Default Silverlink Strike

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.


Yesterday at Bushey I counted 7 Silverlink staff checking for valid tickets.
If I wasn't in a hurry to get the train I would have given them a proper
bollocking.
