people working on the tube. enquiry
« on: Saturday 30 March 24 11:15 GMT (UK) »
is there any site, please, for people who work or worked on the tube....I had a relative who worked there and he told me some anecdotes and I want to see if. I can find out if they were true....I don't need names, I'm just interested to know if certain things are true..nothing mind blowing but. just interesting or amusing....not. going back very far.....the early. 1980s.

thanks

London Transport Museum has this document.
I’ve not read through it

This website has members who work for London Underground (or whatever it is properly called today) and some of them may be able to help you find the answer.

thank you both....its nothing scandalous, but it does throw a light on working conditions and attitudes...its just general stuff...no specific individuals involved
