Sounds like you need to grow a pair and go on strike yourself rather than whinging about someone else’s lot.

The race to the bottom goes on. Do yourselves a favour, join a union.


Your union consists of your fellow workers, if you’re in it together, the stronger you are. Not by paying a balshevik driving a Bentley.

He probably does 40ish hours a week and is contracted for 52 weeks a year too. The teaching unions are working to get TAs contracted for the whole year rather than just term time aren’t they (Aldi might know)? Maybe worth joining the union to strengthen their position.

Do you wake up at 1am to take a potential killing machine filled with passengers/hazardous goods/important load on a busy network that requires constant concentration for hours on end, no rest facilities and are timed by the minute and punished for every single mistake and minute lost? Do you have to watch as someone who decides to end their own life stands in front of your train as you stare straight at them knowing that it takes up to 2 miles to stop and you can do nothing about it?

I work on the railway and the drivers earn a fantastic wage but my gosh they do deserve it!

£10 an hour? Try working 8 hours in the baking sun picking up litter. For absolutely nothing.

Could a kind fellow Mariner tell me if this train strike will effect me getting the tube from Enfield to Leyton then from Leyton to White Hart Lane Stadium, then from there back to Enfield.
Basically before the fixtures came out I booked a hotel on the 29th in Enfield to go to a concert on the 30th at Tottenham's new ground. When the fixtures came out it couldn't have had worked out any better with the opening game only a tube train drive away.
Many thanks.

I assume that St Pancras/Kings Cross to Stratford International is working normally on 30th July as online booking is available as of this a.m.? Similarly, Tube to Leyton?

Wil be booking  EMR train as they are not striking as I understand it.

Hopefully they'll get round the table and find a resolution to call the strikes off.

Are Town fans still allowed to work in Rail companies?
