#SnifflesSeason

Not enough staff season, that train has already been made a doo service.

Now we will see what SASTA do, probably run off to the courts first

Am I correct in saying this is just what Southern did a while ago and it ended up with Aslef forking out £250,000 in fines?

I think this is why the ballot was suspended this time as they were tipped off that SASTA had found something so this time I doubt SASTA can do so

loads of southern trains cancelled on east coast tonight

If there is a will there is a way.
Thameslink will still be running up to London from Brighton. Do they have enough drivers to run all their trains is a different matter.

Based on this morning, not a hope.

Punctual trains across GTR today 60%. TL Brighton 49% Southern mainline 40% Gatwick Express 63% Coastway 67%. Not even close to being an acceptable service, how they are still running this 'franchise' is beyond me.

Who needs a strike day to run a crap service?

Im sure its a conductor service.

Mind you a couple of times has been no driver.

Does mean another delay repay!

Quite. The strike days are actually now counter-productive IMHO, in that they give GTR a convenient smokescreen to mask their absolute failure to run a proper timetabled rail service.

The right answer. Thameslink will be BUSTING at the seams here

100%

By the way - the 17:40 from London Bridge has been cancelled.

And the 18.10 good luck getting home mate

They weren't earlier, because they had no crew to run any trains. Sympathy sniffles??

 

[jmsc]

No, that was Gatwick Express!

According to national rail the 18:10 IS running

Yeah,Southern have been paid 22m by the taxpayer AKA Network Rail for delays !!! You could'nt make it up.

 

[yxee]

Drivers vote to strike.

Can't let the the conductors get the pay rise all to themselves! Pathetic, pathetic profession. PATHETIC

 

[clapham_gull]

Passenger taken unwell at Balham has screwed Victoria up a bit tonight but appears to be clearing now.

Having to run trains fast through there that usually stop I'd imagine had quite a knock on.

What pay rise? There is nothing about pay in this matter whatsoever. All parties have confirmed that is the case.

 

[wellquickwoody]

No , it's time to settle this once and for all

Echoes of Scargill there EnRest, that didn't end up well for the strikers now did it?
