Most liked posts in thread: Train Strikes Doncaster 30/7/2022+Hartlepool(A) 20/8/2022

To be fair, the main protagonists of the strike are the network rail workers not the drivers

 

A driverless train which also has no conductors is one that doesn’t strike.

 

It will in the modern day and age. If it works in Italy, Germany, France it can be made to work here

 

I blame the union barons (whatever that means).

 

The strike on 30th July doesn't include Northern Rail at the moment, the most likely to be impacted is anyone that uses LNER so it will reduce the options for Doncaster fans coming up for the match.

 

I assume, based on your reply, you have experience in the field. At 62mph, as a basis, is irrelevant in the modern world.

That would drive more and more to the car, driving emissions, isolating those with a lesser disposable income.

I do wonder how a network, that has been woefully under funded in terms of infrastructure, is supposed to reform exponentially to a world of driverless trains and no conductors?

 

Bloody hell!....A thousand back seat drivers, no wonder they want more money!!

 

or they get paid enough already. i for one do not stand with the strikers...

also donny fans can use grand Central that goes directly from Doncaster to Bradford

 

Isn't that the same at the top of most industry ? I'm no rampant socialist, but it's time that the industries that affect everyone, like Utilities, Rail Co, Bus Co etc were re-nationalised and prices set by the Govt rather than fat cats whose sole aim is to earn money for themselves & shareholders.

That said, train drivers earn £60k to £70k per year, I have customers who work for Network rail earning in excess of £60k per annum. Hardly grounds for my heart to bleed on how inflation is affecting them.

 

I wish Tony…..The best job on the Railway when I worked there. Driver manager!
I was Station Manager…..(12 stations) and on a pauper’s wage in comparison

 

Thats basically how I think in a nutshell, spot on

 

^^^^^^^^^100%

 

I agree with this. Why should Singapore Investment Company own 26% of Yorkshire Water.

 

No a daunting job isn’t pressing a brake and accelerator for 60 grand a year. To me a daunting job is the brave men and women fighting over the years sacrificing their lives in wars so we can have a debate like this now.

 

Bar stewards

 

Train companies should run replacement buses......

 

actually it won't affect us

 

And what about exiles that travel by train!

 

Did they target the first week of the football calendar? W@nkers.

Let's hope clubs are reactive and put coaches on for all those wanting to go to away games.
