Why is there so little on the news and here about the now weekly strike by
Aslef on Silverlink. I gather it is pension related but not sure why the
passengers should be forced to suffer. I suppose that when they do go back
to work normally they will want soem sort of bonus for working a full week.
The rest of the Silverlink staff don't seem to give a stuff, very little
information but then I guess they have an easy day.
I guess this is Silverlink's way of saying f**k off to the passengers
because they are losing their franchise.

Had en excellent journey from Euston to Watford Junction on Silverlink
this morning. The 12 car train was practically empty. Looked like
everyone thought no trains were running.

No trains north of Tring, last train about 17:00 from Euston to
Tring.

Instead it's a 90 mile round trip in the car, which is bloody
expensive to do every week in addition to the monthly season ticket. I
assume the strike days are void days, which doesn't help unless I
renew my ticket, and even then will just give me free travel on a
Friday, Satruday and Sunday, which is rather pointless.
