As I say we have no trains local to us our nearest station is 25 miles away.  However, the company running Scotrail, in Scotland is Dutch and is in real trouble for mismanagement.

"Labour stands shoulder to shoulder with the RMT" - Andy MacDonald (Corbyn's Transport Chappie).

Isn't this rail strike all about one man operated trains?

There's no end to this nonsense - blackmail by the Union(s) at the "Season of Goodwill".

Same ol', same ol'. 

Maybe they want us to return to the pre- industrial age, thus creating more jobs.

They're taking us back to the '70s. so far -  a long way to go before the Luddites hit the streets.

Maggie did for the Union blackmailers 30 plus years ago - perhaps Theresa May can conjure up something now.

  Badger,  you were spot on.  The London Underground workers are going on strike on January 8th.

Badger -

Please don't predict that the bookies are going on strike!

Happy Xmas
