        @BBCNews Strange how it's always the unions & workers fault & NEVER the management ?

        Looks like the Reds are coming out from under the beds again. This must be stopped now. Train drivers earn very good money.

        they aren't striking over pay. They're striking over job cuts, working conditions and threat to safety & security

        They have said there will be no job cuts, just a change of duties. Where is the problem?

        I listed three things and you answered to one and asked what the problem was.

        All of your points are not valid. No job cuts, no reduction in personnel on trains, knew working conditions.

        These rail strikes seem to be contagious, perhaps a vaccine should be developed ASAP.

        @BBCNews these people should be sacked for striking. Getting to really dislike these greedy selfish individuals.
