From what I saw, it is only track engineers. Correct me if I am wrong.

I think we are aware that we can use those things that they call buses. But that's not the point as you well know. I am pointing out the possible disruption it could cause for our day out at Wembley - buses or no buses.

No fought was given to the O's and Fydle, playing on the 19th at Wembely by the RMT Executive as is it likely we are not aware that there is final on the next day after the FA cup final.

Safety should be paramount for any workers I agree with there walkout

Sorry it disrupts your plans but I doubt you would be moaning if it was a non O’s game

I'd rather a strike at the weekend, disrupting my travel to a football game, than during the week which would disrupt my travel to work.

When you are nearly 80 it gets a bit more difficult. We have a couple of less mobile pensioners coming with us.

Back in my younger days I walked from central London to Wembley to watch England play Scotland.
Well worth it we hammered the Jocks 5-1

Might have been a tube strike too or just some other industrial action, bit of it about then
