Default First Capital Connect strike ...

Any company that has to cancel half its service because drivers will
not work rest days and overtime is clearly not employing enough
drivers.

Interestingly First Great Western where in a similar position with
Guards about 24 months ago. Andrew Haines came in and recruited
enough Guards to run the service. Now if all the guards stopped
working overtime I doubt you would notice any difference.

First Capital Connect are in danger of losing their franchise if this
carries on much longer.
