"Running a red light" to me implies a deliberate act; he knew the light
was red and decided to keep going anyway.

I very much doubt that that is the case: train drivers may accidentally
go past a red light, but I rather suspect that the last time a driver
may have deliberatly done so was in 1975 (and even then, it's hard to be
sure it was deliberate - he died, of course).

Why does whether the driver does or doesn't do his job
correctly make me ignorant.

Perfect, are we?

I would suggest that the driver has more to lose in a crash since he
would be at the front. Given that the drivers that strike don't give a
toss about the passengers why should the passengers give a toss about
the drivers.

Because a sense of justice means that the rules agreed between the
managment and the workers should be followed.

Then maybe somebody needs to ask the question why so many drivers go
past red lights accidentally? I still don't see why I should feel
concerned for a driver who may pass another red signal and therefore
invoke a suspended sentence when drivers don't give a toss about
passengers when they go on strike. This driver has been given a second
chance. If it was me I don't think that I would complain.
I would say that makes drivers ignorant *******.

What *ALL* of them??
Shut up you silly sod, My Father in Law has been a driver for 34 years and
does NOT deliberatly go through red lights!
PILLOCK!

I am very glad to hear it so can we get back onto the context of the
driver who was to be sacked then got a suspended sentence then. He has
already gone through one red light and if he doesn't go through another
he will be ok.
Drivers who go through red lights are pillocks and those that go on
strike in support of sacked drivers who have no concern for passengers
are pillocks.
As a fare paying passenger do you think I give a damn what the drivers
think of me?
