No disrespect to Newcastle, BUT this is The London Underground we are talking about.

Crime is an everyday occurrence, and this will go up - just for example. Pickpockets, sexual offences including rape, serious assaults. Robberies.

I hope the Unions go full leather in an attempt to stop this from happening. You also have to look at the staffing situations on the tube. I work near Hanger Lane, which is a busy station during the day and could get even busier at weekends, as it is a near Wembley Stadium.

I can imagine many women may be scared to use as a means to get home. Yes, we have CCTV, but this will NOT STOP the crime taking place.

No bad move to me. I can see Bob Crow this morning on his soap box, and he WILL defend his members. Yes, everything now is electronic, but to me its a bad decision for Boris and Tfl.
