Jubilee South branch has unanimously passed a motion to highlight the shocking action of the BTP in arresting a tube worker who was assaulted and racially abused by a member of the public.
The company rightly recognised that no wrong doing had been done by the member of staff which is unusual as we know from experience that LU bosses do have a long history of disciplining victims of assault, including another case which is currently ongoing. This makes it all the more perplexing why the BTP would try to pursue a case.

Currently, our trains are “prepped” (i.e., have basic safety checks performed) every 24 hours. LU now wants to extend that schedule to every 96 hours, or even more.
On some lines their proposals suggest that trains will only be fully prepped every 82 days.
