the metro

[Beaker]

Not long back when the cables got nicked, the news ran a whole segment on it.

It was practically a step by step guide on how and where to steal cable without getting caught/killed.

It was busy at East Boldon this morning

Somebody forgot to maintain the lubrication then?



An improved Metro would simply take more people more reliably out of Sunderland to Newcastle to shop/eat unfortunately.

An improved metro would get me from Newcastle to Sunderland on matchdays and on weekends more reliably

It was noticeably busier this morning. People ditching their cars already.

Revealed: TfL facing £400m budget hole as passengers desert 'rowdy and crowded' Tube

I have started using public transport more since i moved jobs, I haven't been delayed or had a train cancelled on me yet. Tubes appear just as busy to me and I haven't seen any noticeable increase in commuters arguing, assaulting each other or the SMB well documented stabbings which happen to everyone in London everyday.

I think this line

"prompting TfL to ask British Transport Police to reinstate “local policing teams”.

might have an awful lot to do with how the figures are reported.

I just found it amusing in conjunction with your comments on this thread.

Like I have said, I haven't been delayed or had a train cancelled. I can count on one hand the number of times any of my staff have got to work late because of transport and that is usually because they end up dealing with something off duty. Best of all it's free.
Can't really see where any of the amusing part is but each to their own
