  2.  @90sgamer.person  Fortunately John unlike warehouse workers you have to be fully qualified to be let loose on the front of a 250 tonne train that holds 1300 people at full capacity. Up to 12 months of interviews, exams, stock training and route learning then another test day with a manager to pass out. So unlike a warehouse worker you can't just rock up a foreign agency worker because you need the relevant licences and have passed the necessary tests. Yes, they have made it easier from when I joined the railway 35 years ago but not everyone had the nouse to pass all the tests. Besides all that, I thought all you angry brexit supporters wanted rid of foreigners anyway? So much for being a patriot!

  3.  @90sgamer.person  I was talking about a tube train (unladen)which is where I worked. Well done for your hard work. I don't knock people for what they earn which is what you've done. Obviously the broom/warehouse piss taking went over your head John. And that's your problem fella - you've just spent countless posts knocking other people's wages, the common issue is comparing a train driver to a nurse. But you don't like it when I mention that you earn more than a nurse for still effectively working in a warehouse. Not nice is it? My suggestion is that you find out ALL the reasons why rail workers are striking, stop going down the usual route of being one of the sheep that look like they've soaked up over a decade of tory crap and stick by them as one day YOUR job could be next. Also, let's not forget that if you get weekends and bank holidays, annual leave, pension, anti discrimination rights, maternity/paternity pay etc etc where they all came from. Yes, The union members over the years all losing money to fight for what's right for EVERYONE.

  13.  @bobblue_west  Of course. Ok to pay office and bankers full pay for a year to sit in their gardens but not to keep the oldest metro system in the world afloat in your world of myopia is it? 3 guesses which underground system in Europe gets the least in funding from central government?.... 3 guesses which underground systems workers went to work all thru the pandemic?...

  17.  @monk3yboy69  Spot on. You will get bankers and office workers complaining about train drivers money often comparing them to other jobs ( mainly nurses ) How do most of those people get to work? Yes, those train drivers and rail staff that got up at 2.30am to get those people where they need to be.

  28.  @marvintpandroid2213  Yes, I'm aware of that Marvin. My point was talking about driver only which the tube went over years ago. Fully understand the distance of stations on the main line but there are lots of unstaffed stations on the Underground system too. That was bojos doing when London decided it was a good idea to let him play at mayor. First job - shut 800 booking offices.

  45.  @simonshotter8960  No chance. This is the UK. Xrail - 4 billion over budget and nearly 5 years late and guess what? They have a driver Simon. Whilst ATO is possible , fully driverless trains is a Bojo bollox fallacy. Anyone who knows anything about how the railways work wouldn't even mention driverless trains. The infrastructure in this country can't handle it. No point in comparing our trains to countries abroad.

  48.  @bobblue_west  No. All rail staff are monitored in some way. Drivers ( obvious ) platform staff are given different Jobs depending on location. Granted, in the old days at stations on the extremities of the combine the station staff were normally a station supervisor and they didn't go anywhere. Now they will have more than one station to look after and do various safety checks. Your 9 to 5.30 pm might be better directed at office staff. First 30 minutes talking over coffee about last nights tv and then a full hour for meal break, plus not forgetting the copious amounts of fag breaks huddled around somewhere. Also not forgetting weekends off, bank holidays and Christmas shut downs. None of that applies to the railway.

  49. @D C Spot on DC. Give train drivers more tax breaks. Considering they get the country to work and worked all thru the pandemic they should be given bonuses too. It's nice to see someone who actually sees the bigger picture. 👍

  50. Sorry to hear that. It does prove that Brexit was and is a load of tosh. If these companies can't get staff from Europe they will get them from India etc all part of sweeteners from any trade deals.
