As I gave up driving a few years ago the trains were vitally important to me.

However, with the WFH revolution now less so.

As such I am somewhat detached from the argument but I can see why the Union has concerns but it is highly unlikely that the train operating companies are going to offer anywhere near what is being demanded.

It will probably rumble on for a few months with a settlement that satisfies no one in the end.

Meanwhile services will be cut, prices will rise and what does run will be unreliable at best.

My glass is officially half empty today.
