[News] Train strikes ahead

[nordicgod]

Going to be a fun day - I need to be in London, so will have to find a way, then somehow get back to be at this game as well.

Thameslink will be running that day , just be really busy with nothing along east and west coast lines though

 

[Guinness Boy]

At least there's buses running this time

I think there was a train strike for Spurs at home last season. IIRC the club put on a shuttle bus service from the Old Steine. The 700 should be running coastway west and the 12 from Seaford. Whether all of that can cope with the additional capacity on an evening where there's bound to be a few office Xmas dos is anyone's guess.

Defo been picked by ASLEF to f*** up this game. They've lost the last shred of my support and I'm hardly a Tory.

I was looking for an excuse to work at home on the Thursday after the Brentford game and will now use “rail displacement”

 

[Is it PotG?]

We want Pyecombe P&R, We want Pyecombe P&R.......

Will be Action Short of Strike so I'm not sure there will be many Thameslinks.

On a slightly more positive note, I think RMT will settle in this vote. Where this ASLEF one ends is anyone's guess, last union left.

Good spot.

That settles it for me then. A simple equation: Evening game + no trains = barstool + beerage + pork scratchings. And no, I do not plan on doing any LUZZING if we score.

Have these rail strikes achieved anything for the strikers? Thought not.

For some unions yes, I got a pay increase and improved terms and conditions.

Yes. They've achieved quite a lot.

They'd have been achieved a lot quicker if the Government didn't keep interfering with the rail companies' negotiations.

Well, they still have my full support, even if it does nause up my travel plans.

This is 100% the fault of the Government and the rail companies. They could have settled this months ago. They chose not to.

The Government can end this tomorrow if they wanted to.

And how long will it take you to make up for what you lost on strike days?

I've already made it back and the payrise got back dated, for the TSSA.

Lol much egg on faces on page one. Amusing

I'm sure they could.

Why does the RMT strike look like it's coming to an end - whilst the ASLEF strike doesn't?

RMT have been offered a decent deal, which is being voted on, to my knowledge ASLEF have not.

Those who work in the ticket offices haven't been made redundant and the public still have access to human beings.
