  1.  @JeanJackson-kk9oh  Nothing would happen Jean as the trains won’t be running.

  3.  @lloydnaylor6113  As for tax, did you pay any of your salary working for an agency at 40% Lloyd? I did as a train driver, that and £550 pound N.I. Contributions each month. Over to you hard working legend….

  4.  @JL-rg8xs  Well said. Office and bank staff sat at home watching Netflix for nearly a year. My neighbours sat in their garden drinking every day for 10 months on full pay. They are the tory voters who didn’t mind the biggest act of socialism because their pockets or health wasn’t put at risk, now the rest of us are paying for it in 40 yr high in inflation. Make everyone of them pay that money back by adding it onto their wages.

  5. Another DLR merchant that thinks the rest of the trains could run line them. Getting boring now trying to explain why they won’t work anywhere else. You tube is full to the brim of gaslit sausages.

  6.  @lloydnaylor6113  Well there’s your answer Lloyd. Train drivers are paying a lot more tax than hard working (?) private sector agency workers. Then you have the Self employed who have more fiddles than a violin shop. Enjoy your weekends off.

  7. And people in the private sector never mention how many bonuses some people get. Maybe if you want a railway pension get a railway job. You’d have to give up your weekends with your family (39/52 on some rostas) no more bank holidays, Christmas & new year. 30 mins unpaid meal breaks instead of an hour ( plus if the meeting warrants it) no company cars or fuel, and the joy of waking up at 2.30am in February to get to work so you can get that train out so private sector workers can roll in at 9….

  8.  @libertasdemocratiam887  P way workers are on peanuts. Again I’m not sure where you are plucking this incorrect info from. Engineering dept yes but not the men & women that go out in all weathers. Their pay is at the lower end of the scale.

  9.  @libertasdemocratiam887  As you are such an expert- what would you do if a fully loaded tube train in a deep level tunnel with no driver and 1000 passengers stalled between 2 stations at 0830am in August then the compressor on one carriage caught fire? Remember the trains stalled with all brakes on and you don’t have a walkway like the DLR. Have a deep think and get back to me mate.

  10.  @DOCTORDROTT  If it’s overmanned why does the mainline only run on weekends with drivers that have volunteered to do overtime? You are taking bollox James.

  11. Mikes still upset even though he says no ones bothered!

  12.  @abstract33  They worked thru the pandemic whilst office bods sat at home in their Pjs. They are the main reason inflation is so high so why not tax then extra to repay that money now everything’s back to normal and give it to the rail workers. Then they will stop striking.

  19.  @icdgyixify  What on earth are you on about Hugh? What, just because it runs in ATO you think a deep level tube line doesn’t need an operator on the front? Must be amazing being an expert on things you know nothing about.

  20. Talk TV - biased beyond belief.

  21. As a train driver you are classed as an essential worker so you would get fuel. That’s what happened last time.

  22.  @lloydnaylor6113  And if you were an agency worker you need to take that up with the agency and not rail workers.
    2
  23.  @lloydnaylor6113  All rail staff worked thru the pandemic, one of my ex colleagues lost his life to Covid. Meanwhile in your agency world you are blaming everyone else because you never got a proper job with fair pay AND conditions that the unions fought hard for over the years.
    2
  24.  @lloydnaylor6113  That’s because unlike most office and bank staff rail workers still went to work thru the pandemic with one of my ex colleagues catching covid and dying Lloyd.

  25.  @schmuck6  Not really. Depends how much you pay in. You can add more with AVCs. Maybe you could apply and then join in. The trouble is as the pensions are better than most it’s just another subject to wind you people up, one reason the RW media always drop it in the conversation .My mates go on and on about it but they are all self employed builders who in some cases earn so much money they have to “lose” it on Caribbean holidays as they can’t put it in the bank. All claim for everything and pay peanut NI contributions then moan about not getting sick leave. Rather than looking at others, if your pension isn’t very good blame yourself not grumble about other people doing a completely different job. Do you see a nice motor and run a key down the side of it?

  26. How many zeros does James Max get for sitting at a desk waffling nonsense and comparing a DLR train to the mainline. Absolute sausage. You are paying him far too much, anyone can sit there for 2 hours a day. Make the show presenter - less and save a fortune…

  27.  @reggiesmith3866  There’s been a revolving door on No 10 for the last few years so when did the public vote for any of them?

  28.  @danieloliver4558  Once you’ve set your business up you can look forward to claiming for everything and paying peanuts in NI contributions. 👍🏻

  29.  @icdgyixify  Silly response. I Evacuated 3 trains on 7/7 . Without fully trained and competent people on the front there could have been quite a few fatalities. I have also had 3 pushouts where the train in front stalled and needed me behind to couple up and get it going. Wouldn’t happen without a driver. You wouldn’t understand though as you are just waffling the DLR route with a fake profile. Perfect GB news / talk tv cultist.

  30.  @libertasdemocratiam887  As others have said the infrastructure isn’t there. If it were why didn’t they implement full auto and driverless running on the Elizabeth line? You know the one recently opened nearly 5 years after schedule and 4 billion in the red…..

  31.  @icdgyixify  DLR unit holds 260 passengers at full capacity- S stock 1350 Hugh. DLR - 3 carriages S stock - 8 How would you get passengers off a train in the deepest section of the tube ( nearly 60m underground and 17 miles long ) ?

  32. Another comment on comparing totally different jobs that has believed the media gaslighting. If those as you say in the lowest spectrum of pay aren’t striking it’s because their unions are weak. You can’t compare someone who empties bins to that of someone who is in charge of a 300+ tonne passenger train on 25,000 v ac with up to a thousand people behind them. That’s total nonsense. Most people use nurses as a benchmark but again it’s not train staffs fault that they earn crap money but that of a tory government and the idiots who gave them a massive majority. And it’s nothing about greed either, they just want a pay rise not having had one for 4 years which included Covid which they worked thru, unlike office staff/bankers etc who sat at home on free money. One reason inflations so high. Did you start working expecting to earn the same money 20 years down the line than you did when you first started? Of course you didn’t.

  33.  @phildavies6020  Agree. Mind you what else would a load of z list bods do with their time?

  34. So how do you explain the price rises over the last 4 years. The same 4 years no one on the railway hasn’t had a payrise? Stay away from plug sockets fella.

  35.  @icdgyixify  Ah the old “ compare the dlr to a deep level tube line 100 ft underground with no walkway like the dlr for emergency detrainments “ waffle. What’s next Hugh? Compare it to the glasgow to Euston main line…

  41.  @lloydnaylor6113  How many private sector workers get up at 3 am and work 39 weekends out of 52? Answer fk all. Could you imagine a world with no public sector workers? You could walk your child to school then teach them yourself, on the way back drive yourself to your job and on the way take your rubbish to the dump, pass by the sorting office and collect your mail then go out for an expenses paid piss up and then go to A&E and put a bandage on yourself. You sit at home for a year on full pay, weekends, bank holidays off, bonus collecting merchants are the reason the country is in such a mess.🍩

  43. Boris. You are proof that the people on £1000 have convinced those on minimum wage that people that earn £35 an hour are the problem. Wakey wakey.

  44. So, you think a drivers pay should be minimum wage then? What a plonker Rodney.

  45.  @ebillyboi  Simple? The rail way workers were AT WORK all thru Covid. The only ones that were furloughed were office staff and management. Sausage.

  47. You forgot to put BLM, woke, communist & lefty in your comment to complete the full nonsensical posting.

  48.  @davidpryle3935  it’s obviously working on the plebs though David. Looking thru the comments you see lot’s of driverless waffle. I’m currently trying to guide a qualified engineer on another thread who has an answer for everything. He should be PM as the UKs problems would be solved over night.

  50. Don’t forget that anyone who votes Labour is a LeftyBLMcommieWokeyscrounger too. If you put that sentence in your comments Andy you’ve covered everything and anyone who has a different outlook to you bud but then as you are intrinsically linked to Boris albeit a Scandinavian/German version it’s hardly surprising. 😀

  51.  @danieloliver4558  Funny answer. As a train driver in the public sector I’d be up at 2.50 and had worked nearly 4 hours before most private sector workers were on their second chocomocholatteatto talking about last nights tv for 30 before going for a fag break then slowly walking towards their desk to turn the computer on. Never saw any private sector workers thru Covid either as they were all sitting at home on free money watching Netflix for a year..
