No drivers aboard Docklands Light Railway services. All automated. The odd ticket inspector maybe. If you have to have a driver aboard now it's only because the rules haven't been updated.


No someone has to be able to take over that's what was said

The last few replies are pie in the sky

Half passengers numbers since 2019??
Automated trains??

Boys mun stop reading the Daily Mail and looking at BBC websites.

The 1st vote we voted 88% for strike action the second vote we voted 91% for strike action

With figures like that and a very strongh articlulated
clued up leader in Miick Lynch these suits are just going round and round yes we are not making money being on strike but 91% of us know that the railway has always run on overtime simply because there are not enough staff!! what 91% of us have been doing between October and Xmas is just banging in the O/T to cover the strikes as our roster clerks are begging us to fill shifts.

We are not going anywhere they have no idea about the railway and how it works they can't even keep their own house in order how many Prime Ministers have we had in the last few months! And the man who said we were all gonna die if we went to funerals or kissed our Gran is jollying it up in Australia in front of our faces and getting paid handsomely £££

Wake up people

Why don't you just go on strike and stay out until your demands are met? That is a real strike, not a mickey mouse day here day there.

Basically because they can make money on overtime to cover their strike action which seems to suggest the industry is flawed.

So much for the die fighting, as long as it doesn't hurt my pocket. People are supposed to suffer hardship when on strike and fight for the cause, this lot are soft.

No wonder any sympathy is evaporating, when you read posts like that.

Sadly there are going to be a lot of job losses when this dispute ends

So you don't mind me striking as long as me, my colleagues and my family suffer.

My family suffered enough in the 1980's when the oldman got laid off, we lost our family home and the oldman died 10yrs later after drinking himself to death a broken man barely 60yrs old.

If that makes me soft then so be it

Speaking from experience I was on strike for 13 weeks in the 80s and they were hard times.

I can't see what your Union is trying to achieve with these couple of days strikes at a time.

And with respect the earlier post comes across as gloating, and I just think you are alienating the public.

The government can put up with these one and two day strikes for as long as it takes

My point exactly. If they insist on the odd day here and there it could go on a very long time. They have little support from the public as its a pain if you use trains. An all out strike is the only way because it would bring the dispute to a head.

Apparently there is talk the train operating companies are putting a national strike time table into place from next week until well into January

91% think so, Its not over til it's over

The deal they offered us was an insult 4% this year, 4% next year and rip up our T&C

We used to average a pay rise of about 3% tops, we haven't had a pay rise for 3 years so that's 9% we are down without the inflation mess we are in and ripping up our T&C,

I've read what they propose and worked it out I will loose about £6,000 a year

Thank you for that, that was the figures for April to June 2022 and shows a steady increase month on month so lets see what the next 6 months of 2022 say as the reports are next out next week.

And don't forget In those figures strike action by the RMT union took place on 21, 23 and 25 June. In
response a reduced timetable was put in place on the strike days and the days between
(22 and 24 June). Compared with the equivalent days in the week before and the week
after the strikes, the trains planned in Great Britain were down by around 80% on the strike
days and by around 25% on the days between the strike days

As a regular rail user it doesn't seem to be working, plus you seem to have alienated the public and have very little sympathy.

No problem. I am not saying that you don't deserve what you are after, its just that so many are struggling and have little chance of getting anything like inflation rate rise. The feedback I give from talking to fellow rail passengers on long journeys.

Even the German and British armies called a Christmas truce during the Worst killing war .

Pity all unions don't call of all strikes until the New Year and the Union leaders sit down with management over Christmas to sort it out by negotiations.
