I can't speak for today but back at that time yes there was a lot of bitterness.
They are still called scabs and its not an overnight thing it goes on for years and years, men who were best mates changed overnight.
ASLEF NUR is now RMT and TSSA are still the three rail unions.
I don't know what would happen in todays railways if there was a strike i don't think it would last that long, today it's more like to be work to rule which should be done anyway.
