Quite correctly the trains are on strike, on a minimal service. Usually that's manageable if you must travel, today it's a little more chaotic.
Someone said there was a trespasser on the track, so maybe it's the two things compounded!
Yet another #TrainStrike thanks to the Tories, there are no #trains across the Pennines from #Sheffield. The #train companies can't be bothered to run replacement buses, and they want £80 for a whole new ticket to go a different route
So I'm taking the #bus through the #PeakDistrict instead. First: #TMTravel 218 to Bakewell

@siegeavecvue Ok, I'll have to give up recommending Finland as a destination for #TrainTravel, at least for a moment, because of #TrainStrike.

WATCH: Do one-person train operations discrimate against disabled? Old Geezer Show, 22 February, 2023
WATCH: One of the big issues between the train drivers union and the train owners and operators is one-person operation, which is also of considerable concern to disabled people and wheelchair users.

Hatte vergessen wie müde sich die Welt morgens. Flughafen anfühlt.
Und: offenbar Pandemie over. Vereinzelt sieht man Chinesen mit Maske.

Another day, another late short-formed train to #MCR...
That Northern rail staff are really earning every penny this morning, by guarding the doors, and bellowing at passengers like coked-up nightclub bouncers, looking for a fight.
No, I don't have any solidarity with the RMT or Aslef unions. Their staff are overpaid morons, and I don't support pro-Brexit organisations of any type.
Replace the whole lot of them with robots. Sack the lot of them.

I can’t wait for Sunak, Barclay and this inept Tory govt. to realise that ‘minimum safety levels’ before a strike will mean the NHS has to have empty nursing posts filled to cover overnight shifts and all trains will require guards for passengers safety.
Exactly the reasons alongside pay that the #NHSstrike and #TrainStrike are happening in the first place!

In the U.K., Prime Minister Sunak may unveil legislation to ban strikes which may be passed by the end of summer which may survive legal challenges by the unions which may end serious disruption due to strike action which may happen in the future.
Sounds great!
Does that mean we can catch a train any day this week?
No. It doesn't. No.

Tomorrow the second day after the train strike action ended organising a trip to Leeds for a few seasonal drinks has become a logistical nightmare. Trains are already cancelled giving us a real fear that the evening services won't run, leaving us stranded.
How have the government and operators led us to this point?
