls. I will publish guest articles so please inidicate your willingness to write them and have them published.

This weblog is not just for my edification, entertainment or venting of frustrations. Its a London thing where ever you are from.
