I for one WOULD NOT be a tube driver, no matter what they get paid, can you imagine sitting there for 8 hours, driving a tube train, and then bang someone jumps in front of you, train crashes etc.

What people don't realise, anything can happen in a tunnel, I know its a well paid job and l have done a few, but one thing for certain l would not be and that is driving trains.

There is already an agreement in place.

LU said Tube workers already "earn a premium" for working on Boxing Day.
A spokesman said an agreement in 1992 specified drivers would earn about £44,500, work a 35-hour week and have 43 days' leave.
As part of the agreement, tube drivers have to work some public holidays, including Boxing Day.

"LU has a long-standing agreement with all of its trade unions which cover staff working arrangements on bank holidays, and Boxing Day is included in that agreement."
