You keep going on about how much drivers are paid yet YOU are paid a damn slight more for doing less, have more perks, less accountability, no unsociable hours, and get weekends off… and what’s worse is you manipulate facts - it’s also about condition not just pay. Plz resign!

If track is now life expired, one must ask why this wasn’t replaced in the previous 10 month closure. Seems it was predictable and could have saved further closures. Equally with the recommissioning of the passing loop at Brading, could the footbridge not have been done then?
