Here we go again. No service no service no service

Oh, we're running a service.
What do you mean DOO? DOO is not a technology.
Well you clearly won't believe me but for this driver it very definitely IS about safety alongside passenger security and the other issues that have been mentioned. Fine if you don't agree and want DOO - that's your prerogative, and you can argue that I'm wrong to say it is safer, but I can hand on heart say this is, for me, predominantly a safety issue.
Guards have been advised to sign up because if they didn't they would lose their jobs in 12 weeks and the RMT obviously have to make sure their members retain their jobs even if worst case their roles do change. Aslef are inching closer and closer (within the legal constraints) to getting the drivers involved (as they have been trying to do since the start of this dispute).

Lucky you. West Coastway this morning, 20 ****ing minutes late!
2 trains every 30 minutes and they can't get that right.
Can't be blamed on guards being on a late running service as they are on strike and only the 3rd train of the day.

In which case why aren't Thameslink/Gatwick Express/London Underground/etc etc drivers downing tools due to the dangerous position they are putting themselves in on a daily basis?

FFS, here we go again. Thameslink & GE are part of the ASLEF ballot, LU have platform dispatch staff.

So Thameslink and Gatwick Express has all of sudden become unsafe?? Righto! If it's unsafe then all RMT members across the country should go on strike.
No platform staff at East Acton when I commuted from there. Can't ever recall seeing one at Shepherds Bush Market if I went that way either. I expect that to be the case at plenty of the underground stations.

The point remains. Thameslink trains are driver only and are therefore inherently dangerous. Why have we seen or heard nothing from the Thameslink drivers before this dispute regarding the peril that passengers, myself included, put themselves through every day? Why are these trains even allowed to run if they are dangerous? Why aren't there daily injuries or fatalities given how dangerous it is in not having a guard?

Aslef are proposing to ballot on extending DOO correct, not action on the existing DOO?

Because of the silly rule. Do keep up its beem mentioned numerous times. "Southern" want to run without a guard in exeptional circumstances. Your brothers are having none of it.
