  1. >The transport secretary did have more to say on changing the law to get agency workers to deputise for striking rail workers at some point in the future. Though as ever he didn’t seem to have totally thought this one through. “This is your train driver speaking. This is the first time I’ve ever done the London to Manchester route and I’m only on the minimum wage. And no one else on the train or in the control centre has a clue what they are doing either. So please bear with us. We’ll do our best to get you close to your destination, but if we get lost or have an accident, please don’t get angry. Thank you for your forbearance.”
