[News] Rail Strikes Off!

[Deleted member 37369]

How do 3,000 people go about cancelling their coach tickets?

Seems like some have been asking Seagull Travel for refunds for the Arsenal game and getting a bit 'nasty' when refused.



Obviously wrong if people are being unpleasant ... but this kind of whinging social media message from ST has started to become a theme recently ... certainly since Darren's son took over this side of things.

Its a joke and lets hope Lynch is on tip of Bonfires in an effigy all over the country. Strikes off but go to rail app and they say they cant run the normal service its all propaganda to make this **** look like he is the saviour of Bonfire night

Am I missing something?

Why does Bonfire night need saving?

How does a train strike stop people setting fire to some leaves and branches in their back gardens?

 

[B-right-on]

Looking on National Rail website and it says that there's severe disruption to normal service still.

FFS.

What does that mean? Can we get home on a train or not?

Service will still be as bad as it would have been if the strikes were going ahead. Too late to change the timetables for today/Monday.

Wednesday is what I meant (all I care about ). Would they have time to increase schedule by then?

Oh fair! Seems likely as the timetable hadn't been published for Weds yet.

Crafty move by the union(s). They cancel the strikes but time it so the trains still don't run but they presumably still get paid. Tactics!

 

[Doonhamer7]

nightmare for me as I’m going to gig at Brixton tonight - no trains from Horsham, can get up from 3 bridges but no return, so trying to persuade D7jr not to drink and collect us somewhere in town

Or more accurately the companies sent the letter agreeing to talks on Friday morning and it takes time for discussions to take place with regards to what action to take. Not sure why it took the "companies" six months to agree to proper talks, but sure, blame the workers.

I'm not blaming/criticising them at all. Well apart from there's zero advertised trains from Brighton to Bognor today so I can't meet my daughter on her one Saturday off a month. That's ****ing annoying. But we'll survive. My dad and my brother both worked for the railways all their working lives and were both fully paid-up members of the TSSA. In fact my dad was shop steward of his local branch. I can vouch that he didn't do it for the good of his health. Quite the opposite, in fact

And the train staff will all be Christmas shopping still as its too late to charge their plans

 

[hart's shirt]

£99 to sit on the Lack of Fun Bus tomorrow and they get it sorted JUST too late for me to swap to the train. Grr. Great news for Arsenal goers though (sadly I will be in York but at least I can do that by train unless there's some weather or a suicide or a van hits a bridge or animals on the line or a mysterious staff shortage or rolling stock shortage).

After that result, let's hope you all have some fun on the way back!

I hate coach travel but well worth it to be there for that! What an incredible game

i mean the trains

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

i mean the trains

No. They haven't changed. Because there were no trains back your fare showing was including peak the next day. Now all sorted.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Check before you travel
first train north from Haywards Heath is just before 0730
trains stop running 1900 hrs
Should have said Monday / tomorrow 🫣

but it was originally saying trains back around 22:30

 

[pasty]

WTF? Strikes are off but checking Southern & National Rail websites, it seems I still can't get to work tomorrow?

Checked Horsham -> London from 06:15 tomorrow and it tells me the first train is 07:38 on Tuesday!
