Apparently planning on disrupting Gatwick this morning. Hope they get the same treatment there, but think it unlikely sadly.

they want stuff thats being done to be done more and faster, net zero greenhouse gases by 2025 (and other political guff). because they need a cause to fight, having stuff done isnt enough.
ultimately they want to roll-back industrialisation, impoverishing everyone.

Because you use trains more than you use planes therefore it may impact your life more than someone who is flying?

They hate it every bit as much as you. Probably far more. It's not called the rat race for nothing. It's a dehumanising existence.

But surely they must realise that is completely unfeasible??
So they are just anarchists then.

If they did that on the 18.07 London Bridge to Uckfield there would be murders. 90% of the commuters on that service are already on the verge of going postal. I did it for about a decade and it nearly did me in. I fear for any XR protestors who target that particular service.

That is surely the answer. But to grow their movement they need ordinary moderate people to support them. All the time they are disrupting obviously environmentally unfriendly targets they are winning a lot of support. Attacking an environmentally friendly target sends out a very confusing message, as evidenced by the confusion on this thread
Pretty sure that's not their aim.
Then the question is 'Why do it ?' - I've purposely stayed out of London my whole career on purpose ( bar the odd meeting ) - it's meant less money and less promotion prospects but it's perfectly do'able.

A couple of these protesters get onto the roof of a Falmer bound train blocking the line,
Don't try to get home from London in peak hours with bloody suitcases. You might find it easier to just sit down, have a cup of tea, and wait until off-peak (after 0930). I have been travelling in London on the tube and trains for the past 26 years, and I have NEVER seen a "London c*nt" shove people off the train to get on.
Oh bless, it must be such a chore. They're not going to lay on a bloody red carpet for the nimbys from Sussex.
So have I, although I'm not sure London has missed me.
Jesus Christ - you answered your own question.
Never seen that happen in 25 years commuting. How are you defining a 'london ****' anyway? Someone who lives in Brighton but works at Guys Hospital perhaps?
Commute every day and see what effect it has on you before passing judgement maybe
Working from home is on a massive increase. Apart from the benefits to the individual in terms of quality of life, the cost savings to the firm are enormous. In my company WFH is pretty much mandatory for most people now at least a day a week, often more. For me the commute is only bearable because I don't have to do it every day. No chance I would go back to a 5 day commute. It's ****ing miserable when there is a problem, so to have twats like this lot creating additional, unnecessary and avoidable delays is beyond irritating

I have and i travel most days with the London cyclist c*nts. My missus, who is small and female, has had it done to her a few times too. There's a general mercilessness and intensity to this city, in which i've lived for 25 years or so, and it is heightened on the tube and train especially.
Shhhh …..

Shame they didn't fall onto the live rail for a taste of real extinction.
