Creating another pointless strike?

Yes.


What trains have you driven? Where did you drive them? Which railway
company do you work for?

How about telling us when you have the safety of hundreds of others to
think
about?

Oh put a sock in it. Do you know what the strike is about? They're
whinging
that theres no correct side door opening equipment in the trains on the
victoria line. Well guess what:

A) There hasn't been since they were built since 42 years ago so why
didn't
the RMT see fit to go on strike in 1967?

Why hasn't the problem been fixed in 42 years?

B) If doors have been opened on the wrong side perhaps they should be
asking the drivers who did it if they're up to the job if they're
apparently
too dumb to be able to tell which side the platform is on since opening
the
doors and pressing the start button is all they have to do given the
trains
are ATO.

Any one with the slightest bit of intelligence will understand the concept
of mistakes, when the task at hand is repeated thousands of times. You will
make similiar mistakes in your daily life, but at least others safety
doesn't suffer because of it.

How do you explain pilots landing with wheels up, ships colliding with
experienced captains and other very experienced people making fundamental
mistakes - are they just 'dumb'?

C) The trains are due to be replaced in a couple of years time anyway.

In two years, this mistake is likely to happen again - I hope it is not
someone you love who may be injured.

Oh , and to make their strike seem a bit less pointless they've thrown in
a standard issue side order of alleged "bullying" at seven sisters depot.
Yeah, right. More like managers telling some lazy arsed drivers to get on
with the job they're paid well over the odds to do.

What experience have you of railway management? What experience are you
using to make a judgment this bullying is not taking place?
