Kin 'ell mate, you're turning full Wolfie recently. Great to see.I’m in the camp that says only a full on winter of discontent can get rid of the cunts running our nation and bring about much needed change.
One out, all out!
It's free anywhere for students in the Netherlands on any train.That’s been around a long time. Scotrail is now under public ownership, I believe, and NS, the Dutch rail provider, has its own problems, with strikes across the country. That said ticket prices do tend to be far more reasonable in the Netherlands, and that in turn encourages people to travel more and spread their money around the country.
Yes, students can choose to travel for free during weekdays or to travel for free at the weekends, and they can also travel more cheaply on Eurostar and Thalys, buses too. Even ‘normal’ people can buy an annual discount card (~70€) and travel off-peak, weekends, and summer months at 40% off. There’s no marked difference between 1st and 2nd class services and buffet services are practically non-existent, but when the distances to travel are relatively short, such services carry less significance.#

Saves them a lot of money as most live at home in a small country.
Any sign of a breakthrough?Lots of public support again today.
Enjoying sharing the line with TSSA and hopefully AsLEF shortly.
