Southern Rail strike – who is right?

If the driver is incapacitated or trapped in the cab and the train looses the ability to talk to the signaler, who are you going to call and will you as a passenger know where you are , and what happens in a tunnel with no or little mobile signal, thats why safety trained staff are critical on all services

What about the hundreds of trains which currently run without a second member of staff? Are they unsafe then? Are they really “critical”, or are they just a nice to have? Lucky it’s not being proposed they’re done away with.

It’s not an issue until it is.

Excellent point, it’s why we do risk assesments, look at mitigation and understand what happens if, the amount of what if thinking around safety is huge. People think this stuff through.

And from what I have read the risk assessment for driver operating the doors on these old rolling stock on southern shows and increased but unquantified risk – from a very superficial survey.

Is this from the link you posted previously? It also doesn’t mention any further steps put in place.

Let’s hope this morning all the tosserz turn up for work, only to be confronted by the Public who refuse to let them on the trains.

Or that they’ve all been handed thier notice, for not turning up to work the previous 3 days without a self cert note covering that period.

Or, perhaps the Public absolutely refuse to acknowledge or interact with the tosserz.

The 70’s have arrived, tell your Father it’s all fine now.

The traffic through Swanley was insane this morning.

It will be worse tonight.

So glad I cycle to work.
