Bakerloo Line

Nice Place To Work. Not.

Today's the day that management expect former Willesden Junction staff to go to work at Stonebridge Park, despite not actually bothering to ask them if they want to transfer there, and having ignored all their letters of protest.

But why would anyone not want to work at lovely Stonebridge...

Uncovered Duties

Duty sheets at Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus are showing loads of duties unfilled.

At Oxford Circus, 6 full time and 6 part time positions are vacant. There are not enough staff to stretch, and platforms where the Business Needs says there needs to be SATS are left unstaffed (with what impact...

You Are Driving Too Slowly!

Yes, you won't believe this but drivers on the Bakerloo have been told off and told an item will go on their 'HOLISTIC RECORD' for entering Willesden Junction too slowly on the northbound causing the wrong road trainstop to raise and rear trip the train.

Now correct us if we are wrong, but...

Sunny Stonebridge

Management want to transfer the Willesden Junction staff to Stonebridge Park next month. All their propaganda states this. But the staff concerned have not been asked nor their rep consulted!

If the jobs go then staff should be displaced as per agreements, not told "well, that's where you are...

Wot no Station Supervisor?

The ink is not dry on the stations agreement with management and they start their old tricks again.

Last Sunday, 13th April, there was no SS2 on duty at Harrow & Wealdstone from 0700 til 1900. The only other CSA on duty was newly-qualified ex-Silverlink. Two platform staff to manange 6 platforms...

Frying Pan. Fire.

LUL's plan to move detrainments from Willesden Junction to Stonebridge Park will whip staff out of the frying pan and toss them into the fire.

Stonebridge lacks the most basic facilities that station staff need to get through a shift in minimum comfort. The best 'solution' management seem able to...

Detrain Alone? Er - No!

Back in early February, there was a suspected one-under at Kenton, which came to light when a Virgin train stopped short at Harrow & Wealdstone early in the morning.

Just after 8am, line control phoned Harrow & Wealdstone and asked for ONE CSA to go to Kenton to do detrainments. Yes, that's one...

Training Other Companies' Staff To Do Our Jobs

It seems that staff destined for the Heathrow Terminal 5 are to be trained at Queen's Park station in detrainments.

But Heathrow T5 is to be staffed by non-LUL staff, so why are we letting them train on our stations?!

This has no doubt been agreed with LUL management. Pity they didn't agree it...

Swag Bag

Despite promising not to let it happen again, management have once again allowed cash to be carried on a train from one station to another on the north end of the Bakerloo line. Over a grand took the trip from Kensal Green to Harrow & Wealdstone with a DSM late at night.

To make matters worse, the...

Queen's Park: Wot No Staff?

LUL is very proud of its new acquisitions from Silverlink. Shame it doesn't put the effort in.

At Queens Park last week, the ticket office remained closed for three days or more, with the gateline powered down. That's what it was like in the 'bad old days' under Silverlink, and just the sort of...
