[Travel] Trains shitshow - next STRIKE - October 8th (Spurs)??

[Is it PotG?]

Is this strike affecting services down here? The one on 1 October is not affecting Southern or Thameslink trains (although there's a replacement service on trains up to London)

Southern employees weren't part of the strike in August either.

It has got to the point where enough is enough. It is a massively logistical exercise now to get to any game and needs meticulous preparation and calendar dates checking. sky, trains etc. How many of the 19 games start of the season stick to the original date 2, 3 ?

This is a national strike, affecting every company.

If you don't like your pay or condition then **** off and find another job. I don't use the train but can imagine it's a massive ball ache for those who do and I can't see many having any sympathy for these twats anymore.

I think they might struggle to get more money elsewhere, 36k for workers and around 60k for drivers? Hardly on the breadline either.

I can see why the Palace game was called off and I guess a few thousand Spurs fans struggling to get away from the Amex could also be a policing nightmare, especially if we beat them

Quite a few of them are local Amex season ticket holders though

Yes an absolute logistical nightmare coming all the way from Lancing l imagine. Do you have to set out the night before?

I’ve bought a ticket for the Citeh game, if there’s a train strike that day I hope I think ‘so be it’

So…what happens when all the people who can drive trains aren’t there anymore? I’m not convinced you’ve thought this through, if I’m honest.

What happens if you put your spurs ticket on the exchange and someone buys it but then the game is postponed?

Do they refund the purchaser and reload it on to the original STH account?

Doubt it. Not exactly the same but last season if you transferred a ticket using ‘sharing’, the original STH couldn’t get it back even if the person it was transferred to couldn’t make the rearranged game. They did have the ‘opportunity’ to buy a new ticket ‘at full matchday price’ though (whilst their ST seat would have been empty).

Club expect this one to be on.
Will look to provide alternative transport arrangements

Or maybe you move to a country where strikes are illegal? Not many options, but North Korea and Qatar are two of them.

What is the last time you can put your ticket on the list? If the rail strike will cause a postponement like palace, hopefully the club will tell us quickly

 

[Official Old Man]

It's on TV so it wont be called off. Difference between the Spurs game and Palace is that there was no car parking for Palace. Club will add an extra P&R and more coaches. No problem.

Fair enough. I’ll put my ticket up!

Southern are sorry to announce that we are sorry not to announce that we are sorry to announce that Southern are sorry.

Yep, that should do it!
