Default Drivers refusing to work

Apparently the unrest isn't about their own safety, but because of
the lack of communication from those on high during recent
incidents.

Which means they can't drive trains?


Theyt can drive trains, but want to know what's going on and most
importantly what to do when someone detonates a bomb or somesuch.
Lack of information/communication leads to passengers being stuck on
trains for extended periods for no good reason.


Considering it seemed that, in all the confusion of the events,
no-one knew what exactly had happened and what was going on it seems
unfair to complain that the management didn't let the drivers know
what was generally unknown.


No one expects to be told what is unknown. However, when those responsible
refuse to answer the radio or phone then those at the sharp end are entitled
to ask questions I would suggest.
