They want triple pay plus a day off in lieu. I don't see why they should be entitled to that, especially considering what the already earn and what they already have.

I think the drivers and unions are at fault. Tube drivers already have what many consider to be an obscenely high salary, and yet they want even more money *and* a day off in lieu if they have to work a bank holiday.
People do complain when prices are put up.

Perhaps you should consider becoming a Tube driver then, Arthur. You'll get a massive salary, loads of holiday, and get to hold London to ransom.

No sympathy from me either.
The sooner the London Underground moves to fully automatic driverless trains the better IMO.
