What a total bummer! It doesn’t need a million quid to run this – of that I’m quite sure. And it’s not just about being a sponsorship opportunity, it’s about improving the London Underground experience and about it being more a living, breathing part of our lives in London rather than just a transit system.

I hope a solution is found so that we don’t lose this wonderful resource. And if there’s anything we Londoners can do to improve the situation, let us know!

I lost three good years of my life to those bastards. They took me in on a temping job, and then paid me £20,000 a year to sit at a desk and do nothing. How could I leave?
I’ve never seen such laziness, incompetence, wastefulness and technological idiocy.
No – wait – yes, I have: when I temped for the NHS.
“Faxed”. They’re going to Fax rosters to station supervisors. Fax. That says it all. You’re better off busking on the street. Leave those crazy bastards to fuck up their own lives. Don’t let their mediocrity poison yours.
