4. Just call their bluff – take service levels back to 1990s levels and have mass redundancies to go with it. Show these overpaid muppets who is in charge!

5. Just shut the railways down. They are poor value for money. Hundreds of £billions spent on just London links and for what, an inefficient costly waste of space. Use the land to improve the road system.

8. We’re nearly at autonomous driving, we’ve got driverless trains at Heathrow, Canary Wharf, Dubai Airport and other places. Progress would seem to suggest that driverless trains are inevitable. Technology will soon overtake the RMT – and the sooner the better!

13. I can understand why the nurses are striking. The expectation the public places on them has reached breaking point. But the railways and TFL are taking the piss, pushing the goodwill of the people too far. I’m fed up with these never ending rail strikes. It’s the same, selfish, militant mentality, holding the public to ransom, so they can get what they want by restricting the public from travelling to a to b, that destroyed the British car industry all those years ago. RMT doesn’t care about the public, but Mick Lynch acts like he’s a man of the people.
