That's the sort of thing which would have Bob Crow spitting fire - you
can't expect someone who currently sits at the back of a train pushing
buttons to actually have to go out and talk to passengers and
generally do things that are useful...

To be fair, I'm not sure that many passengers would want to be talked
to by someone who's primary skills consist of sitting at the back of a
train pushing buttons :-)
