There was a 99% vote for #srike action (on a ballot turnout of 77%) by London Underground members of my #ASLEFunion.

Finn Brennan, full-time ASLEF District Organiser on the Underground, gave a very comprehensive interview on LBC earlier today.

Sadly, I don't have a transcript of the interview available, however, I am also sharing a link to the LBC article published today that summarises some of the points raised by Finn today.

Exciting plans to relink Bideford Tarka Line railway with rest of Devon

Wonderful if this goes ahead. So many areas of Devon & Cornwall completely cut off since their railways closed in the 1960s.

Pricing will never be simple if it's based on where and when.

Do I smell a hidden agenda here, to ramp up the price of rail travel in the Uk still further by making the price of 2 single journeys more expensive than 1 return journey?

Rail travel in the UK is already one of the most expensive in the world, with trains overcrowded and dirty.
