STEPHEN BOTTOMEY PARALEGAL
“I’m not really bothered on this occasion as it wasn’t my train line, however I do disagree with the strikes when the workers have already received above inflation rises. What about the people who have taken cuts and can’t get to work now?”

IMOGEN EBBS
MAPELEY ESTATES
“If it is purely due to pay then I don’t agree with it. They went into the job knowing how much they would be paid so I don’t understand how they can complain now. I think their decision to strike is wrong.”

MOHAN VIRDEE MARKETS MEDIA
“I think the train workers should go on strike on behalf of investment bankers. Bankers are the ones that should be complaining, because they have lost millions in pay recently.”
