Do you support the RMT?

You call it parroting, I call it quoting facts. Are you not allowed to quote facts on here?

The latest vote figures were 63.6% on a 83% turnout, were they not? 53% of members voted to strike then. Is that a big majority?

And none of this has anything to do with Mick Lynch losing the plot today.

Conversely only 30% voted not to strike

Would much rather buy a ticket from a real friendly person than a machine, especially if involves a number of routes. Ticket machines can also be overwhelming for the elderly.

The train companies can afford to man trains and stations, pay staff a decent wage thus providing a better service for the public. They can also afford to reduce ticket prices on top of this and still generate a profit.

Or are people happy to pay extortionate prices for a toss and embarrassing service which puts more money in the pockets of wealthy shareholders?

Even if you know what you're doing, the right ticket might take a dozen keystrokes from a machine, or a dozen words at the ticket office.

Mind you, an old booking clerk has a lot of tales.

Bloke at window: "Return please."
Clerk: "Where to?"
Bloke: "Back here".

Or the Irish bloke who wanted a ticket from Manchester to Taunton. When told it was over £3 (late 60s!) he said "How much?", looked at the ticket, and said, "No, I want Taunton-Cleveleys".
