Passengers must travel to end of the line to Meet the Manager

Transport for London says it wants to hear what you have to say about its tram network and the service it provides.

End of the line: TfL is staging a ‘Meet the Manager’ session at Wimbledon next week

Given the recent record of urgent engineering closures and a power cut at its Therapia Lane depot last month, it could make for an interesting dialogue.

The event, though, is not being staged in Croydon, or New Addington, which has suffered more than its fair share of tram non-service in recent times. The event is taking place next week at the other end of the line, at Wimbledon Station.

TfL’s “Meet the Manager session” is to be held next Thursday, October 16 from 4pm to 6pm (so hardly convenient for many people who have to work for a living) at Wimbledon’s tram stop (Platform 10) “for your chance to speak directly to representatives of London Trams”, they say.

“We look forward to seeing you there.”

    You can’t please everyone, but I think that time is generally ‘rush hour’ when people may be commuting to or from Wimbledon and passing through anyway?

    We obviously hope that TFL will repeat the exercise at our end of the line!

    unsurprisingly really. You could pluck this management team from the seventies. Incompetence is too kind a word. Couple of weeks back I was on a packed tram that was stuck for 20 mins and the driver didn’t even have the courtesy to inform passengers what was happening. Not to mention all the downtime. Needs a replacement of the whole top of the organisation but never going to happen in this monopolised transport system.
