Creating another pointless strike?

Yes.


What trains have you driven? Where did you drive them? Which railway
company do you work for?

How about telling us when you have the safety of hundreds of others to think
about?

Oh put a sock in it. Do you know what the strike is about? They're whinging
that theres no correct side door opening equipment in the trains on the
victoria line. Well guess what:

A) There hasn't been since they were built since 42 years ago so why didn't
the RMT see fit to go on strike in 1967?

B) If doors have been opened on the wrong side perhaps they should be
asking the drivers who did it if they're up to the job if they're apparently
too dumb to be able to tell which side the platform is on since opening the
doors and pressing the start button is all they have to do given the trains
are ATO.

C) The trains are due to be replaced in a couple of years time anyway.

Oh , and to make their strike seem a bit less pointless they've thrown in
a standard issue side order of alleged "bullying" at seven sisters depot.
Yeah, right. More like managers telling some lazy arsed drivers to get on
with the job they're paid well over the odds to do.
