People at those station stops NEVER learn. It is the same thing when there is train strikes or the Vic line is not running. Logic would be to talk further down the road to at least near Walthamstow Bell where they can get on. It was the same for the 230, it would get swap loaded at Walthamstow Central then would operate a near non stop service all the way to Seven Sisters. The same thing happened on the way back, the smart ones would walk a few stops back down Phillip Lane to ensure they got on board. Indeed, I go out of the way to do that!

There was a glitch on the TfL website there was no service Liverpool Street to Sheffield and Paddington to Heathrow/Reading. 10mins services Paddington to Abbey Wood. There was a Liverpool Street to Shenfield service as I was onboard the service when I posted the message. Services ran until around 17.30pm. Throughout the day the TfL site showed a good service when in fact it was a limited service every 30 mins with Maryland, Forest Gate, Manor Park and Goodmayes stations closed.

Thought number one is that this bloke doesn’t understand simple economics. You can’t fix inflation by shoving everyone’s wages up. It doesn’t work because it will just push prices up even further. He is right that the government needs to cap energy prices and fix inflation but wrong saying to increase wages. Also could do with a fact check on his FTSE 350 figure.

He is right that the government needs to cap energy prices and fix inflation but wrong saying to increase wages. Also could do with a fact check on his FTSE 350 figure. The trouble is worse term and conditions in the UK have been abused since the 2008 banking crisis. When inflation was low, look how many were given zero or below inflation pay rises. If when inflation was low the majority had been given over inflation rises, if just a little, I feel businesses would be justified in asking people to take below inflation pay rises. But they have not been fair to their employees during times of low inflation, so can understand the justification of those seeking inflation rate pay rises. The British Business outlook of screw the employee for every penny they can of last 15 years is coming back to bite them in the ass! Yes, it will have an inflationary effect, but most workers do not feel valued these days. Is it any wonder staff retention is a problem at many places, when the only way to achieve a decent pay rise is to change jobs. Any standard rate tax payer, should get a fair pay rise this year.

Any standard rate tax payer, should get a fair pay rise this year. So you could fully accept inflation rising to satisfy huge pay rises? Bearing in mind that increasing costs to businesses means they either hire less people, through attrition, or they reduce workforces through forced redundancies which only adds more pressure to the state which in turn means further tax rises for those still working in addition to prices rises in household basics, further damaging the economy. Less workers would mean less output or more automation resulting in less quality goods. The reality is that exorbitant pay rises don’t solve inflation and whilst it may sound like a worse case scenario you only have to look back on the last three years to see how something like COVID and the Ukraine war have negatively impacted economies globally. In an ideal world we should get decent pay rises every year but in reality this can’t be done without inflation being resolved first.

In an ideal world we should get decent pay rises every year but in reality this can’t be done without inflation being resolved first. The problem is we are already at the stage of less workers and less output. We have record vacancies because of companies offering rubbish terms to attract potential employees and employees leaving because existing terms are just as bad. Take the airline sector - all those let go during the pandemic were contacted when the airline desperately needed staff during the recent problems yet most didn't want to return and/or had found better jobs elsewhere because of the conditions. So regardless of inflation, if you don't sort that part out, kiss goodbye to any progress
