There has been a series of rapes of women in the Walthamstow area. On some local station groups, RMT reps have successfully argued that management should provide door-to-door special taxis for women staff to get home.

The purpose of this forum is to look at the scheduling and performance of staff taxis.

Matters discussed:

1. Christmas taxis - In 2007, there were some minor late runnings but no staff complaints received. System used is fairly successful but couldn’t guarantee bookings made after the cut-off date. Still looking at ways to improve but generally system works. Ongoing.
