Do you support ASLEF (train drivers union) strikes?

[TinFoilHat]

Decent turnout on their picket line today. Lots of support.

"This strike action is a malicious act on the Tory party"

What a load of bollocks.

Tories aren't being malicious about cutting drivers pay and conditions that will lead to more safety incidents are they?

Their attacks on the railways are about destroying the unions not improving it for the passengers.

More taxpayers money used to cover the TOC losses despite them admitting in parliament it would have been cheaper to settle the disputes. Says all you need to know about who are the malicious ones in these disputes.

Can't see the problem. Sunak's now at war with any alternative to motoring.

Still support.

A train can’t be late if it’s not scheduled.

'Big relief' as ‘loud and smelly’ trains are withdrawn from York line

TransPennine Express is withdrawing a class of locomotive from a line out of York, after a resident slammed their “disgusting stink and noise”.

www.yorkpress.co.uk

Invested in trains - decided to fuck them off to keep up profits by getting rid of them and flogging their own tickets and expect me and other TOCS to accept them. This overcrowding my trains.

But hey, they'll make a profit!

Looks like the minimum service levels have been shown up to the embarrassment they are.

LNER tried to enforce it so AsLEF announced a 5 day strike on there which cost the company more than not running trains on their strike day. So they withdrew their application.
