All I know is that my season ticket costs thousands and I sometimes don't get a seat. Moreover, lots of people haven't had a rise at all because of the recession, and a significant number of those people will rely on trains to get to work.

I don't agree with the strike but this ballot would have even fully complied with the more severe plans this govt; is setting out to do as to strike action.
The ballot is done, there is plenty of time to work out a compromise still by employers if they are willing to attempt to do so along with the Unions and staff too.
If they are not, and all that has so far failed,then the strike will in fact be the last resort.
The action totally legal and validated, and people shouldn't get sacked for doing nothing illegal.
