During the forthcoming engineering closures on the Bakerloo line, management have a cunning plan. They think they can send Stonebridge Park station staff to work at Willesden Junction. The minor hitch they seem to have overlooked is that Willesden Junction is not an LUL station. In fact, no LUL staff have worked there since Bakerloo detrainments stopped at the station a year ago.
To make matters worse for the unfortunate Stonebridge CSAs, there is now no Station Supervisor there, so LUL is expecting them to turn up and book themselves on remotely by phoning another station! And they are supposed to deal with lost property even though that is a Supervisor's job and there isn't even anywhere to store it securely.
Adding insult to injury, management have unilaterally moved the ticket office staff's start times to earlier in the morning so that they can detrain the first trains alone! Sorry, but didn't we have a long-running dispute about lone working detrainment? And wasn't the outcome that no-one was supposed to do lone working detrainment any more? And didn't local staff and Tubeworker say that we thought the wording of the 'settlement' was not watertight enough?
