I hate to drag people back to the strikes, but it seems Northern will not be operating a single service in South Yorkshire on any of the strike days.

 

Only routes they are running below. Manchester with no services either, or Newcastle.

 

• Darlington - Saltburn
• Liverpool Lime Street - Alderley Edge
• York - Leeds
• Ilkley - Bradford Forster Square - Leeds
• Skipton - Bradford Forster Square - Leeds
• Leeds - Bradford Forster Square

 

 

 

Seems they have now decided to stretch to an hourly Leeds-Sheffield service

Very little expected to be running tomorrow and probably best not to rely on even them.

 

These are what seem to be currently planned for Sheffield;  https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:SHF/2022-06-21/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=pax-calls&order=wtt

Did any of the people on forum watch the tv play called sherwood last night some off the script rings very true ,   Parliament today bankers rise ,working men should take a drop in pay . Johnson blabbering on about skargill and Corbyn why won,t shaps sit in on meetings . Main union boss says most off the train drivers are in different union , it is mostly for the lower payed   Cleaners etc, teachers and barristers look as if they support strike , this is all about braking the unions thatcher had a good try . Blair bid very little to reverse any of thatcher policies I was never in union but as I have grown older see that they are essential to the ordinary man

It made me laugh that the unions are celebrating that Merseyrail agreed a 7% pay rise without the intervention of the government.

 

Yet just a few days ago they and the media were attacking the government for not doing enough and intervening!

Please quote me if I am wrong ,but the rmt was backing the Mersey rail on their strike . Not negotiating with them they got their 7 percent on their own . so no need for rmt or the government to get involved  but the government would not anyway

Johnson must have been gutted this dispute was sorted out. He desperately needs a summer of discontent to get his lying mug off the front pages.

Ironically the unions are doing him a favour

I doubt everyone else will go on strike in support of the train drivers, they get paid enough in the first place.
