  • Don't suppose anyone knows what, if any, "technological improvements" the unions are rejecting?

    I think there's a clip of our boy Micky Lynch correcting an MP and pointing out that most of the supposed technological improvements had been implemented already. Can't find any reference to what they actually are though.

  • Yeah that's the thing. On the one hand you've got basic Tories with no credibility giving sound bites, and on the other you have ML dismissing the point.

    What I can imagine is happening is there are a series of tech improvements the railways want, but the unions won't discuss them until a payrise is agreed to. Which is a good negotiation strategy, but I'm just curious about what the ask is.

  • Pantograph cameras and sensors, are a couple of things I recall from that interview. My recollection also is that ML said that the unions were responsible for their implementation.
