This type of action does nothing to prove to people that WE the railway are here to run a service. If we can't run a train our customers don't say Oh its ok its Network Rail thats on stike not, (insert company), They just see the bloody railway not delivering on their contract again and this just put more bums on buses seats or more gas guzzling lorries back on the road.

As one of the comments states. When WE are on strike the high hied yins of the union are in their offices keeping warm and getting paid whilst the workforce are out freezing their bits off for nothing.

And yes I am in a union ASLEF but having started my working career in the military I personally see strike action as a total last resort as it does no good for my industry and more importantly it does no good for me putting food on my famillies table.
As a member of the RMT i must say that to say that all the union want to do is top cause maximum hassle as you put it to the travelling public is wrong in my mind.

It is all about coast's and networkrail trying to cut out coasts , do you think that the public would be happy if they think there not safe on there daily train to work.

Yet again Bob Crow is made out to be a villian but he is only doing as his membership is asking to be done.

they will vote and decided what action is to take place not Bob Crow.

It will only get worse belive me as networkrail is trying to push thorugh new t&c's for it's p.way staff,so what you may say,but if they think i am taking a pay cut of £ 8000, they must be off the planet.

So it could be a long bad time for the poor passengers

All the best,Ian.
