Today I'm going to the office by train despite the strike.

Cons
* there are less trains circulating
* you may need to do more connections to get to your destination

Pros
* there are more passengers disappearing than trains not scheduled
* all trains scheduled run on time
* your bosses and colleagues believe you are some kind of wizzard

And you, what are you up to today? How's the week-long NMBS-SNCB strike impacting you if at all?

  1. I have the feeling that whenever there is a strike, my train runs more on time (I usually have a delay of a minute or two, which doesn’t bother me, but whenever there is a strike, it’s significantly better).
    I have a more modern train. (I usually have an older train on my route).
    The train I take is a lot longer and has more carriages.

    So overall experience, strike more, please.

  2. I wanted to say your pic must be AI (no delays) but I forgot about the strike indeed.

  3. People call to ask me to change dates or times despite the fact they knew about the strike since three weeks. All within 24 hours of the meeting, too, of course.

    It’s irritating. I’m supposed to be the one with organizational problems due to autism.
