B@stards.

'm fully supportive of RMT getting a pay rise, but ASLEF will not have my support. I'm more interested in backing low paid teachers and nurses.

Southern drivers not included in this, according to the bbc.

Not for Southern.

Does it affect Falmer?

Drivers at Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry voted by more than 9-1 to go on strike, it was announced on Wednesday.
They will strike on August 13 alongside drivers at Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway, Hull Trains, LNER, London Overground, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains.

Nope.

Bad news for the Toon. No issue for us (unless you’re coming from Thames Valley / north of London / Kent).

 

[Coldeanseagull]

If they don't want to work, sack 'em off. I'm sure we could get a few foreigners from the empire/commonwealth to drive a choo choo

i worry southern will join later - again we are over reliant on the trains

You have to ballot per ToC. There isn’t one for Southern

Don`t Southeastern run the trains that come down from Cambridge/London into Brighton?

No. They are Kent / South East London up to London Bridge

The strike before yesterdays southern were not involved but it still decimated their service on the day and the day after .

That's because it involved network rail staff - not sure that's true of September strikes. Will be problem for toon though.

That wasn't the strike, their normal service looks decimated

If Network Rail walk out then everything comes to a standstill, as they own and run all the infrastructure on the railways, the stations, the track the trains run on etc. etc.

with the rail disruption and total (at least very very heavy) reliance on the train (after all the match ticket includes that, no partial refund if ****ed up anyway thats a separate issue) why doesn't the club apply for a postponement and play the match midweek on a day when the train are not f***ed up? Just a thought.
