You've fallen for the lies. The strike days are coinciding with engineering works so there won't be many trains in any case.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

I'm sorry to say it, but reading NSC at times I can't help but give a wry smile at some of the posters on here moaning about the cost of living, heating their homes, fuel costs, mortgages etc etc one minute, and then repeating the current Johnson cabal lines the next. I have spent many hours trying to explain, but there are days when bemused bystander is the best I can do
Imagine not being fully behind the unions in all of this. Christ.
how are they going to keep their jobs when the people that use them don’t have any disposable income?

As I have posted previously, the Transport Secretary scuppered the meeting where the rail companies had an offer and the RMT wanted to negotiate it. Why is the government trying to perpetuate the myth that union members are being greedy?

How about driverless trains with guards instead?
Was there engineering works yesterday?

Are you implying that thousands of retail and catering staff are being made redundant solely because of lost revenue from 4 strike days?
Your evidence for this please.

Don’t believe the government who say there is no money to pay rail workers.
Avanti West Coast have been under performing but the government has awarded them £6.5Million in bonuses. This is tax payers money, given to the bosses in bonuses. There are staff shortages but the bosses are raking it in, from us, the taxpayers.

Avanti West Coast rewarded with £6.5m in bonuses
The train company received bonuses last year, but has been criticised for poor service this year.

Derisory offer rejected by Lynch
Fair play to Lynch he's played a blinder again, I think the government will have to nearly double their current 9% pay offer and take out the reforms they have planned to stave off further strikes.

18%?
That will help with inflation. Especially as it would set a precedent.
Is it PotG?

Yay, get inflation into the 20%s.
That was one of his wind-up posts, to draw people in.

I think the unions will settle at 12% FWIW as long as the reforms are taken off the table.

Wrong account again, Crodo!
Here I’ll do it for you:
I think it would be marvellous if the hero-among-men Michael Lynch were to accept a suitably agreeable negotiated offer. That said, all sides involved are doing a terrific job under very difficult circumstances and for this they must be praised.
