Train drivers at one of the country's biggest rail operators could stage a four-day strike if pay negotiations fail.

I don't know whether it was with a wry smile or pure disgust that I first read about this in Teletext where it stated that South West drivers are taking strike action followed by, in the last paragraph, that the TOC operates trains in the south east.

I'm not a media fan.

Just as well you saw it on teletext, otherwise there would probably have been a photo of a Pendolino with it
