Only bit I disagree with. If there is, as TLO says, a handbook that is promoting the poor treatment of the disabled then I think that should be thoroughly investigated and publicised. If it's as he says then that's a disgrace. However.... I think we ALL did didn't we? The unions may have been...

Good luck anyone travelling right now. I had to leave at the crack of birdshit to be in Preston, Lancs at 9.38. The 05.06 and 06.05 were already cancelled due to an "operational incident" (which translates as no drivers that know the Cambridge route yet) and there was a signal issue at Three...

Isn't that 3 deals, negotiated and recommended by ASLEF, that you've not liked, and the last 2 have been rejected by the members? It makes me wonder why you bother being a member at all. Your union clearly sees things differently to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's the beauty of a hung parliament, MPs actually have to listen to people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guarantee it won't be back tomorrow when I need to work late in London to get a release out of the door and therefore miss the 6.18 to LA. It's a shambles around that time. My guess is full timetable back Monday with some residual sniffles and general working to rule.

Strikes suspended http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-40658993

It would have to be given that the people who matter on all three sides don't appear to own a decent brain between them.

I've said exactly this on the ABC Facebook group but my feeling continues to be one of despair at all sides. An ineffective and ideological government controlling an absolutely shambolic private company up against a bolshy, ideology driven union full of members who have been so disenfranchised...

I'm Portslade. The issue is a) will be more problematic still getting to evening games & b) every other bugger going to Brighton will do the same leading to overcrowding, possibly on a massive scale. And you know when Brighton folk make enough noise they'll reinstate them and drop the main line...

THE F***ING C***S HAVE TAKEN ALL THE RUSH HOUR VICTORIA TO BRIGHTON TRAINS OFF THE TIMETABLE. ALL OF THEM. WANKERS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While there has been a lot of discussion about the strike and blame for issues this week this is typical incompetent Southern. I had to work in Canary Wharf yesterday. On Wednesday night I checked to see if the 5.50 from Portslade was running or if the 6,27 would be the first. The 5.50 wasn't on...

So that rather goes against the safety argument. That reads like they're flexing their muscles because they can. I can't see the government or Charlie Horton having that. Makes me think it will be a long dispute that will eventually be settled with more anti-union legislation. That didn't end up...

And here we have the most sensible post on the thread.

All along the unions have said this is about safety. If the majority of passengers start to say "actually I just want my service back, I'll take the risk thanks" then what's your mandate? I agree that this could have been settled a long while ago with the same deal that ScotRail got and that the...

No he's right. The suffering being caused to ordinary businesses and commuters, football fans, kids getting to school and pensioners off to their friends is now entirely disproportionate to the suffering caused by whether someone presses a button or not. SASTA are a disgrace, don't get me wrong...

Apparently there's quite a lot of smoke, mirrors and spin when it comes to the reporting statistics used by the TOCs. Who would have thunk it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37835087

BML2 is an interesting one. There's a compelling case for it every time there's a fatality or emergency engineering works on the single point of failure part of the main line. However, as you say, the work to do it would mess things up for the duration. The absolute balls up made of the London...

Absolutely. My company instituted a work from home policy two years ago due to losing time to travel issues. However, having been based in the far East End and now in Canary Wharf, the staff affected used Southern, South Eastern, C2C, Docklands Lite, London Midland, the tube, the M25 and the...

What did BURNO think of the SASTA situation? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was just after the game. I had 'a few' before, one during and then went to the pub when I got off my lovely, on time, not crowded train :drink: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
