This isn't a strike ballot, but one to accept the offer on the table. If they do the RMT may as well pack up and go home.

Isn't result of ASLEF ballot due out soon?

Seems we might be close to a deal with ASLEF again, unless the members reject it again...... A deal is close to being finalised which could end a dispute between Southern and the train drivers' union Aslef. A statement published on Aslef's website said talks had been held between the union...

Only becomes an issue again if ASLEF decide to join in, and they have gone quiet on the whole thing. Really making no difference when RMT strike down here now.

Not yet, that is the international break. Sure it won't be the last though, and I'm sure ASLEF will soon be joining in.

RAIL workers are to launch a fresh wave of strikes in a long-running dispute over and driver-only trains. Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at Southern will walk out on Friday September 1 and Monday September 4. The union accused the company and the Government of pressing...

Aslef said an overtime ban by drivers who have rejected a pay offer is also suspended. The rail firm said it was "delighted on behalf of passengers". Good news for now. Wonder how long it will take them to put the timetable back? Let's see how long this lasts.....

When the overtime ban ends or GTR employ and train loads more drivers.

They should say that rather than pay dispute. "ASLEF will not accept any pay offer that has DOO conditions attached in the current environment". As you say it just makes them look greedy, and will be reported in the media as such. I have some sympathy with drivers, but strikes in this manner 3...

I'm completely confused by all of this now. This action is being called separately from the DOO issue, as per your Union. So you want a payrise, but you won't accept whatever is offered anyway? Why is this separate action needed from the overtime ban already in place?

Yes, and this relates to pay and is nothing to do with DOO. ASLEF: Southern & Gatwick Express pay 13 July 2017 ASLEF members on Southern Railways and Gatwick Express have voted overwhelmingly for strike action in a pay dispute with the company. Yes 514 [61.8%] No 318 [38.2%] Are you...

Yup, my morning train actually ran on time for the first time in a week.

But that was a huge number of trains, all the PDF timetables show the cancelled trains. The journey planner shows scheduled trains, and those trains are not scheduled at the moment. As I said earlier, I have an alert for the 17.02. When it was suspended I got an email to say it wasn't present...

THEY DO!!! If you set up a travel alert they will send you an email to tell you that your train is delayed or cancelled!!!!!! They don't have an email address for every passenger, and don't know which trains they are planning on catching.

They have, but you admitted you didn't bother to look until Monday morning. They list all the services they plan to run here: http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/dispute/travel-advice-for-aslef-industrial-action-on-weekdays

How would you have liked Southern to communicate that the train wasn't running to each commuter? This isn't a new situation, it has been like this for 14 months, and shows no signs of ending. I agree it is rubbish, but blaming a lack of information when it has been issued isn't fair in my...

The journey planner online was updated last Wednesday. I checked and the 07.10 from Moulsecoomb I usually get wasn't showing, the 17.02 from Brighton was also not showing. I assumed this was due to overtime not being worked. On Thursday I set my alarm 15 mins earlier and got the 6.57. I am now...
