Workers' Liberty

Jubilee Line management pulled a stunt that they thought would be a nice, attention-grabbing bit of propaganda, but has backfired and upset staff.

They send everyone a DVD, in a packet - not marked with the company's logo or a return address - which also contained a piece of signal cable. The problem was that in many cases, the cable tore through the envelope and stuck out, making it look very much like a letter bomb. Indeed, one member of staff evacuated his family to a place of safety and called the police to open the packet.

Egg on their faces? We think so. Perhaps management should just give up on the gimmicks and apply themselves to running a railway.
