What I wonder is if most of these people playing Guard during all these strikes actually appreciate that people really can get hurt if they make mistakes? Are they so high on getting a day out of the office to play trains and have such little respect for colleagues in operational grades that they view the whole thing as a laugh, easy, that they don't need to take seriously? Is it just a woeful lack of training that results is an utter disregard for doing the job properly, or is it the belief that they can get away with mistakes without consequence, because, it's not their job for a start, and they know industry figures would literally rip out their own eyes in order to ensure a blind eye is turned to the standard various operational incidents we see during strikes?
Do they think about what happens if their incompetence lands them in a court room if someone gets hurt? The industry will be willing to turn a blind eye to their plight then too, no doubt.
That the ORR and RSSB can stand silently by as these people are passed out to conduct safety critical duties with inadequate paper exercise qualification for the role they conduct says everything about their supposed independence and respect for safety...
