Dear Mr Lewis,
As a result of Transport for London's £10bn investment programme, the volume of engineering and improvement work on the Tube network is increasing.
Should read:
We havent ever invested enough of your hard earned money into this service, and now can't stay open because of it.
This Northern Line weekend closure is becoming such a pain in the arse, 45 mins to get to Tottenham Court Road by bus, and 15 mins by tube :pissedoff:

TBH, it's not directly TFL who's fucking it all up, it's the 3 sub companies who run all the lines, "Tube Lines" being the worse (NL). Even worse than that is failed company Marconi-now called telent-now renamed again-about to get bought again- who can't carry out their contract work on time.

Bueller, I was on the train before it failed on Monday night, over two hours stuck outside H&I, gone 1am when they were led out through the tunnels, the whole network is fucked, and 3 quid per single journey aint going towards helping fund a better service.

Well I think the staff should go on strike.
They haven't done it for a while and it makes the service far more enjoyable.

not forgetting the 7 week standard holiday and double overtime if they work outside their hours no matter what hour of the day or week they work.

Bah...I start work in Southwark again on Monday. The met line can be a right arse in the morning.
Jubilee is normally ok though.
