Take the to a station and they will give you cash for them.

I'm sure I remember that during the consultation period the West coast line to LB was promised extra trains not less. The Consultation is only worth anything if it isn't based upon lies. Re the Brighton services - it's clear what they are trying to do, and the new timetable rams this down...

There is going to be carnage on Monday. The commuter route I take to London (Littlehampton to London Bridge) has been changed quite radically, with n hour between trains in the morning and more worryingly, the current (always rammed) 3 direct trains fromLB to LA trains have been reduced to 2...

If they reject the offer then I assume they may call for a strike though?

Now an ALSEF strike would be much more effective.

Because you haven't had to, or chose not to?

As Arthur says the trains generally run perfectly (better?) in strike days... fewer trains but better.

I would assume the delay repay page is one you use regularly and frequently.

But surely, the previous ballot was close, so it could go the other way?

The alternative is they have the wrong members, which is a bit mental :)

Isn't that the exact same % split as Brexit?

I got a letter on Monday.

Well exactly, they negotiate to a position where the balance of members' opinion switches sufficiently. It will be interesting to see how that goes - now we have a baseline, surely any move towards to RMT position will see a general swing from No to Yes in any subsequent ballot. It's only a...

I think Southern make a small profit if one at all. GTR make a big profit, but not from Southern.

It's hardly been shown as waving the white flag with such a close vote, surely? Sounds pretty close to a doable deal.

Is 54 / 46 solidarity?

And a 72% turnout.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/feb/16/southern-rail-users-face-more-strikes-as-drivers-reject-aslef-backed-deal 54% to 46% - quite close. I'd suggest that doesn't give them a mandate to resume driver strikes.
