I am going to try an answer a few questions that have been asked forgive me if I forget a few as there is many.
London underground offer a very good final salary pension which you can top up with additional contributions if you wish which I do as didn't join the company till I was 30. We do have access to occupational health which unfortunately has suffered lots of cuts in the last few years it is mainly used now for medicals and physiotherapy.
The rosters for the night tube that were originally made have been taken down but the main parts were you could do the 2 night shifts Fri sat finishing early Sunday morning then in again 12 hours later for 3 days o f late shifts before rest days.
What I said in my earlier post regarding sat late into early Monday is what happens now.
Due to the introduction drivers would of been forced to work the new rosters to start with unfortunately it would be the newer mainly as they are in a pool roster who don't get there shift allocated to them till Thursday the week before so they cannot forward plan as don't know what shift or what days off they have from week to week and are there to cover what's left to cover due to the likes of annual leave sickness etc. They could be the ones that would of suffered the most.
Training for train operators is a long 4 month journey where you have to learn all about the line so places the trains can reverse all depots and sidings and stock training which includes all the electrical circuits of the train how everything works motors doors and what happens when it breaks down so you can safely cut out certain things to get the train moved out of a tunnel to a station these are regularly tested and refresh training given over a week course. I work on the district line and it wasn't long ago we had 3 stocks to learn and remember which all work differently with different ages of technology. Thankfully down to 2 but most lines only have one. But remembering when I breaks down you could have 1500 people on your train stuck in a hot tunnel and the pressure is on to get it out but thinking that there could be another 5 trains in tunnels stuck behind you in temps of over 100 degrees so the knock on effect is huge.
In saying all this I am proud of what I do and the company I work for I started as station staff and worked at Victoria one of the busiest on the underground combine. I take pride in my work and at busy stations like Earls Court where sometimes the trains are held as a busy junction always stand in my cab door way with the door open to assist if I can. And travel to and from work in my uniform and always stop to answer questions if asked. I know not everyone I work with is the same but customer service is at the for front of what we should be doing. Hope this answers a few of the comments and questions that have been asked
