Lammy said:people do moan about the state of the tube and the buses but everytime I vist London (and I've worked there for 6 months) I found them all to be a real joy! Buses were every 2mins and the tube was a quick and convenient way to get from one side of the city to the other? What do people want? If they want to reduce congestion then they need to stop working in London!
There is NO WAY that you can reduce the congestion on the tube. There are only so many trains you can fit down there you know. One simple way is so walk! Most people who visit London think that everything is miles apart because London is so big! Bollocks. The city centre is actually quite compact and it is often quicker and a lot more pleasent to walk. They should improve the provisions made for commuters with bikes though. The new rolling stock has NONE! Good way to keep people out the tube!
Companies need to let more staff work from home. At least on a part time basis. The job I do doesn't require me to be in an office. As it's only down the road I choose to go there anyway. However, if I were doing the same job in London then I wouldn't. Why do companies all rush off to London rather than base their companies nearer to where the staff live?
It's not a change in the transport we need it's a change in the way we work!
ACTUALLY LAMMY THEY CAN RUN MORE TRAINS UNDERGROUND AND EVEN MORE OVERLAND TRAINS. MANY METRO SYSTEMS IN EUROPE, MOSCOW, JAPAN RUN TRAINS EVERY MINUTE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
THEY USED TO IN LONDON, NOW WE DOWN TO 5 MINUTES FOR THE CIRCLE LINE ETC.
