Yeah I will pay a visit as it looks interesting and staff get free admission to the Transport museum.
They actually gave every member of staff a lovely big book last week commemorating 150 years of the tube. Must admit haven't had a chance to read it yet but will definitely read it in the new year.
Apologies in advance to anybody who wanted to venture into central London on Boxing Day but unfortunately there will be no service worth talking about due to industrial action by ASLEF. I agree with some of the demands being made but for me it's a question of time off not money. If they were deadly serious about resolving the dispute they'd get round the table instead of calling the third Boxing day strike in a row. Unfortunately it's a bad end to a good year for the Tube in terms of Industrial relations and all the good press we got for our efforts during the Olympics.
