Southern Rail STRIKE details

[Behind Enemy Lines]

That's not exactly breaking news,the torys will only ever be happy when the working classes are all working for Sports direct and asking for a day off to give birth.

I think to hear someone publicly admit it though is surprising. Hence the post.

I don't think he meant to, his name BLUNT adequately sums up his mental ability , he got owned by Mick Lynch

We will be sitting doing f*** all. Honestly - that's how useless this lot are.

****ing unbelievable.....really is.

I sort of wonder what happens if everyone turns up at Brighton station and demands to go to Falmer? The club said it's something like 12,000 people coming via train I think. Of course some come from the East, but say 8,000 come from Brighton. It'd be lovely to see Southern's response, but I doubt they'd even give a shit.

I would imagine they would close down the station then tell everyone it was on police orders

How come the strike timetable ran without any cancelled trains ? But the revised timetable was full of cancellations ?

They refused to open the station for the Fat Boy Slim concert so SASTA had previous form for this, it's up to Barber to earn his 600k and force the issue so it's sorted for next week

That's a cheap shot Ernest ! You can't put the onus on the football club to put things right !

As I work for VT East Coast its worth pointing out that the Taxpayer is getting far more money from Virgin in premiums than East Coast made in profit. We have also invested over £21 million in rolling stock refurbishment, brought in free wifi, better catering, upgraded all station lounges, and introduced on board entertainment all on trains that have two years left until the new Azumas come in. That would have NEVER happened under Govt control but hey ho lets all buy into the fabricated RMT driven fantasy that nationalisation would be great.

Currently the RMT are trying to prevent ant train company from making any change. In the case of VT despite being promised that nobody will lose their job unless they want redundancy and nobody will be paid less than they are today.

We WILL run a full service regardless of any strike.

Your wifi NEVER works.

Your wifi NEVER works.

Think you might have our East Coast services mistaken for our West Coast pendolinos? I'll wager you £1k that I could take you on any of our trains and you'd be able to browse anything other than video streaming pretty well between London and Edinburgh.

It's almost as if the mysterious illness was taken out of the equation, right?

I traveled from Preston to Euston (11.58) on Monday this week and the wifi never worked the whole way down, was pretty pissed off about it to be honest and had to make do with my own 3G which cut out many times .
I claim my £1000 !

 

[Frutos]

I have travelled fairly regularly on East Coast between Kings Cross and Newcastle over the last few years and can confirm that I have found the WiFi to work perfectly well whenever I've needed it.

I maybe wrong but that is not EAST COAST

You utter *** that's West Coast.

Oh
Still VT though.
So the service is discriminative against west coast travelers.

Thank you. Exactly as I said. And now free to anyone who books direct.

 

[Garage_Doors]

You utter div that's West Coast.

So west coast VT travelers get a worst service than East coast travelers ?

What is a "div" do i take its a childish word that means to be disrespectful?

No geographically challenged [emoji6]. The fact is that west coast don't have the length of franchise left to justify the investment required to get wifi working well. Will be much better post next bid.

Or southern do not have enough staff to even run an emergency timetable but do have enough scabs to run a strike timetable.
