Default Here We Go Again - New Tube Strike Dates Revealed

Does anybody know what these two drivers have been sacked for? Without
knowing the full story it is difficult to pass judgement.


The BBC story linked to earlier says:

Mr Thomas was dismissed over "abusive behaviour" towards his
colleagues and Mr Lynch was sacked because he "over-rode his
train's safety systems and drove the train with complete
disregard for established procedures".


Shouldn't disregard for safety systems be a criminal matter. If it isn't
then it should be.


"Transport for London said it would study the outcome of the employment
tribunal judgment and consider its next steps."
