This week will be the last straw for many non militant SWR guards.
Services ran well, except for Network Rail failings.
The main routes had frequent well filled services with announcements better, clearer, & fuss free compared with those from many usual guards.
Plus regular info on which coaches passengers would find empty seats in.
Fellow passengers said they had never got this helpful advice from the regular guards.
Stayed on Woking platform for a while & noticed three trains were guarded by men in full guard's uniform.
So good hearted RMT guards are drifting back.
I predict the strike will be effectively finished within 8 weeks.
But RMT will never declare it over. See section 4B of the union's key aims.
