The Union say they had a deal on the table
but the Government got involved. https://news.sky.com/story/south-wes...ondon-11875497 [Thousands of train passengers faced misery during Monday morning's rush hour as staff on South Western Railway began their 27-day strike. The walkout, which will affect travel until New Year's Day, is the longest stretch of industrial action against a major rail operator in living memory. It comes after South Western Railway and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union failed to reach an agreement in the long-running dispute over guards on trains.] Last edited by arista; 02-12-2019 at 01:08 PM. |

Yes a Guard is needed The Union Boss on ITV1HD news confirmed their deal is ready to go back on the table but the Conservative Government changed it all. Hence the Strike is now a Election Issue, of course Corbyn says he will Take all the Railways back once each contract ends etc. |

Good, makes sense commuters hearded like cattle onto unmanned trains for extortionate prices can't be accepted.

The Boss of South Western Railway
claims new trains come in 6 months and they will have a Guard. But the Union boss says they are not real guards, Waterloo Station London is so busy, it's going to be Hell for folks trying to get home every train will be over packed. |
