Every day is fraught with danger. If it isnt boarding a DOO. Which is unsafe then its running the gauntlet with signal failures and broken down trains etc.

Hmm. I must have picked one of those last Saturday after the Fulham game. Got to Brighton station at 19.20 to catch the 19.30 train to Southampton. Now usually this train departs from platform 1 or 2. By the way, no platform info. shown on the destination board.
There, on platform 2, is a train with a station staff member standing next to it. "Is this the Southampton train?" I enquire. "No." came the curt reply. "Well, which platform will the Southampton train be departing from?" I ask. "Dunno, look on the board." came another curt reply. I explained that that information was not being displayed. "Not my problem." came the third curt reply.
So Mr.Curt Reply Person, as far as I'm concerned I'm renaming you Curt, with a minor change - substituting the R with an N. you fully deserve it.

RMT Press Office:RAIL UNION RMT is altering its guards Christmas action dates on Southern following consultation with reps and members.
Regarding the strike action called for 22nd to 24th December, the union is rescinding the instruction to conductor members to take strike action on those days. Members are now instructed to work normally on those days. Instead, we are instructing our members to take strike action by not booking on for any shifts between the hours of 0001 on Monday 19th December and 2359 on Tuesday 20th December. The other actions the union has called, from Tuesday 6th December to Thursday 8th December and from Saturday 31st December to Tuesday 2nd January, remain in force. Mick Cash, RMT General Secretary, said: “Our guards on Southern are in daily contact with passengers and the support for our fight to defend safety remains phenomenal. RMT is truly grateful for the overwhelming public backing for the campaign to keep a second, safety-critical member of staff on Southern trains."It is from that daily feedback from passengers that the union has taken the decision to alter the dates for action over Christmas. That's the difference between us and Southern. We listen, they don't.” Ends.

I can't work out if CASH is on a massive wind up or he is genuinely THICK!

Yeah ok.....that's why they've moved the strike days! Does the union really think the man on the street is now going to go "thank you RMT you have saved Christmas" and start liking them again!?!?

Actually I am in full agreement here. A second safety person is needed. However does it need to be a guard? Whats wrong with a fully trained OBS? Again serious question.
Cause they don't like change.....boo hoo...
Brilliant - so they call a strike that is going to royally stuff people up. Those people will have made alternative arrangements as best they could, very possibly making plans for earlier in the week instead. Now the RMT change their strike dates that affects those dates.
Not only that, those who were looking forward to a nice relaxing "work from home" run in to the long Christmas weekend may now have to schlep into town instead. I'd be FUMING.

I'm totally confused now. I need to get from St Leonards to Gatwick on Monday 19th, does that mean there won't be any trains on that day at all or just a dodgy service?

See this reply clearly sums up you as a union member and the complete contempt for the fare paying public who pay your wages....
This is the very attitude that I don't understand.
