    RMT Extends Strike Action on Network Rail to Dec 24-27

    Was the inclusion of DOO in the last pay offer t&c’s a new thing or has it been on the table for a while?

    RMT Extends Strike Action on Network Rail to Dec 24-27

    Can you really compare salaries from different companies and different jobs? A Dr is paid more than a nurse, is that morally right or wrong and does a nurse deserve a pay rise but a Dr doesn’t? A train driver is paid more than a guard, is that morally right or wrong and does a guard deserve a...

    Northern ban e-scooters, hoverboards and e-skateboards

    I was pointing out that the railway wouldn’t collapse and the road system wouldn’t be in gridlock because of a mobile phone ban,

    Northern ban e-scooters, hoverboards and e-skateboards

    May I ask where you get your information from regarding the above and your previous statement that if you banned mobile phones on trains and planes then no one would travel?

    Would people continue to use a transport provider that refused the carriage of mobile phones?

    Really? Slight exaggeration don’t you think? 1669829453 So you’re saying that mobiles aren’t banned from planes because no one would fly?

    If the railway banned mobile phones and laptops, would it be near enough empty?

    Really? Slight exaggeration don’t you think?

    Staff member stabbed seven times at Bromley South

    I’m sorry but unless there is a serious, serious mental health problem then no, 99% of people do have a choice. It does seem, to me anyway, that it is very easy to say “it’s not my fault, it’s the way I was brought up”. Most people no matter what has happened in there life, can understand right...

    Northern ban e-scooters, hoverboards and e-skateboards

    All well and good if it’s ‘policed’. Down my way there’s virtually no gate lines and nobody gives a damn!

    Train delayed due to excessive speeding

    Leave it, it’s his baby and somehow he manages to wrangle it in to any thread!

    Mark Harper will be on Laura Kuenssberg's programme today (27/11/2022 BBC1 09:00)

    Why are people talking about the ‘Sunday’s inside’ as one of the reasons for the current disputes? Unless I’m missing something, primarily in the aslef strikes, I haven’t heard absolutely anything about any ‘modernisation’ or t&c’s changes in the pay talks.

    "Over By Christmas"?

    And those who are genuinely ill, like my wife (4 new illnesses within 12 months), have to pay? I get your point though.

    Back to square one. RMT - RDG talks end.

    Because he appears to be having ‘a go’ at the railway only by saying if you want a pay rise then quit. Does the OP think the same for other industries ie if you want a raise, forget and quit? Not hard really!

    Back to square one. RMT - RDG talks end.

    Wow! What about other industries that are taking industrial action, or are they more worthy in your mind?

    Are Class 700’s really that bad?

    I can’t see the point of fitting wi-fi. Where they have it is utterly useless, not fit for purpose at all! SE is even worse, if that’s possible.

    Examples of crew “looking down” on other crew

    I don’t and don’t know anyone else that does. I have however, seen drivers (only a few I might add) from another toc who treat passengers like a hinderance!

    RSSB gendered language: Pilotman now called Pilot

    That is your opinion. I’m not biting ;)

    RSSB gendered language: Pilotman now called Pilot

    It’s not the word, as I said earlier. It’s the use of the word exclusionary which is totally wrong. And that people think it makes the world a better place. You are entitled to your opinion.

    RSSB gendered language: Pilotman now called Pilot

    How the hell is it defining a job as a gender? A gender is a gender and a role is a role! So historically, woman (or those in between!) haven’t applied for jobs with ‘man’ in the title because they thought it was for men only? :rolleyes::rolleyes: Stating males it females only would be...
