Personally I have voted no, but many other drivers I’ve spoken to have voted yes as they don’t believe there is any chance of a better deal while the government is pushing this. Copy and pasted from an aslef rep, gives a little more clarity why they are recommending a yes vote. Sadly the...

Normal timetable back by Monday. https://www.facebook.com/meridiantonight/videos/1468775383183529/ Looks like grayling was pressured into a meeting from this mp and the video going viral on social media
