I miss those elevator captains dont you?

Them **** off back to the US. Your pal Trump needs you.

The feeling of power when you said '3rd floor, please' and the sexy
attendant in his smart uniform told you where to get off.

Only lift attendant I can remember was a one armed ex serviceman. In the
Corps of Commissionaires.


They used to have a lift attendant in the Greenwich foot tunnel at
Island Garden, which was at the end of the DLR. This was even after the
DLR came. Up until about ten years ago I think.

I never liked having my trains cancelled due to lack of staff (i.e.
drivers) and I never saw a train drive perform any useful service apart
from drive, this is even when trains broke down.

The sooner they get rid of drivers the better as far as I'm concerned.
