There was an Incident yesterday, at Wallyford.
A lorry on the tracks.
If the rumours doing the rounds of how it was handled by the strike breaking management manning the signal box while the incident was on-going are true
There will serious questions being asked, absolutely terrifying act of stupidly .
Don't supposed the details will be in the open for a while , but keep an eye open for it.

Noel had the current situation sussed, years ago.
Crazy how many people are against the rail strikes, but haven’t said anything about the barristers or BT staff striking. It’s because too many people believe the media bias.
I really hope more strikes happen, we are being shat on from a great height on a daily basis and nobody is sticking up for us, even Labour have a closet Tory leader who has sat and watched it all happen.

Give it time. I remember in the early 2000s, the right wing media (the Mail, Express, Telegraph) managed to write a load of nasty articles about the Fire Brigade striking over terms.
The Fire Brigade. You know, the guys and girls who risk their lives to run into burning buildings to save our arses, for something like £30k a year.
When the RW media have come out against the Fire Brigade, then Junior Doctors, then teachers, now transport staff, you get to understand that they hate working folk, and have nothing but disdain for the ordinary people of this country.

with respect, I have been using a mobility scooter due to health problems for the last 4 years, and cannot praise Merseyrail enough for their help in using their service. Their station staff, cleaners, train operators, deserve more money imo,,this strike isn't about drivers although looking at some of the ill informed comments on here in comparing other workers pay you have fallen for the old trick of divide and conquer which both tory and labour governments have used to keep the working class in check.
@peteblue What happens when negotiations between employers and workers break down? What recourse do the unions have? Put up or be made redundant or sacked? Sure you have experienced this in your career?

I'm employed by a couple of Rail workers as an House Cleaner, they often leave their wage slips round the house for me to tidy away. How the other half live is all I can say

there could be no better, more effective or more productive strike than for as many people as possible to stop buying those rags

But they never will. They're hooked.
Those media outlets perform the function of the Minporn in Orwell's 1984.
