Bank Robbery

Bank station has recenty finished phase 1 of its upgrade project. Phase 2 is soon to follow, starting in February or March, with further phases after that.
The station has had additional CSAs to ensure that the extra work generated by the project can be carried out. So you might think that those CSAs should stay on the station for phase 2. But management have a different idea - boot them out and let the SRT do the work instead.
PA or Passenger Safety?
Submitted on
And on the subject of new train stock, it seems that there are a couple of glitches with the new Victoria line trains - a less-than-perfect PA system, and a problem with the doors whereby the 'sensitive edge' may not stay sensitive forever.
So, which of these two problems do you think management are prioritising sorting out before the trains go into passenger service (due very shortly)? PAs or passenger safety? Yep, you guessed it - PAs!
