Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Tomorrow's Bus Strike
Allegedly for 24 hours but no information on the BBC News website. Will the service start winding down this evening and will it gradually start up again on Wednesday morning, or is it literally 12 midnight to 12 midnight ?
My friend is a self-employed cleaner who has to work tonight from 10pm -12 midnight: from 8 am-12 noon tomorrow and yet again from 7pm -9 pm tomorrow. She will work on Wednesday ( if there are any buses running yet ) from 8 am. Tube is not an option.
This means, to help her. I will have to take her to work tonight and bring her back again at midnight: take her to work tomorrow and bring her back again ( twice ): and probably have to take her to work on Wednesday morning.
All this, because 16% of the eligible bus workforce voted for strike action.
Their beef is not with me, or any other member of the travelling public but with the management, so why are we being made to suffer ? What do they imagine we can do to improve their conditions and pay ? If the management won't listen to the Unions, will they listen to one hard-working but low-paid cleaner who just needs to get to her job ?

Of course it doesn't - I suggest you look at solar powered bus stops and info on the german language gurgle; https://www.google.com/search?q=solar+haltestellen+info&source=...
Countdown systems are very cheaply available like the blue box type shown here in München:
This tram /bus stop is completely solar powered;

Looks impressive. I'm sure that all the highly skilled and ecologically aware traffic bods on LBH and TfL are researching this as a matter of urgency.

I think there are some at least partially solar powered ones where I work in Kings Cross, and maybe elsewhere.
