Good. The changes that rail companies want to make to guards, ticket offices and track maintenance put the public at risk and like anyone, rail workers (not just drivers) don’t deserve to have their salaries cut in real terms.
they’re going to strike themselves out of the job. how many people are going to keep using trains after a year of disruptive strikes and extortionate fares? also remote work reduced the need for commuting.
Just to add this is mainly toc staff at this point, network rail staff settled the other month for 9.4% backdated and the removal of the maintenance “modernisation plan” so yeah they are leaving maintenance staff and schedules alone for the time being…
As always, article is mostly talking from the perspective of the RDG.
Meanwhile healthcare unions folding like wet playing cards

Didn’t they accept a deal in March? And again?
Can always count on these people asking for more
