Transport Secretary Chris Grayling insists he's 'not a specialist in rail matters' https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/shameless-transport-secretary-chris-grayling-12972977 Priceless. :lolol:

I echo what pearl said and thank-you and thank-you too for your posts and Ernest during all this - I learned a lot.

I see Mr Grayling is making new friends in Wales - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-40665659#

RMT strike on May 30th - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39939773

This blokes a genius. :lolol:

I thought that as well! :lolol:

ASLEF members have rejected the latest offer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39483106

Very true.

The RMT strike for the day of the Birmingham game has been moved to the 8th of April. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39339782 How considerate of The RMT to strike on Merseyrail the same day as the Grand National though.

Another RMT strike next Wednesday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-38978773

The TUC are happy to host talks without them too. Ouch.

RMT confirm Monday's strike is still on. They're not happy by the sounds of it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38674600 https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-southern-drivers-and-guards-action-remains-on/

Question: We know the ASLEF strikes are off next week come-what-may, if the current talks broke down tomorrow, can we assume ASLEF will re-introduce an overtime ban with immediate effect?

Which was the question I asked yesterday which you answered with:

I assume so too. If ASLEF walk out, then Southern have jumped the gun somewhat. Interesting for the first time on a RMT strike day on Monday that train services will be running for the first time on an RMT strike day, such as between Hastings & Eastbourne.

Southern rail 'full service' to resume http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38663331 http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/southern-set-to-restore-full-rail-service/?hootPostID=a61f55e92c5cc87dbcfadd3017d2ea79

Fair enough, it's what I assumed as well. I just wondered if there was a further timescale period of notice required if the strikes are suspended then reinstated.

So they can go ahead on the dates as planned next week if talks break down?
