The suggestions seem to be that RMT and ASLEF are out because of two drivers, who have been disciplined for:
1. Opening doors when some of the train isn't in a station; and
2. Failing a drugs test
Now, presumably the former is difficult to do and isn't as simple as just 'opening the doors by pressing a button' and the latter is failing a test.
But are the more expert people here aware of any more detail than the spun versions out there?
Was there a good reason to open the doors as driver did/was there a malfunction?
Did the drugs test relate prescribed properly taken drugs which were just vote thresholds (which have huge safety margins built in) or similar?
I really struggle to see how you could have a whacked up driver or one who wilfully gets the door opening wrong..... they are professionals at what they do and why risk your passengers (and your own career) for something that, as sensationalised as the press does, seems ludicrous? So is there a more sensible explanation for the headlines ?
(I did look in the other sections but couldn't find anything, which seemed odd as it's a current strike....)
