TRANSPORT workers say they are “sick and tired” of workplace violence as new figures today showed a sharp rise in incidents on London’s commuter networks.

The RMT union called for “real action” as Transport for London data showed that acts of violence on London’s tube, bus and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) systems are soaring.

Assaults on TfL employees shot up from 505 in 2016 to 628 in 2019 — an increase of approximately 25 per cent.
