    Overcrowed Trains on ECML last Friday

    The Daily Mail reporter is a liar. The train was de-classified throughout the trip from London, therefore no one wouldve asked him for a first class ticket.

    East Coast dry train trial

    Jesus wept its only one train! There are plenty of other trains you can travel on... Oh wait a minute, some of you will probably object to getting out of bed earlier won't you - which, if you're that desperate for a drink, need to do.

    RMT playing fair?

    well, i would like to think that, going off my own past expierience the Lead Official for the company in question would have communicated the issue of the strike fund payment down to the Local Reps on site, who in turn wouldve (or shouldve) organised their members. It appears, from what your...

    Being Teetotal

    I am now actively T-Total, in part due to ill health but mainly because I became alcohol dependant For years I was one of these people that drank everyday after work, not a day would go by where I didn't have a drink in some way shape or form. Deliberately towards the end I'd find myself...

    A Second Highland Cheiftain ?

    Should the guard do the trolley?

    A lot of people forget that Bob Crow actually works to the instruction of the unions executive committee. He doesn't make the decisions, they do. It would appear that embers25 has an axe to grind here I don't know what it is though as I fail to understand the argument he's using, owing to the...
