This "enormous pressure" would therefore not resemble the "enormous

They seem to forget about the pressure normal commuters are under.
The bombs are in the passenger section of the trains , not in the
drivers cab. They're probably in the safest part of the train.


The TU leaders need to seriously rethink their approach before this
backfires on them.

Its the RMT. Who expected anything different?


Apparently the unrest isn't about their own safety, but because of
the lack of communication from those on high during recent incidents.

Which means they can't drive trains?

Theyt can drive trains, but want to know what's going on and most
importantly what to do when someone detonates a bomb or somesuch. Lack of
information/communication leads to passengers being stuck on trains for
extended periods for no good reason.

Considering it seemed that, in all the confusion of the events, no-one knew
what exactly had happened and what was going on it seems unfair to complain
that the management didn't let the drivers know what was generally unknown.

No one expects to be told what is unknown. However, when those responsible
refuse to answer the radio or phone then those at the sharp end are entitled
to ask questions I would suggest.
