Automate the London Underground network

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The London Underground network has clearly demonstrated a total lack of willingness to engage in meaningful discussions regarding pay. Rejecting a £200-per-shift bonus, on top of a £49,673 a year salary is the clearest indicator yet that the Unions - and Drivers - are getting totally out of control.

Their behaviour has, unfortunately, been their undoing. London has had enough and it's time that the tube service is held to account for it's disgraceful handling of these pay related discussions.

This is not a ground breaking proposal; the DLR, Central Line, Victoria Line, Jubilee Line and Northern Line are already in varying states of automation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The London Underground system is operated by Transport for London, which is the responsibility of the Mayor of London, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You may wish to submit a petition to the London Assembly calling for a response from the Mayor of London. Details of how to do this are available here:
