London without the Tube is a nightmare

Thank goodness I work in walking distance from the train station. Queues for buses and taxis utterly nuts.

I used to love London but I avoid it at all costs now, it's turned into a massive couldron of stress and overcrowding.
If I HAVE to go there, i prefer to get around by bus whenever possible, we get to see places that we'd never see on the tube and it's not as much of a squeeze to get on and off

I have found it rather refreshing. I have twice made a return journey, which I would normally make by bus and tube, by several overground trains plus a bit of walking. It took only a little longer than usual, and was much more enjoyable.

I occasionally work in London, I tend to use my motorbike when possible as the commute from Hertfordshire is not the best
The RMT know this. They know that London cannot function without them, so they demand and get disproportionately huge salaries, massive amounts of paid leave, and flexible hours as and when they want because .

Then, when they've had their fill, and are feeling aggrieved that it's taking too long to pay off their second homes, and that they have only had five holidays this year, they strike.

This is the way.

I usually walk, sometimes bus it ,when I'm in London. I only use the tube to get to places like the 02 or Wembley ..anything more than say three stops ,I would consider it

Is it bust?
ironborn · 51-55, M
@Degbeme it's a planned strike, finishes on Thursday but dont know if they got the reduction to 32 hours p/w and more money they want. If not they'll no doubt strike again...
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@ironborn Inconveniencing a lot of people
ironborn · 51-55, M
@Degbeme indeed
They do earn very good money..pissing off the public won't help their cause.
It's horrendous 🤣
