What people don't realise, anything can happen in a tunnel, I know its a well paid job and l have done a few, but one thing for certain l would not be and that is driving trains.
To start with Arthur the drivers don't sit there for 8 hrs and so what if someone does jump out in front of them ,sad i know ,but no different from any other driver .Many workers don't even get overtime rates anymore and haven't for years .All they are going to achieve is upsetting the public when they strike and pushing prices up so YOU HAVE TO PAY MORE .They are greedy blackmailers
