It's amazing how safety has been compromised to deliver the service they want. 6 months ago if I selected and used reverse on my train whilst on the running line I would have found myself at the Job centre. Now if I overshoot a platform they want me to stick it in reverse and pull into the platform. Its all about getting the sevice running as quickly as possible if there is a minor hiccup.
They have changed so many safety rules now that it requires something to go wrong dramatically before they are taken to task by the authorities.
So many things that if you had done 12 months ago would have got you the sack or dipped have now been given the ok.
The thing is I think that so many of the top brass at TFL are chasing gongs for delivering a trouble free service during the Olympics that they have compromised safety.
Only time will tell.
