They are delayed when they do run. It's a joke, people are sick to death of them
Uk government need to take responsibility to sort this out!
They are literally paying to keep strikes going
I think it was Sir Ernest Harrison that said anyone worth the job would be contracting, or words along those line. I have no idea why a train driver thinks he/she/it, is worth more than a nurse, that is one for the respective unions to fight out, but my gut feels is if a rail worker thinks driving a train is a skilled job they should look at how fast a 3 year old with no knowledge of how to spell can master a bicycle in a matter of a week or so. I think it comes down to greed and I also think Sadiq Khan has a large portion of blame by effectively forcing the less well off onto a transport system that just does not work and compromises the lives of the publics ability to get around London. It is not just the London thing, more about this senseless attitude some mayors have
What a lot of nonsense!
Absolute rubbish.
Over 95% of people who apply fail the entry assessments and psychometric tests. Before writing anymore essays full of nonsense educate yourself.
£65k? They are already on more than enough.
Holding the country to ransom?
As per the overpaid Tory MP's who are holding the country to ransom with this utter shambolic excuse of a government.
and major perks
I don't even use the train because there so bad.
*they're
@@warnpassion Shut up
They get paid plenty.
So do lots of people so what?
@@royboy565 So they should get back to work.
@@RaRa-eu9mwNo they should carry on striking until the govt start negotiating.
X2 more than that job is really worth.
If they haven't had a pay rise for five years does that mean they were being paid 65k then??
No.
Not all train drivers are currently on £60k, people have heard the average salary figures and used this as a stick to beat train drivers with. Just because most of them earn a decent wage and have worked hard to get themselves that role it doesn’t mean that their salaries should just stand still whilst everyone else in the country catches up. If people want that salary and think they can do the job then apply, stats show over 95% don’t get through the entry assessments.
@@thecornedbeefcouncil9792The world's highest paid train drivers.
@user-sf7kl9uh7k not even close, Australia, Norway, Sweden, just to name the ones I personally know. In Norway basic wage is over £100k at most companies
@@xaiano794 They're the highest paid of the G7, with the worst service. Medical consultant wages for unskilled work. No, no, no
Automate the entire rail system. More reliable than humans. Other countries have done it successfully.
Wait until we get automated trains on auto pilot like Japan 😂.
Keep it in London!
Why won't the Union Barons like Whelan and Lynch put the pay offers to the ballot , are they scared the offers will be accepted thus taking away their excuse to make the public suffer .
Mick Whelan is a national treasure
Labour will deal with their GREED
Another Arthur scargill
£65k is the average salary for a train driver. Rail companies should train up monkeys to drive the trains instead. A bus driver has a more difficult job and gets paid no where near £65k. Train drivers are delusional to believe that their skill set deserves this pay level. Rail companies need to innovate or train their way out of this blackmail by existing drivers.
Is Kay Burley pretending to be thick or is it genuine?
No Train Operators have implemented minimum service levels so why would ASLEF voluntarily abide by it when it’s not up to the Union?
i was a recent convert to commuting by rail and found it a revelation. .now thanks to the unions im back in the car. to say im peed off with people on well over double my income wanting more just because they havent had a rise for a while . would be putting it mildly. its like going back to the days of Red Robbo at leyland gobbing off while the company slowly collapses .i work in an industry where most are porly paid skilled workers and pay rises might happen once a decade(yes really) but somehow we can live on what we get so what makes railworkers a special case?
Mick Whelan gets paid £151,000 pounds a year, the train drivers are asking for 20k more than I get paid, the cost of a train ticket needs to go down not up. I haven't had a pay rise, the country hasn't had a pay rise. deal with it!
What union leaders get has nothing to do with negotiations on pay and conditions with the rail companies.
Why do train drivers go on strike when they are paid so well?
They are paid well because they go on strike.
UNIONISE.
Because they keep refusing it lol
Its a total joke this every week
Theres plenty other people out there that would love the wage they get.
I'm sure so why don't they learn to drive a train?
Most middle class people with two brain cells can work from home . The industry is dying and these cushty over unionised pack of clunts can’t handle it . 😂😂 aslef haven’t achieved anything in 18months . Get back to work and stop being so precious
Instead of moaning about it and being bitter towards train drivers, apply for the job. It’s open to everyone.
@@thecornedbeefcouncil9792 its the train drivers always moaning and p*ssing everyone off by striking every damn week. They need to find new jobs if rhey think 60 odd grand isn’t enough.
Maybe they should try and get a job on Sky News with Kay and get far more money than any train drivers get.
65k a year for a train driver?? This is insanely good salary. Research technicians who do the most difficult and important research for world-class UK universities even won't earn half of 65k annually. Clinical scientists in NHS, who usually have a PhD in life science or MBBCh in addition to a 3.5 years on the job training with an additional professional master degree would only earn half of 65k per year.
What other people earn is irrelevant.
Very true.
We live in a market lead economy. If that's how much a Train Driver costs that's how much it costs. Don't like it? Good luck changing the economy of the UK.
It is relevant because they’re striking over pay

Train ops on 65k
Greed
Cheaper to fly - give the money to the needy
#GeneralElectionNow
Interesting that no one is shocked by the huge amounts of profit of these companies, as if this company deserves everything... and if workers want to have a decent life, they get slapped in the face..😢😢😢😢
If 65k a year isn’t a ‘decent life’ I don’t know what is
@@NatalyaBliss But for Corporations, which is the limit of decency, how many billions are they entitled to🤦♂️
@@fintamaria2429How much more are the highest paid rail workers in the world entitled to?
I am in a Union.I can see both sides of the Debate.I am sure both the Union
and the Government agree on somethings.What I can follow it is the Pay,
Working Conditions and other Main Issues that need to be sorted out.
The Government must listen to the Union.The Government must
come up with the goods.The Union must negotiate with the Government.
❤️🙏🏻❤️.
Get back to work and stop whinging . Most of us in the real world haven’t had pay rises for f****g years either . Except we’re not couched and molly coddled by a sacred union

I would like to donate my £8500 pa OAP to their strike fund
We have about as much chance of the Torries solving this , as my Cat 🐈 singing opera like Pavarotti
Il start training my cat 🐈⬛ see what happens first
O sole meowwww
Lol 😂
Actually I've met your cat, Mr Gullet, nice chap.
Why are we paying a Government to do nothing! Do they really expect to get reelected .. or are they holding out for a breakthrough just before the next election 😡
Eat bugs. Own nothing. Get microchipped. Don't take the train.
Why does this host always look so pissed off?
Because she's 'well ard mate'.
Because she's only getting a couple of hundred grand a year and thinks she's worth at least half a million.
