Isn’t that what Regan did in the States to the air traffic
controllers in the 80’s? Seemed to work okay then.

Yes but didn't he use military air traffic controllers to keep
the planes flying. Currently, I don't think we've many soldiers
never mind any who can drive trains.

Forgive me if I am wrong BUT until the muppets that award the
train franchises changed it from SWT to SWR (the same company
that runs Southern) in August 2017 the service was OK with
limited issues but now we are having the same issues that
Southern had with strikes over removal of guards, now don't want
to be cynical but I find that amazing that these strikes started
happening......
Why o why did they change the Franchisee (probably money!) will
they never learn? (Rhetorical!)

Nah Govia owns Southern. First Group owns SWR (with a whack of
Chinese govt cash as well) after taking over from Stagecoach
when it failed to negotiate a contract extension.

I'd like to point out I only know this because I wanted to make
sure I knew who to be angry at.
