Industrial action by unions for Southern Rail is hurting commuters in London because let's face it there is a problem. Southern Rail bosses are doing nothing to solve it and they are backed by the government while still posting profits. Commuters don't really understand it all but what they do know is they are paying good money for not getting to work on time. We are not choosing sides. If industrial action is a must then let it be in the format where trains run on time and staff are present but the barriers are opened so commuters are not paying for this dispute. It will hurt where it really matters and the working class will get to work on time. That's what commuters really care about ... why should we suffer in all this?
