What’s it about then; their pensions are above most people as well. it’s political and I won’t be voting for the Tory Party - left wing clowns ruining our country but Labour would be even worse. Anyway this should be about football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway this should be about football It's about changes to their working conditions, enforced overtime, guardless trains etc etc Plus half of the current train strikes aren't down to the drivers. It just seems like they're always on strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 He's a good orator,.a lot of what he says seems to make a lot of sense regarding wider society, arguably absolutely useless as a union leader which is his job though.

My guess is that there may be some sort of service between Manchester & Stoke but nothing between Bolton & Manchester & having to get the bus to Manchester ( & back ) is painful.

They seem to run a day time service rather than evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
