  1.  @a.rentertainment2232  Most conditions that most workers get today are because union members at some point took strike action. Do your managers give you a cap to doff?

  2. Do you have a tape repeating boris talking about driverless trains when you go to bed at night? Gaslighting for numpties episode 1

  3. @Carl Collins You are talking complete bollox Carl but then you probably watch GBnews whilst reading The Mail.😂

  4. @Carl Collins Don’t forget that train drivers also get 54 weeks annual leave every year as well Carl…

  7. No one is claiming drivers are low paid so not sure what shitrag you plucked that nonsense from. They are striking as they haven’t had a pay rise for 4 years on some lines. The management are also trying to bring in some really silly changes in working practices but those aren’t often mentioned just that drivers earn 60k or as this presenter seems to think 100 which is a complete lie.

  11. Why do you people still keep waffling on about driverless trains? Deluded.

  14.  @MrJudgementday99  If it’s as easy as you say why do most train companies struggle to recruit drivers. I trained people for over a decade and most could get past 6 months.

  15. You’ve never done it so how would you know? I’d wager you wouldn’t even pass the initial testing, then once on defect handling month you’d wet yourself.

  16. ​ @FoookOff  It takes up to 12 months to fully qualify as a train driver and the fail rate is a lot higher than a lorry driver. You don't know me either but I've done both. The last 10 years an instructor/assessor. Take it you're a lorry driver - what happens when you breakdown?

  17. ​ @FoookOff  Where did you look up the requirements? Daily Mail?...

  18. That’s because you never tried hard enough at school. Keep stacking.

  21.  @MinkieWinkle  More auto/driverless waffle from someone who’s probably been on the monorail from Birmingham station to the airport and thought all trains and railways are like that.😂

  22.  @MichaelPetek  immigrants can’t come here any more because you voted for Brexit.

  23.  @MinkieWinkle  If you’re so qualified why are you taking complete bollox?

  24.  @MinkieWinkle  What happens if a plane has a fault in mid flight? Does the defect fix itself or does the pilot take over? What happens when a compressor overcharges on a tube train in August with 1300 passengers on board 90ft underground? Does the invisible driverless robot walk back to the trailer car and magically lift seats to fix the defect? Or do you think you are just regurgitating RW media shite on YT?

  25.  @MinkieWinkle  What’s next? Comparing a tube system built in Victorian times to one in modern day Japan. Maybe you think the main line from Glasgow to London could run in ATO at full line speed with no driver? Maybe all you driverless experts could volunteer putting your families on the first runs…

  26.  @MinkieWinkle  Automatic trains have been running for years on some underground lines. They still require an operator for when they go wrong to override and manually drive the trains. This won’t happen on the mainline for decades as the infrastructure simply won’t allow it so you can keep trying to wind people up by quoting nonsense that won’t happen in your lifetime or realise that train workers will always be needed on and off the trains. No point in comparing the UK to places like Japan or Germany because the UK can’t organise a piss up in a brewery. All our trains come from abroad and then are bolted together in places like Derby. They usually start to show problems within 6 months of leaving the factory. Just because a system works on a car it doesn’t mean it will work on a train in a real life scenario. I don’t have an Engineering degree but 39 years of being the end user and training new drivers. I can tell you now that all these pipedreams of magic, driverless automatic trains are decades away. When Crossrail was introduced it was nearly 5 years late and 4 billion in the red. Did it have driverless/autonomous trains being the newest kid on the block? No. There’s your answer.

  28. Are you still enjoying your Cypriot passport? If so you should give it up and be a true patriot.

  29. Elizabeth line nearly 5 years later and 4 billion over budget. Do you actually think that the government know what they are doing? If so any wonder why the UK should make people take a sobriety test before voting.

  30. London Underground the oldest metro in the world has the lowest subsidies from central government in Europe.

  31.  @MichaelPetek  It takes up to 12 months to qualify on most lines so your idea is silly.

  32. I would rather we stop subsidising the royals than our train service. If only the money went into the pockets of the workers rather than a few shareholders then we would have anyone striking.

  33. That Major won’t go anywhere near a battlefield James. They will order their minions to send people like yourself in to get shot at for minimum wage.

  34. And let’s face it James. A major won’t be hard up for any money. They only have to ask mummy and daddy for more if needed.
