RMT strikes on ScotRail: Saturday 22nd and Monday 24th February Saturday 8th and Monday 10th March The "usual" strike service will operate. This affects ScotRail ONLY. Virgin Cross Country, West Coast and GNER services are not affected. "0345 48 49 50" might give you information, however judging by previous experience I wouldn't count on it. These strikes are happening so often that I 'm thinking of asking the RMT and Railtrack to get togethor and publish the information in the National timetable. - David A Stewart - David.Stewart@ee.ed.ac.uk (Int +44) 131 650 5647

Good to see that railway staff are protecting their future by encouraging the use of the railways. ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBMww2qMoy0yij3IvtAQEjtQMArgR8KOkbqe6062OHSjkmEQyFIK5bTDGh WLJpCQc6tU2cjI7+I933Hm8oRsei6BsgvouIB+pDfZ5XKUx1erDVFJNUfgXvpD/C KkOQWz8qDxoLx/wLENx0SPp50GdLUDvP =VWmy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Why don't the staff do so by refusing to sell or check tickets in the area:
it'd hit their bosses where it hurts, and I'd sure be up there supporting
them :-)

At the end of the year, if the books didn't balance they'd make some staff redundant. Guess who they would be? There's a myth amongst the economically naive that you can distinguish ``state'' money and ``bosses'' money, and refusing to pay organisations only affects those heads. Rather like the Poll Tax Defaulters, inter alia, caused hardship for the very people they were claiming to support by stripping services of funds, stopping money flowing into a business merely forces it to reduce costs. ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBMxr3fMoy0yij3IvtAQF/3wL+LstY3NZGz+2+bpjBC3PafXXhWYwgfM9j 8DHSapqwBmRINbyOZVFcR5HV8S39CSlp8ryDH7RTftAlFu8gL5PawWJa8JfpW+Gx hORI6+sBQDYYHTAsWot5CFpIuK3vkq9D =aKNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
