Its called safety. Yes, there are many trains, that have drivers only. But this is why the Government doesn't want to get involved. So that Gova can run rings round the Union. This wont happen.

IF, the RMT and ASLEF pulled all there workforce out. You cannot run the railways. Its that simple

The government have stated that all franchises will have DOO trains written into them.The strikes are about lost membership when the guards are phased out when new franchises are awarded.The unions may have more sympathy if they where honest about the reasons.
