I’ve been curious about the increased hostile atmosphere on this platform towards rail workers by some usual right wing media has-beens (e.g. Concrete Mike, Kelvin).
Is it because they have an agenda against unions and easy targets like railways? Yes but there’s more… 1/
A positive note on here…
The human race and the way we innovate and break boundaries never ceases to amaze me

AI seems to be useful at reading and examining data then reproducing it. Pretty much replacing a lot of journalism and opinion pieces like this.
No need for AI, we’ve had automatic trains since the Victoria Line was built long before AI Tom was born.
..putting money into the has-beens or the “critical thinker” and driving up traffic to create ad revenue for President Musk. That’s why this website has been flooded with edgy posts. It creates money.
Using the block feature helps to cut off engagement and monetisation /5

No idea why this narrative keeps being peddled on here but I’ll keep it simple
.. Train Drivers are NOT on strike, this would be ‘Train Managers’ who are in an operation role as a Guard/Conductor
.. It was a below inflation pay increase, see my pinned post for details

It should be pedestrianised like hundreds of other city and town centre in the UK
Buses divert around
Deliver out of peak times
Get rid of the tacky candy shops
In the medium term.. London needs a tram network to replace some bus routes. Like other major cities.
No wonder why the Tories disappeared into no man’s land.
Apparently awarding a pay rise that’s below inflation to transport workers, is the cause of losing Latin lessons in schools.
Despite not being taught in many schools for years before this….

Train company hasn’t got enough staff
Train company can’t convince drivers to give up their days off with friends and family to bail out them out in party season with rammed trains, pissed up passengers
They need to get gov permission to increase overtime rate to get staff in
Those hard done by Train drivers are about to get even more money…

There’s literally a massive red sign in that picture that says “due to overrunning engineering works” causing this disruption at Euston.
But let’s make this a random moan about people not wishing to come into work *on their day off*……
