This past weekend’s horrific events on an LNER rail service have shocked us all.
🚆 We should recognise the vital role played by the RMT and ASLEF unions in standing up for staff, securing fair pay and ensuring that rail workers have the tools and training they need.

Next time Reform or Tory politicians tell you train drivers just push buttons, ASLEF member are greedy and shouldn’t take industrial action, RMT members should be made redundant because trains don’t need guards remind them skilled rail workers save lives.

The first caller is a retired train driver of 42 years. Former ASLEF rep. He doesn't know what training guards get this century. He isn't familiar with the layout of the train. He's assuming every answer. Means well but it's just gossip. He's after his 5 minutes on radio. Utterly pointless exercise.

Maybe it isn't such a great idea to cut train staff to the bare bones in order to maximise profits for shareholders after all.
Remember the horrific events of this weekend and the actions of the train crew when politicians and right wing media attempt to demonise the RMT & ASLEF.
