It seems that many of the Control Room staff at Neasden have been working despite their safety-critical licensing having expired.

Management's explanation is that there has been a failure of the 'systemised management system'. Brilliant: a systemised system. What next? Safe safety? A licence to license?

If Tubeworker was about to drive a train through the areas covered by Neasden Control Room, then we would be checking that everyone was properly licensed first.
