It would make a change. One Brighton commuter of my acquaintance is
getting quite annoyed on twitter about the hours she's losing to
DOO strikes.


The RMT really are a spiteful bunch of ****s. The new working conditions
they're complaining about are already used elsewhere on the Southern network
not to mention all over the country presumably jobs also done by RMT members.
It really is time the government took some action against this union. Any
union sanctioning illegal work to rules and endless sick days off should be
taken to court and ultimately shut down.

DOO might be fine for upto half a dozen coaches, but given the huge
numbers that can be stuffed on 12 coach train and the difficultly of a
driver, even with CCTV, being able to monitor 36? doors and that the
'second man' is doing other duties, why not have him controlling doors?
Presumably if he isn't a guard they can pay them less?
How much extra money does the company make if the second man isn't a guard?
