Has anyone lost on there lost their job because of southern? The situation is beyond the joke now

Not personally but I do think there will be certain people who will be thinking of resigning from their jobs because of it.

This to me is the most alarmingly irresponsible development of all. To hand over responsibility for the tracks to the privatised TOCs, with all the inevitable corner cuttings on cost and sub-contracting ever downwards to the cheapest bidder will make the railways infinitely more dangerous than they are at present. Can't believe this to be allowed to happen. It's literally gambling with people's lives. Shocking.

Absolutely. Sadly we all know the nasty party will probably get another 5 years and steamroller this through.

Had similar a couple of years ago. A few people couldn't get to the office due to a snowflake stopping all Southern trains. I could WFH but those that couldn't were forced to take holiday/unpaid leave :nono:

Same as. I have pretty much been given carte blanche to WFH now whenever there is a strike or even a possibility of trains screwing up.

This.

Have been up to now but the drivers are no longer working overtime from today and judging by this mornings travel , things are getting a whole lot worse !!

Truth is , we don't know how it will be from now but it isn't going to be pretty.

Did anybody go up on the 6:30 or 6:40 GE this morning? Did they run ok-ish ?

On the Btn to London the conductors strike is MEH

The divers on the other hand is where the carnage will come.
