Decent summary of the union's actions that.
We are being badly let down by the government on this. They've had months intervene and sort this out but they have no interest in doing so and Southern are still being paid the same amount of money to run this service.

Lets say you are spot on (and to be fair I expect you are) so what? Why should people in the now privatised railway industry be immune from redundancy? If my company decide I am surplus to requirements and give me the heave ho then I wouldn't go out of my way to make it bloody awful for the rest of the world during my consultation period.

I trust Southern about as much as I trust the RMT....not one jot. The trouble is neither are prepared to budge and the only winner I can see because of the daft way the franchise is operated is Southern. The continued loser out of it all is the commuter.

Which is why DOO is absolutely essential. FOR THE WHOLE NETWORK

OR the unions need to get their ****ing head out there arse and let the train run anyway if the driver can open the doors.

I'm past caring about the "plight" of the guards. One strike too many. Its not in the interests of passengers. You are a private sector employee mate. Deal with it like I have to and anyone else.

You can't have DOO "FOR THE WHOLE NETWORK" as not all the trains and stations are equipped for DOO. Those's crappy 313's they brought down from London used on East & West coastlines do not have external camera's for the doors, or the equipment in the drivers cab for them to be used as DOO.
