Apparently a strike has been called by the RMT this Friday 21st December following a "comprehensive breakdown" in industrial relations, yet the company's website says that a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow where they appear optimistic about a resolution. Do we have any members of the Forum who work for the company and can tell us (without exposing themselves to the danger of legal action for libel please!) what is going on?

Also do we by any chance have anyone who drives their Voyager trains? To me they always seem cramped (at least in Standard class), there is a bad smell around the toilets and one I was in today was roasting hot but they do have excellent acceleration and high speed performance. I was wondering what they were like to drive.
