It's a shite job being stuck down a dark tunnel and the the drivers are probably to stupid and lazy to get challenging carrers so stick with a routine which consists of looking down dark tunnel's and being an annamus voice over the tannoy.
But anywho, they are entitled to good pay and working conditions as should most jobs such as bin men (underated). I think it's good to strike for better all round working conditions but to say train drivers want exemption from the resecssion is a bit strong.
If you really want to improve the London underground and bus services (although they are getting better with time); commuters should strike! Don't get the tube, walk or cycle or drive. Leave the tubes and buses empty! That'll make them rethink ticketing prices and time tables.
Saying that this morning on the way to work there were many studpid cyclist, peds and drivers and I don't know if I want to deal with them every morning.
