        @andrefranc1s @BBCBreaking you are deluded. I bet you don't even know what the offer is. You certainly don't know what NR have been doing

        @EwanRCD @keith_chinn @BBCBreaking Believe me, the strike isn't just about money, it's more about the way @networkrail staff are treated.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Maybe if Rail Track workers ensured our railways worked the people of Britain may have been sympathetic

        @AndyApgk66 @powell_barrie A very unfair statement, I think. These ppl work long unsocial hours in awful weather and just want a fair deal.

        @munchiebaby77 @AndyApgk66 Understandable as everyone wants their 'fair deal' but we're still paying off all the other fair deals (debt)

        @powell_barrie @AndyApgk66 While asking workers 2 take pay cuts due 2 financial constraints. Not specific 2 Network Rail alone, but unfair.

        @munchiebaby77 @AndyApgk66 they're not taking a cut, they're just being unfair in asking for a rise when the rest of us persevere

        @BBCBreaking Given the current woeful record of signal reliability in SE London, will anyone actually notice a @networkrail strike?

        @BBCBreaking Or they could just quit and let people on #BenefitsStreet make a very good living for themselves?
