      But does raise questions. I mean self drive cars are close. Those are self contained within the car. The car reads signs , sees people etc on the road.
      So would have thought self drive trains far easier .. fixed route and scenery.
      I mean a mid range phone is say £200 .. 2 plus cameras, gps, 4g, wifi even internal battery. So run driverless prototype in parallel with current manned trains .. lear on the job / prove case ? As mick lynch says .. still have someone on the train .. who can be alerted (wifi n mobile ?) To situations to call / veto a stop. At that point link remotely to one skilled train driver to tale over ?

      Class difference.
      Barristers must be a better class than railworkers. They are professionals who use their brains. They are therefore more deserving of an income commensurate with their status.
      Rail workers are interchangeable drones who do physical work. Definitely lesser beings who should know their place. When not working they should retire to their hovels until needed again. And they should be grateful to have those hovels.
      Anyone old enough will recall the delightful 'class' sketch with John Cleese and the two Ronnies. It was satirical, but ... Alas, 40 years on, it is still reality. England is still riddled with appallingly stultifying class differences.
      Mick Lynch is feted for wiping the floor with all establishment comers. He has a nimble mind. It is the only weapon he requires. Well, that and truth. But the point I am making is that he is not justly famous because he holds his opponents to account. He is also famous because he does it in the wrong accent.
      England is in a pitiful state.

He can huff and puff all he wants but they ain’t going to cave into his demands ever,anyone with a brain would have realised that by now but while he’s not losing any money what does he care,he won’t call an outright strike because it would cripple the union financially in no time when they had to pay strike pay though God knows where all the subscription money has gone.

      @@paulhudson5587 The point is 1.The amount of profits made by the companies are not going back into the businesses to improve them. 2. Those working at the bottom for companies are often on minimum wage and without them there would be no business. 3. Those at the top are getting much bigger pay rises than those at the bottom. E.g. If a CEO's wage is £250,000 per year and they get a 2% payrise that's an increase of £5,000 (more if based on share profits) in 1 year. If a worker at the bottom earning £20,000 per year received an 11% payrise in line with inflation they would get a pay increase of £2,000. However, quite often (if a company gives a pay rise) they usually will pay the ones on the bottom 3% or less. So if the ones at the bottom are on £20,000 per year get a 3% pay rise that's only an extra £600 per year ( approx £11 per week) before tax. So after tax, national insurance and pension contributions it's even less. Increasing wages at the bottom will hit the profits of big companies and the pockets of those raking it in at the top. Why should those at the bottom have to resort to using foodbanks and not be able to afford to heat their homes and pay their rents when those at the top can and do cream off the profits to line their own pockets?

(Engines with 8 cylinders generally over 5.7litres to the uninitiated) by train, the same journey would’ve cost us £520! Taking into account my mpg doubles on motorways to nearer 20mpg, and no MOT or road tax to throw into the equation, plus I repair and service it myself being a simple old thing!

    Articulate, calm, factual. Such a contrast to the MPs corporate driven double talk. Free speech is not the same as false speech.

    Straight talker no bullshit , wish there was more people like Mike in parliament , when I see the prime ministers questions on TV with all the childness that goes with it, the grumbles the cheering noises the hurrahs the back benchers make , its a sad state ,more people like Mike could turn this mess of a country around and take us forward ,

    Keep in mind that the Tory MPs asking these questions awarded themselves an 11% increase, and claim expenses often double their salary.
    Support the RMT. If they lose, we all lose.

      Except they aren't, otherwise they would recognise their own bullshit which spews from their mouths. Listening to most politicians speak, makes me realise just how terribly dim most of them are. An expensive education for these politicians, just seems to produce an elecuted voice and of course reliable connections!!
