Union notice over unstaffed blood vessel stations

Tube stations in London were continually left unstaffed, formulating dangerous conditions for travellers, a kinship claimed today.

The Rail Maritime and Transport kinship pronounced it had performed sum display that from Oct 2009 to Mar this year surface-level stations on the District, Central, Metropolitan, Circle Hammersmith and Northern lines were left unstaffed for complete shifts on 439 occasions. One station, Mill Hill East, was left unstaffed for 95 shifts.

Transport for London pronounced reserve is paramount, adding that the sum showed the sum series of shifts not staffed were less than 1% of stations on top of ground, and did not embody any stations that were underground.

The kinship warned of worse to come on staffing since of LUs plans to cut 800 hire posts.

General cabinet piece of Bob Crow said: The muggers" bliss of unstaffed stations is already a being opposite total swathes of the Tube complement as these new sum demonstrate.

We already have proposals on the list that will force Tube drivers to lift afar from stations but operative mirrors or cameras and but the benefit of height staff. It is usually a make a difference of time prior to a newcomer is dragged underneath a Tube sight as a effect of these forward cuts.

A TfL orator said: London Undergrounds destiny staffing proposals will go on to meant protected stations staffed at all times and all stations with a sheet bureau will go on to have one.

It is really singular for stations to be left but a piece of staff. When it does occurnormally on stations that are on the outdoor piece of the Tube network and on top of groundwe prepare for them to be lonesome by an additional piece of staff as shortly as is practical.

The usually alternative choice would be to close them to passengers, denying them entrance to the Tube network when staff are not available, that we do not hold is fit for comparatively short periods. We do close stations that are subterraneous should staffing levels tumble next the smallest required.
