Derby day trains

Both the company and the staff are to blame IMO. Privatisation has been a total mess for the railways but the inflexibility of the unions has its own share of the blame.
The unions have prevented privatisation killing passengers.

Theres shit they've tried to pull that I have witnessed over the years, (including last week) that if it wasn't for strong reps and activists it wouldn't be nowhere near as safe.
 
Imagine supermarkets not opening because they haven't got enough staff or say schools and doctors surgeries?

Sunday services are shit because the workers don't have to work overtime because they get paid enough not to, they are not "Compelled" to. You work in an industry at least show some effort to provide a service, people complaining isn't the problem is it?
Overtime is not compulsory!
Work life balance is important to people these days.
The guards will be working a full week before deciding they don't want or need to work a rest day.

Why the fuck should they cover because their Company hasn't employed enough staff, would you do it?

Trouble is, I don't trust the current politicians to sort this mess out, or any other mess come to think of it!

They don't have to work because they are paid enough and don't feel the need to. Fuck the commuters ehh? is that how it is?

Now don't get me wrong I couldn't give that much of a fuck but...if trains are going to be cancelled as they have for a couple of years we should invest heavily in a bus service that works and put the shysters out of a job.

Again let me make this very clear, these fucks want a supermarket open when they need it, they want schools open without cancellations and they want all the other amenities open when they need them.

It's not just Sundays it's most days, lots of people work overtime and thank god they do, the public is running out of sympathy for them and it's about time.

But apart from that :)

It's a completely different situation though.

Supermarkets won't be running Sunday opening hours with staff on overtime, that is what the railways do.

The government, railway companies and Unions have had over 20 years to sort this mess out and we are literally no nearer to a solution.

Staff working overtime to run a basic service is an horrendous waste of money.

They could roster people in to work on Sundays though, they manage to do it in every other public service. You've got to admit there has been excuse after excuse with the trains even on week days.

The people trying to travel get the brunt of this, my point very much still stands all the other services I mentioned manage to keep the lights on.
