Is driving an option? Parking in The Bridge, whilst expensive, means you are master of your own destiny. Otherwise, scarper on (or, shhhhhhhhhh, just before) 90 minutes so you're on the first train outta there.

Clearly it happens, as Ernest confirmed for us just now: He seems to like to make me out as some sort of SASTA apologist, but nothing could be further from the truth. As I've already said, SASTA's lack of communication with the club is contemptible and inexcusable. What I'm interested in...

You think this is wrong: "What is inexcusable is Southern giving the club absolutely no warning of this whatsoever that there was a risk to the services. As the club have said, had they known, then they'd have taken extra contingency measures." Where did I do that? "My take is that both...

Which is the same as pretty much every other rail operator in the UK - something I didn't know before this dispute happened. The industry should not be able to operate in this way, clearly.

I imagine holes in rotas get filled all the time, particularly in this industry where, across the country, rail operators are technically understaffed and rely upon the staff they do have working extra shifts. Those close to this dispute have posted on these very pages about how staff are now...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Southern genuinely felt they could cover the services required but their disgruntled workforce were well aware that by not helping out then a lot of grief would some Southern's way.

Can you outline what the deal is and as I'm not sure many of us know and it would be interesting to understand the details.

Maybe we have. Who knows? I don't think Paul Barber is going to come out and disclose details of the commercial transactions between the two organisations. Regardless, who gives a toss about the money? We just want trains to be able to get to and from games in the reasonable timescales we used...

How do you know how often and when we pay SASTA? Regardless, let's say we can stop paying them. They then stop trains. What then? Who loses out? Not SASTA, that's for sure.

This 'biggest customer' thing doesn't mean a jot though. We may be SASTA's biggest customer but that's only because SASTA primarily function as B2C. The Albion need SASTA far more than SASTA need the Albion. We have no choice but to rely on SASTA for the effectiveness of transport to and from...
