And i have to say that we went through this altered role thing in Vic
and the guards would not have a bar of it "we categorically refuse to
rove through the train we will get killed" 
"parcels no if we lift parcels we will hurt our backs"
So in the end management said what is your role??
And they said we close the doors and observe out of platforms!!
and management said the driver can do that good bye!!!!
PS i never made any bets with you .
