I suppose that they will be there again tomorrow. Heaven forbid that
they can do something useful like learn to drive a train. I find it
very off that these people have been at Watford all this week in the
knowledge that they can catch unsuspecting travellers but there has
been diddly squat about the new franchise holder or the raeson for the
strike, I didn't even realise that the County trains were changing as
well, or some actual help for confused passengers, but there again,
typical railway operators. I have sent a query to TfL and the Mayors office.

You know, they will be there because that is what they are employed to
do - protect their employer's revenue.

Train drivers are employed to drive trains; a whole different kettle of
fish. Why would you expect someone who is employed to check tickets to
have to drive a train?

What a very strange world you must inhabit.
