Thanks for this. I have not been able to read everything, as time precludes that, and certainly don't pretend to be an expert, in contrast to others. I have often asked inconvenient questions and always get bluster,/you don't use the service/you tory etc ; what unites these sort of replies...

I think you might find that the use of the word "stupid" just as "good" and "bad" are invariably subjective!

Have they? Reading all the comments on here, I would say that there is a curse on all of them. The last two weeks or so have seen a shift, if you are prepared to see it, whereby the RMT are seen as equally as intransigent as the other lot.

Fair enough -my error and I apologise. And as for your second sentence, I think you need to read rather more. . .

Thanks for that - so much better to have a civilised discussion. When my dad left the army, he got a job as a postie, and was appalled at the working practices, which came as quite a shock, after the rigid discipline of the services. You do acknowledge that working practices had to change, and...

What a stupid post. He only talked about acceptable staff behaviour, without going into any detail at all. Hence my comment that it was hard to know what he meant. Your last sentence really says it all - it is the perennial problem of trying to get the politically committed to get off their high...

[/B] Thanks for this and I take you point about being in such a position. That is a very valid point. I am purely asking, as I don't know. With all respect, and I really don't wish to give offence; what you have come up with utterly meaningless; what is acceptable staff behaviour, and what is...

And I apologise for expecting a sage like yourself to spend time with a pleb like me, who clearly does not have your clarity of written expression, or thought processes, and nothing better to do. I just thought that with your perpetual posts on how to run a railway, that, with your expertise on...

[I] assume that they also mean the Bridge - if you go down the Lewes Rd, from the stadium, then park at Mithras house, you have the choice of the bus, or, if you wish, a 35/40 minute walk. I always walk back, and then can drive straight out, and home to Hastings without a problem. By the time...

Again, this makes no sense -if you had a reasonable amount of staff, you would not have the need to "bribe" anyone, as you put it.

How very strange -we have been told all along that it is about safety, and it really seems to be selfish behaviour on the part of staff. So they are so well paid that they do not need overtime, or at least when it suits them, as confirmed by the driver on here a couple of weeks ago. It just does...
