Eh? If you have an annual season ticket, you may not lose out
financially but you will certainly pay in time and inconvenience if your
regular service doesn't run.

You missed the point. The previous post said that a ticket-checking
embargo would benefit passengers. It will *not* benefit the vast
majority of regular travellers, just those who pay per journey (and
therefore might well not have travelled if the embargo wasn't
happening).

Yes, an actual strike (of signallers, in this case) will affect me
adversely. However, if it's justified (something I don't have enough
information to determine), then I will grin and bear it.

[Older readers may wish to note my name.]
