[cite]Posted By: Solidgone[/cite]O well, this adds to the challenge of getting from Kilburn to Charlton...Just hope its worth it!

There's no Jubilee Line on Boxing Day anyway, despite Nicholas's blowhardery. Our old pals at Southeastern have decided not to run a train service either.

News to me the Jubilee being closed, and I should know I work on it. Jubilee ARE planning to run a service across the whole line, and North Greenwich is planned to be open (strike permitting).

Here is the Jubilee service plan for the whole week.:
Sun 26th - Whole line open (strike permitting!)
27th & 28th- NO SERVICE (engineering work)
29th & 30th - Whole line open (saturday service)
31st - Whole line open and running a special all-night service.
1st - Whole line open
2nd - Normal Sunday service
3rd - Whole line open, running a Saturday service.

ASLEF should never have signed a bank holiday agreement if they were going to change their mind and cause disruption. I'm a strong union man and I work for the RMT but on this occasion I'd say the drivers are being unreasonable. This thing should have been sorted in the original contract dispute. To be honest I'm surprised they don't get treble time and a day in lieu, if I decided to work Xmas Day, Boxing Day or New Years Day I am.

True Red Army also if they want it changed get round the table and discuss, but to call a strike because its old come on.

They and the RMt tell us we cant break agreements then they do it double standards

I've said this before, but RMT and ASLEF either have the worst negotiators in history or TFL are the most stupid company.

I say that because they strike every year, multiple times per year, so either the negotiators always negotiate crappy deals, thus requiring more striking to get them rectified, or TFL, knowing that strikes are inevitable, repeatedly break the negotiated agreements.

Will drive to work on Boxing Day now (from Sidcup to Hammersmith). As for triple time overtime and a day in lieu all I can say is "I wish".

Just said on the BBC news that a tube strike is definitley ON for Boxing Day :-(

No service to North Greenwich planned on Boxing Day - Jubilee Line to run Wembley Park to Green Park only.

wasn't there planned maintenance on the line and busses were to be running from stratford to north greenwich anyway?

i could be wrong, but i don't think i'd be out of place on this thread though.

The engineering work, and replacement buses, is on the 27th & 28th i'm afraid. Boxing day was planned to be a normal service so no replacement buses.
