Title: Nailsea ticket office strike Post by: John R on May 11, 2010, 09:36:45 A handwritten sign at the ticket office greeted passengers this morning saying that due to a strike it would not be manned. Below, scrawled in felt pen on the paintwork, an even more scruffy sign stating that whilst the ticket office is not manned no London trains would call. Signed "The Station Master" (Not true, trains did call).
What's going on? Title: Re: Nailsea ticket office strike Post by: devon_metro on May 11, 2010, 16:39:57 Sounds like a form of unofficial strike action to me, perhaps FGW were unaware!
Title: Re: Nailsea ticket office strike Post by: eightf48544 on May 11, 2010, 18:28:15 Who would be on strike? Have you got a regular person at Nailsea?Can't see one member of staff striking making much difference to FGW other than having to sack them.
Or are the passengers fed up with no one turning up they've written the notes to stir things up? Or is it Ground Hog day again? Title: Re: Nailsea ticket office strike Post by: John R on May 11, 2010, 21:06:21 It did occur to me that it might be a one-person protest.
