That sentence is probable less readily comprehensible to many then the aforementioned announcements...

Going by the Disputes & Prosecutions section, I'm imagine there are people of a delicate disposition who'd appreciate the law not being mentioned, due to it sounding too oppressive...

I'd think it'd be less suitable for the former than the latter, depending on the circumstances. Personally I'd rather them under use them, they can be more distracting and untimely than other things operators forbid to avoid distractions.

Send the Guard!

If socialism is saving people from going on a holiday to Birmingham, it should really be appreciated...

Why only GTR, don't want to rock the boat too much...? It'll be interesting to see if the RSSB's guidance paper on the matter, mentioned in the report, results in anything discernible. Indeed, I can't speak for that location, but there are others like that where you wouldn't give it much if...

Can people please read @Solent&Wessex 's post above carefully and try to understand it, as it explains rather well a fundamental flaw of the industry/RDG/state's current position.

People believe it here even with more information available to them...

Fear not, union staff are usually in a union themselves or are at least entirely entitled to be.

You have the floor... Fairly inevitable who would make the most of this news. More wood for the fire, heh.

I'm sure they appreciate all the other days more, when they don't even have to go to the bother of buying a valid ticket.
