Not only will it double my journey time to work but it will prevent me from taking my son to school, which doesn't happen enough as it is (good bit of father son bonding time).
And for what so some career union leader can fan his own bloody ego.
A tiny minority of union members were balloted and only a minority agreed to the the strike.
TFL have stated the changes (i.e. closing of ticket offices) will either mean redeployment of the staff to
be out off the office and on platform or the redundancies will be voluntary.
Every other business has to go through change, why no this one.
Grr angry.

Well the contingency plans are working well.
Nice free replacement bus service, they even ropped in a 1960s Routemaster bus. It actually ended up being quicker than
my normal journey.
Saying that the roads are clear, obviously half of London has decided to stay home or just can't get to a decent hub.

Very quiet in the office today. I notice all the self employed contractors have not made it in.
I managed to catch the first tube out of Morden this morning and despite standing for the entire journey, I got to Tottenham Court Rd a lot quicker because it wasn't stopping at every station.
I just know it's going to be mayhem going home and there seemed to be an extraordinary number of "Baby On Board" badges on display today. Mmm. How convenient and if this* is all that's required to get one, it may be open to abuse:-
*These are available from Tube station ticket offices. If you live in Greater London or south east England, you can also request a badge through our Customer Service Centre, by emailing your full name and address to babyonboard@tfl.gov.uk or by calling 0343 222 1234.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Also known as the majority.
What we are never told of course is how many people were interviewed before the director got the opinion he wanted to reinforce with some judicious editing. Not that the BBC is backing the socialists against the present incumbents.
I like to trust the impartiality of the BBC news, but sometimes I find myself questioning the outlook they present.
Left the city at 9.30pm. Got home at 12:30.
Spent and hour on the tube to end up where I started as stations were closed as we approached them. Ended up on the night bus home.
Unfortunately for me, as a cyclist, the strike means more gormless, mindless, rush hour walkers with their faces buried in their hand-held twit machines, crossing roads where and when they shouldn't. And hey, they're really surprised to see you when you pull up in their face. I've lost count of how many faces i could have slapped or phones i could have nicked from these prime morons.
