So that's not the West Coast line which we'll use to Blackburn. However...
- if they're running when LNER aren't there's a possiblity Euston and the trains will just be so overrun and rammed that it's not practical to use them.
- If that is the case, will they advise you not to travel and offer refunds? Or will they just shrug and say 'we ran a service mate, you chose not to use it, no refund'
- Even if it does run fine no Northern and no TPE means no service Preston to Blackburn, so there'll be some happy Preston cab drivers, and getting back after will be an ars. | | | |

BBC have actually updated/corrected the list. So Avanti/Northern/TPE all appear fine. But you've still got the problem of the East Coast piling onto the West Coast.
Also, Charlton are at Accrington same day...
Arriva Rail London
Chiltern Railways
Great Western
LNER
Greater Anglia
Southeastern

I object to your calling them tossers. These are people whose livelihoods are at risk and way down on the payscale compared to the real tossers who are painting them as the bad guys in this dispute. The whole point of a strike action is to cause a disruption otherwise there would be no point. |  |

The country is on its knees and they want to add to the worry. Tossers to me and most of the millions affected by their actions. No doubt with a left wing agenda to do as much damage to the government. | | | |

Regrettably I up-ticked your post in error.
The country is in the state it is not because people are exercising their right to protect their livelihoods, but of those higher up the pay scale at the companies they work at, and a totally incompetent government. | |

The country is in a mess purely because of a 2 year lockdown. Anyone who thinks that Diane Abbott and her cronies would have done a better job need their head examined. | | | |

Could they not just strike on weekdays thus affecting business and work rather than people trying to enjoy themselves on a Saturday ?

Every country has experienced the issues related to Covid. However, the UK’s issues are structural, deep rooted and pre-date Covid.
Anyone who thinks Johnson, Rees-Mogg et al have done a good job are the type of turkeys who would vote for Christmas. [Post edited 15 Jul 2022 12:22]

They’re talking about striking on the 18th and 20th August now too so might effect some people traveling for the Rotherham game. |  |

Like I say we're going to be dodging this all winter, and it won't just be the trains. | | | |

I still cling to the hope that the ASLEF train strike on 30 July will be pulled last minute, or a few days before. They often do. | | | |

So you want technology to take over?
What happens when technology takes over all jobs?
What then for your grandchildren?
Be very careful what you wish for. | | | |

In view of the research and resulting material written on the subject of AI, have you considered the massive impact AI will have over the next 5-10 years?
I suspect not, and glib comments potentially indicate a lack of appreciation of the problems that are ahead of us.
The world faces a massive challenge of integrating-in AI at a time when millions of jobs globally will be phased-out. Something of this nature needs careful planning; it requires massive re-training of people to be able to continue working out the rest of their working lives or, face huge economic hardships of losing jobs and not being able to get back into the workforce.
This is a global phenomenon that we’re on the cusp of, and which Covid has, if anything, expedited. It’s a challenge that the majority of workers worldwide are worryingly unaware of. The rail unions, are however, not unaware. They can see this in automated rail systems around the world, and in standing up for their members in terms of current conditions, longer term concerns over job reductions, and concerns over basic safety on the rail system, folks might be better off listening to the issues before rushing to judgment based on their own preconceived ideas, prejudices and, in some cases, ignorance.
Automated trains are coming, but given AI/blockchain technology are so advanced, no one’s job is truly safe. No one! | |

Given my current job is to automate tasks that people far more senior and educated than me don't really want to do.....I'll answer simply......Yes.
And by not employing Admin people to do these tasks anymore, we make the budget available to hire more Doctors and Nurses. | |
