Do you support the RMT?

How novel - it goes tits up and someone at the top accepts responsibility and resigns. Can't see it catching on though.

It didnt help that her boss, the Network Rail MD Andrew Haines, was on one of the trains that got caught up in the delays that day. Jumped before pushed springs to mind
 
Similar to pilots really. The planes do all the work…

You pay these people for the moments where things go wrong.

Correct. Although pilots are chronically underpaid compared to train drivers when considering the levels of training, costs of training, and levels of responbsibility when things do go wrong. Esepcially the wages at the budget airlines. Long haul not so much, especially in the middle east.
Being on the ground in machine that does all the work is by far preferable to being in a pressurised flying tube thousands of feet in the air when something goes wrong...

The machine does not do all the work. A popular misconception. Any fuckwit can make it go, but it takes a shit ton of training to know how, when and where to stop the bastard. But I will admit that when things do go wrong, we have considerably less distance to plummet.
