I'd nationalise the whole think and build in a no strike clause with independent pay bodies as its a core part of other people's lives that has to operate so others can travel and earn .

This is a cynical move, just as the suffering public that gave come hrough Covid some on just Furlough to be hit again by workers that were on 100% pay ..

I'd open the barriers let the public and seek train driving skills for those key areas .

In London hospital staff paitents rely heavily on these services as the only quick way into hospitals.

Maybe the tube operator drivers should take a pay freeze from thier generous 50k (plus )wage to fund the lower paid staff who are on a third of that 🤔
