Someone told me today that she is going to be joining a protest at Marylebone station this Bank holiday Monday
Protesting about the rise in tube fares
Apparently she says L.U.L have been asked by the organisers to turn off the power to the track so they can protest on the track
so, is this a wind up or would lul really be that gullible?

They may well have asked LUL to turn off the power.
I would hazard a guess that they were told that that wouldn't happen!
Personally, I think that if they attempted to protest in the station, that they would be asked to leave.

If the power was off, that seems pretty stupid. Not as if they'd be getting anyone's attention by holding anything up.

yeah, like this is actually going to happen, especially given our culture of "health and safety"!

Maybe a silly question, but why Marylebone? The only track I know that is powered through there is the wayside halt that is the Bakerloo line station. Hardly big business is it? I mean it may cause a bit of a delay, but I could think of other locations which would have more of an impact.
Or are they referring to Marylebone national rail, which is neither LU nor has electrified track.
If it really is this organised, I daresay we have little to fear...

What rise in tube fares? Seems a bit late to protesting about the annual fares change back in January.

Well, as long as none of them assume that "asked to turn off current" equates to "have turned off current"... because that could get messy.
