I know i'm quite "lucky" being on the London line but personally there is an element of truth to this. I dont hang around any longer than necessary these days so social occasions and gigs etc are avoided by me simply because after about 8pm all bets are off. Never was like that. Been doing...

On the other hand I generally get 4.40 a time. Not a lot. Indeed my ex used to say why are you bothering. Well when you get 32 of them and that s £144.00 that s why. Thats not including the others. Lobve it when a tenner turns up. £560.00 so far this year. Worth the "hassle" but then I am an...

Anyway with the new 15 min delay rules I'm going to be RAKING it in. Any increase in fares I will be getting back TENFOLD :rubshands:

Hear it? Its there in black and white! 1.8% for regulated fares (that's season tickets)

Sadly the Unions don't see that. A couple of the lefties on here wont see the wood for the trees on this...but its true.

Apparantly Southern are penalised financilally "in other ways" Really? REALLY??

Not just you mate. ALL of us.

No because he is still laying the blame at the door of the unions and the unions have not helped themselves here one bit frankly even tho it is a just and noble cause. The unions need to push back with not going on strike so people can see how shit it is and carry on.

To be fair sussex had been woefully underinvested for years. It seems its a square peg round hole situation. SASTA want DOO or the DfT do or whoever. Thats fine. It really is. Thats progress. Sadly alot of these stations (unlike the London to Brighton line) are not DOO ready (to paraphrase Paul...

I suppose its because SASTA are in effect getting legal cover for "free"

Believe...not fact then...I have my suspicions that the guards can see that the job they do wont be the job they have to do in the future. Hence striking and its not about safety when SASTA are saying they will be safety compliant?

Agree 100% how Dick CASH COW can say overwhelming public support. **** off you deluded ****.

Because they can still run a service without a guard and as a few have said on here ironically the service is better (Btn - London)

Im sure it was but that would be a handful at best.

Right so the OBS wont in effect be safety trained and thats the problem.

That surely is a good thing? So drivers aside an OBS will be fully trained safety wide and can open the doors so to speak. So what is the problem? Again it seems that now its become an us v them because of that bellend saying "smash the unions". Meanwhile people like me and even other frontline...

Its ok its BANTER I dont know Ernest personally but thats tongue in cheek.

Thanks. But isnt it also the fact that the OBS will in effect have a different role to a guard and I know it goes beyond "who opens the doors". Do thameslink have an OBS? Again I understand that on branch lines the tech for DOO just isnt there.

Any mention of that lot gets them twitching which is quite strange as its a BHA board and they are our rivals. Why they are not posting wonky warehouse and seaweed stuff on BBS is beyond me :shrug:

Actually I am in full agreement here. A second safety person is needed. However does it need to be a guard? Whats wrong with a fully trained OBS? Again serious question.
