No Southern Trains Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday

[LamieRobertson]

Let's guide you through an audit trail of your confusion. You posted:



Implying your wife is part of a vulnerable sector of society (women) who would be discriminated against if placed in a position of fear by the train company by not providing a guard. You were quite outspoken about your demands.



You then adopt a totally different tone about the potential predicament of the disabled, another vulnerable sector of society. Contradictory or what? Both your wife and a disabled person would be discriminated against, one being placed in fear the other being denied the rights of an able bodied person.

Yoda then posted:



Pointing out that it is discriminatory to deny access to the disabled. To which you replied:



So you can't seem to comprehend that both situations are discrimination. Is it because you have no personal connection or empathy with a disabled person whereas you do with your wife?

And then you went on to post:



So you introduced an extreme scenario at the top of the world, presumably in an attempt to justify your laissez faire attitude to the disabled. It's obvious that when anti-discrimination laws were introduced there would always be exceptions. So it is that a disabled person may be able to board a train unassisted or a boxing champion may feel totally safe when she travels on a train without a guard late at night however, your climbing Everest conjecture is patently off the scale. I know you have a problem with discrimination but the exceptions to the rule don't obviate the need to ensure that the vulnerable are empowered rather than being disadvantaged. It's what a decent society does.

Well argued

In the interests of Bozza's hosting fees for NSC, maybe we should just have threads when Southern ARE running trains?

Will any trains run at all on Friday London to Brighton ?

Yes Thameslink Services.

Yes Thameslink Services.

Even with the Train drivers being on strike? Or are they back now ?

The guard and driver strikes only effect Southern services, Thameslink services on the main line between Brighton and London will still be running.

Excellent. Thanks for that
