Strike to take place from 6pm 24th December to 6AM 27th
December.
Now, while that means there will be trains they will be severely
disrupted for Big Game

Lets not forget the rest of us workers.
I want a 20% - 25% pay rise to make up for shortfalls in
previous years and to keep up with inflation.
. . and, I want this to apply to all other workers in the
private sector who have had to struggle with no/amall pay
increases over the last few years.
. . and - I want inflation brought down to .5%
. . and - I want rail fairs to be taken back to pre-covid
levels
. . and - I want taxes to be brought down.
. . and - I wan't beer/pub prices to go back to 2018 prices
. . and - I want my fuel bills frozen to last year's level.
. . . for a start, anyway.

There or four years ago there were coaches run. I think Quins
did organise them. Does anyone have any links and hence could
suggest this?
If not could QUINSSA do something? Asking a lot at short notice
I know.
Alternative to trains will be to drive and park away from the
ground and walk a mile or so.

Do you know how much these train staff are paid? Last time I
checked minimum was around £39k and the drivers nearer £60k

I don't see this making much difference. Apart from the odd
Airport Express the trains don't run on the 25th/26th anyway and
SWR normally finish early on Xmas Eve.

It isn't the drivers striking. It is Network Rail members who
earn a LOT less than £60k. The average salary of an RMT member
is £31k.

Then you've nothing to worry about from the strike. You're
basically saying it'll make no difference.
