If you read that then you will clearly see what Bob Crow is talking about, The new company can invest, but in what everything is already in the pipeline, Bob Crow is defending his members, all new companies come in and streamline and get rid of any dead wood.

The catering on the trains is to be cut, l can remember last time l went to Glasgo, there was no buffet car due to a shortage of staff, and this precisely what will happen now, cut back in staff etc.

What we need is a train service that you can rely on, stations that are well protected when the trains are running.

I think from what l have heard is that the new company will come in and just carry as usual but will make severe cutbacks to make more money and still increase prices.
Any chance that just once you could link to the actual story?
