RMT to ballot for strike action.

wow this thread - as I'm prob travelling on Thurs - made me look up how far it was from London Liverpool Street - to Waterloo - 2.2 miles - way shorter than I thought :)

considering how much running I do - no real excuse then ! :(
 
Luckily im not at work on thursday or I would have been screwed. It is really time to sack them and get self driving trains.

It is quite mad, those sort of queues make me laugh. Like I say, on a usual tube strike I will get into Paddington then walk from there. It's quite nice actually. However since FGW are striking it may be difficult to get into Paddington..

I think that for most people that commute in and actually don't live in London, they don't realise just how close everything is to each other, once you get into Zone 1 everything is a 20-30min walk at most

It's true. Talking of Waterloo to Liverpool St, I was meeting friends at Bank for lunch a few weeks ago, and I was guilty of being surprised when they said they just walked from Waterloo :o

Any updates on the strike yet? I can't see anything concrete...

Not a bad walk either, go down to the river and walk along the Thames path.
 
Yup. I'm sure the Express will be running, empty as usual whilst everybody else piles on to the Connect or the laughable 3-carriage Greenford trains!

Well it's confirmed. I'm normally fairly easygoing about the strikes as I can normally get to work but I'm thoroughly ****ed off with it this time. I'm booked in for laser eye surgery on Thurs so I am booked off work Thurs and Fri to recover. Now with FGW on strike I'm sure it's going to be massively stressful to get into town for my appointment in the morning and involve me probably legging it down the Marylebone Rd to get there. Just what you need before some fairly serious surgery. ****s. Absolute selfish ****s. I dare any of them to be on a picket line at Paddington. I dare them. :mad:

And therein lies my problem with the unions.

The dispute should not impact upon the public, it is between employer and employee.
