Flash and Peep?

Bakerloo management have replaced the 'flash and dash' with the 'flash and peep'. Rather than expecting drivers to flash the lights, close the doors and drive off into the depot, they will now have staff peer in through the windows to check if there is anyone on board and release any prisoners...

Special Requirement?

Tubeworker hears that Special Requirement Team station staff have been sent to the north of the Bakerloo Line to do detrainment duties.

Drivers' action short of strike continues to cause delays. LU must be feeling the pressure if they're sending station staff to assist drivers physically...

Private security guards on our trains? No way!

Under pressure from united and solid action, and increasingly desperate, Bakerloo line management have come up with a proposal that would be laughable were its implications not so dangerous: private security guards on the trains.

Yes, they want to put hired muscle on the trains to 'protect' drivers...

Battle of Bakerloo

As drivers in both unions continue to insist on a safe dtrainment procedures, management are playing games rather than facing up to the issue. Unfortunately for them, it's not working.

One By One

Bakerloo Line drivers have been pulled in one by one for a 'chat' with managers to find out what they think of the pay deal. If they hope to find staff willing to accept the deal, they will be disappointed. The overwhelming feeling is that the money isn't good enough and we should oppose a five year...

Defend Detrainment Staff!

LU management are coming after station staff jobs again - this time, detrainment staff on the north end of the Bakerloo line.

Management announced to staff at the end of June that all 38 trains in the Bakerloo fleet are due to be modified, and for some reason they think this means they won't need...
