Don't get me wrong; I am apalled by the behaviour of some railway
staff (LU and NR) and have been on the end of the "being abusive"
claims just for disagreeing with them (when they are wrong).

I was one accused of being abusive, despite the fact that I was the
one who was struck on the face by spittle. The member of staff did
not spit at me, but while he was nearly screaming at me some spittle
did emerge from his mouth and strike me on the face. Railway
management should sort these bad adverts for the railways out with
the help of Mr P45.

gratuitous abuse of the RMT. That's a union that has
done more to campaign against racism, attacks on civil liberties etc
than anyone posting here is ever likely to have done.

The RMT and its predecessors have indeed done many good things,
though I would not be so brave as to claim that they had done more
than anyone posting. They have also done a number of bad things,
including supporting staff who are a disgrace. However, I do agree
that the attack on RMT earlier in the thread was gratuitous.
