No. I’m entirely with Simster on this. As a long suffering commuter myself, I am sick and tired of listening to one side saying “it’s not my fault it’s yours”. As far as I am concerned the whole idea of management and staff is to provide a service which is fit for purpose. Between the, the...

Yep - don't even bother looking anymore. The only people interested now are the press who telling us the country is being brought to a standstill on strike days. Which it isn't. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And you try listening to us poor sods who have put up with our lives being disrupted every day. I struggle to understand how anyone can take either side in this anymore. They are equally cilpable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd love to earn enough to think that 23.8% payrise was irrelevant.....

Coming out with crap like that you have lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned. If ASLEF advised you to jump in front of a train would you do it? You're all as bad as each other.....

I am not interested in profit. I am interested in having a life. I am not a "pompous suit" just someone who wants go home every night in time. I am currently writing this on a train which is 25 minutes late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you a commuter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't give a flying ****. I just want you lot to get back to bloody work and stop ruining my life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So 488 people have pledged 30 quid each. Righto.....

Do you seriously think that will make any difference? That GTR will just roll over? A "win" as you describe it will just intensify the argument and lead to the whole thing being more bogged down the courts, while us commuters continue to suffer.

I'm a Southern rail user and I'm not taking a stand. I am thoroughly sick of the whole thing and think both are as bad as each other. Don't generalise.......

Yep - no problem getting in at all this morning. So just what is the point of this? Have the RMT got agreement on the qt or is the protest just fizzling out as we all find ways round their striking? As I drove to Barnham station this morning, I noticed a gaggle of guards with RMT badges outside...

Yep that's right - you just go on striking. It's got you a long way so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You don't have to be Brain of Britain to see the RMT have been marginalised here...... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Isn't that exactly what Southern are not prepared to do? Its a very sensible suggestion but doesn't take away the fact that Southern want the ability to run a train with only a driver.

No. I'm not going to back the Union....

Didn't see the "debate" but assume it was just each side ranting at the other and not agreeing about anything. So no progress? I've got an idea. If Her Maj is feeling a bit better, why doesn't she invite Horton, Grayling, Cash and Whelan to the Palace. When they get there she could lock them...

May be true but I would still wager that it's quicker to get to the centre of London on a train from Heathrow or Gatwick on a strike day than the centre of Manhattan from JFK or Newark when things are running normally. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't get me started. The southern franchise is in total meltdown, management and unions at loggerheads, commuters at the end of their tether and he's fart arsing around building a stupid, pointless line between Oxford and Cambridge with some silly quasi-privatisation scheme. Network Rail...

Well - it's Monday and quite cold. How could we possibly expect trains to be running on time today?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
