I would never drive a tube train, they do deserve there pay, and do deserve extra money for working longer hours during the games.

Not at the moment, but they could, and probably will over the next few years.
Why should a tube driver get paid more than 50% more than someone who risks their life to save others, and have to deal with the carnage if there is a derailment?
There are many people who work in the public sector will have to do far more work during the olympics, but will get no more money, have had a pay freeze for three years, and are due a pay cut due to extra pensions contributions.
