thanks, the unions could help themselves by making these and others more known to the public.

RMT have their dossier, but haven't made it very widely known publically. that would highlight those accidents occuring with guards on the train, and that their members have been involved in some accidents.

You really believe that?

Charles Horton couldn't say that on Monday night when challenged by the RMT rep. He stuttered and stammered and mumbled something like the 'majority of trains'.
The audience knew he was making it up by their response.

Hahahaha! I've read it all now! Driver got out to say he was not trained to help her. Not trained to lift a piece of metal sheeting over to the door and give her a push up the ramp? He could have easily helped her but he's got a very good reason not to help hasn't he.
The driver is squarely at fault here. Dispicable to leave someone in a wheelchair on the platform for two hours just to point score.

you are an f-ing ****

Agree with you at last

So a reasonable debate has descended to a couple of posters "hilariously" editing my posts to point score. How crass. Especially coming from you old boy, a poster who actually starts spoof trolling threads on a weekly basis.

The public have had enough of Unions, of the govt stance and of Southern. Unions seem to view themselves as somehow exempt from blame. They are all part of the same spectacular nonsense of a company.

I have nothing more to add. Please enjoy spending your retirement editing this post , thus transforming it into something hilarious.

He said, (and it is also stated in the Southern statement made some months back) that "every train that currently has a guard, will have an OBS" Of course, that was difficult to hear because loud mouth Cash kept interrupting every single time Horton tried to speak.

Nothing more to add at last. Better to give up early when you're clueless.

Thank you for your feedback however, I'm afraid I'm not trained to respond to that.

I watched it and Cash didn't interrupt the statement that I have posted. He did put him on the spot and that was his reply. If anything the BBC presenter didn't give Cash enough time to state his case even though she told him off for interrupting Horton. It wasn't a fair debate imo.

If he's telling the truth then it kind of blows people's concerns out of the water. From what I've seen, this is about Guards (understandably) fighting for their jobs against a company that wants them out and replaced with cheaper OBS's. It's going to happen, the change will come. Of course the people losing out will kick up a fuss, I probably would but the change will come and in a few years it will be looked upon as a load of fuss over nothing and the new system will be up and running and working just fine. I saw a documentary about the decline of steam locomotives and distraught firemen and stokers getting upset they were being phased out. A rough time, now forgotten. This'll be the same.
