2nd day now and all it says is an issue between Milton Keynes & Euston

You couldn't take any photos really without walking the track from NMC. The down line visibly dips and leans to the left towards the valley below. As you go over the section the train leans over to the left quite noticeably.

Embankment just before New Mills Central is next to go. It's 5mph at mo & fingers crossed

Usual rolling strikes and OT ban ☹️

Man Picc drivers sheets fully covered for Sat & Sun. But they still cancel Man Picc crewed services.

I don't know details but guards in work today mentioned a couple of the worst bits.... No fixed rest day pattern. Sick pay cut/reduced and dependant on service. Changes to daily leave usage

This should be a forum sticky to be included in any posts about why drivers are striking....

Aslef would likely welcome an approach from Govt with a similar offer to the RMT. We've been told they have had no contact whatsoever from RDG. It's not about saving face.

Would like some too . We've been told it's 6 months deal on same terms as last time. But no official details yet.....

Drivers. Aslef agreement

6 months deal

Whoever is best placed in your constituency to beat the Tory candidate

30th Sept and 4th October

About 190 I think. 190 spaces anyway. They will all be replaced with new drivers......but it's a slow process to become fully productive on all routes/traction, especially with no RDW.

Yep. My depot is losing 12 fully route & traction trained drivers to Avanti over the next 6-12 months. 2 are going to Cross Country and 1 or 2 every couple of months to TPE or Freight.

Of course I want roads. You are the one picking and choosing which public services you deem appropriate for subsidy

So you do want out govt to build and maintain roads for car usage...... Does road building pay for itself or is it a cost to the taxpayer? Perhaps I as a taxpayer don't want to pay for it as I don't use it? 1694336583 Tories love bringing up previous Labour governments or even strikes from 40+...

What if the railways actually contribute to the UK via economic multiplier effects. The railway is a service to the UK economy, not a sunk cost
