Wrong. Of course they don't.

Wrong.

That's not "dealing" with them (and Drivers don't run their trains late :-)

That's still not "dealing" with them.

Wrong again.

Usually not and they're quite big windows - covered by blinds. Most
passengers do not see the Driver.

Some may and most of them couldn't tell the difference between a Driver a
guard and an SA.

Amazing then how it didn't happen before the uniform came in 3 months ago -
back when Drivers could wear what they liked.

It's just so anal bosses can get their kicks. Probablly wanted to be firemen
were they were kids. It's just window dressing to try to fool the public
that they're doing something when they're realling slashing and burning. If
they get Drivers into uniforms that look like station staff, that's who
people will thgink they are - and they do.

Only an idiot would leave a job they liked because a moron was in charge.

Can't, the Masons (management) and the Labor Party are still using it. The
worker barley gets a look-in.
