Decent agreements??? Holding the city to ransom more like, guaranteed they'll find a ludicrous excuse to ignore the 'no strike' arrangements just before the Olympics to try and get an even bigger payout.

As for being a tube driver? Damn right I would. Almost doubling my pay, not having to put my life on the line attending calls and pressing a button to go forwards and another to stop without having to worry about changing lanes or traffic merging.

Being a lorry or bus driver is far more taxing and dangerous that a train driver, people might end up under the wheels but that can happen with any form of transport.
