RMT protest driver only operation
Old Palace Yard, Westminster, London. Wed 26 Apr 2017
DPAC supports the RMT because disabled people rely on guards to travel on
trains
THis is a RMT national protest in support of staff on Southern, which
they and the government see as a test case
Already some trains have only a driver, but these are small units
with only one or two coaches - not the 8 or 12 car
trains which are common on the Southern. Trains on simple systems
like the DLR run without drivers, but they
need staff to look after passengers - and to drive in emergencies
or when engineering work makes it necessary
Trains are getting busier with more passengers and longer trains.
We need to keep staff on them for safety
