What puzzles me is the deafening silence of rail experts on this. Of course I don't want an unsafe railway - who does? - so why aren't we better informed?

Bob Crow unfortunately always has a political agenda and has no sympathy for New Labour. I'm afraid I don't trust his announcements.
So in other words SHUT UP AND DO WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO WHATEVER.

Margaret Thatcher would love that quote,

The railways are now PRIVATE and the staff have a right to take strike action if their union feels that substantial talks fail and a mandate has been sought by a ballot of the members. This is the case in this dispute.

Oh by the way I agree about Bob Crow.
