If you've been a Guard for 3 years surely you'd appreciate that ticket barriers at stations don't have any impact on the main reason for you being on the train? Revenue duties are important but by no means the main part of the job.

If you've been a guard for 3 years you should have some in sight as to what has been proposed

Have you missed all the stuff from the union with relation to the current high profile dispute with FGW in relation to axing Guards?

Or indeed listened to any of the conversations in your mess room.....

Sorry, but something doesn't add up here!

I'd like to think if you have been a guard for three years, you'd realise your job is more then just checking tickets.

I wouldn't be worried about losing your job if I were you, don't think anyone is going to give you one

Is it? Damn, that's where I've been going wrong then.
