INSECT INFESTATION IN DRIVING CABS

INSECT INFESTATION IN DRIVING CABS

Drivers:

There have been a few recently reported incidents of mosquito type insects in Bakerloo driver’s cabs. On a couple of occasion this has resulted in drivers being bitten.

I know that we might all like to trivialise this matter but in some cases these bites can be very sore and in some extreme case very dangerous.

The matter has been raised with the depot staff by management. Unfortunately we are not getting enough information from drivers on this matter. If you are bitten, or notice large numbers of insects in your cab, please record this on the trouble card. Also make a not of the leading car number and text the details over to me.

If we can collate enough data when we just might be able to get depot staff to address the problem.
