Thanks for your kind thoughts denying the travelling public the right to get home to see their loved ones, families and friends.
At this time of year I cannot possibly begin to think how much thought you must have given to all the travellers.
And a Special thanks to BOB CROW a throw back renegade from the 70's who must eventually follow the path of our ARTHUR SCARGILL who did I hear you say? YES correct.

I don't know the ins and outs of the Central Trains/RMT dispute, so I will reserve judgement on it. As for Bob Crow, he was chief among the reasons why I left the RMT for ASLEF.
Prasanna T: The strike on London Underground to which you refer was only one depot on one line, and did not stop all services running. The main dispute on new year's eve 2006 was by RMT STATION STAFF and was over staffing levels, not pay, and had nothing to do with drivers. Even most station staff still turned up for work because they did not agree with the timing. Did you remember to thank them?
I agree that we are well paid, but we deserve every penny of it.

As a rail worker myself I'd just like to say
1/ My company are NOT striking
2/ Strikes over safety issues are the ONLY ones that should happen
3/ Strikes over getting a certain amount don't go down well with the travelling public
4/ Merry Christmas to one and all!

I have been stuck in Birmingham for 10 hours now and trying to get to Scotland to see my family. RMT and Bob Crow could have planned it better.

i think it is wrong for railway workers to strike at a time that it will affect so many personally. it is holding the public to ransom. the worst are the london tube drivers. They are heavily paid , heavily under worked (some lines are fully automatic) and hold millions to ransom....and last year created so much misery becuase one their colleagues didn't stop at a red light and sacked.

Well, seeing as you know absolutely nothing about which you speak, your words are unimportant and I do not hear them. But, the incident does serve to illustrate the importance of these lazy "fu*kers" now, doesn't it?
