@AslefD4DO @TUC_NEYH @GMBcharlotte @BFAWUOfficial @fbunational @NEUnion In closing @MickWhelanASLEF
"Thank you for coming to show your support for a driver who has been sacked for doing nothing wrong. He is the victim of a witch hunt. He has a completely clean safety of the line record. The company are liars and have lied throughout this dispute."

📣 Our solidarity rally officially started with ASLEF Hull Trains Lead Officer Nigel Roebuck @AslefD4DO addressing those gathered to show solidarity. #HullTrainsStrike

@sarahwoolley01 I've been saying the exact same things to folks I know particularly in the work place.
People are angry at being short changed & shafted.
Their anger should be directed upwards to the establishment class
Sadly, ye again the Far right has filled the void & blamed immigration

Fantastic, well done.
I've heard many, many stories over the years that should never have taken place.
Everyone involved in this deserves a massive pat on the back.
Over to the Operating companies to deliver this now.

Train drivers will finally have access to toilets at work. This is a huge win for ASLEF members and for dignity at work. #DignityForDrivers

@KymriskaDraken @ASLEFunion By building time away from the driving cab into our diagrams.

@ASLEFunion About time.
How is it going to work though? A potty in the cab?

@__DO7__ @railandroad @Heidi_Labour Or they do understand the industry & want the privateer mates to still line their pockets.
English

@railandroad @Heidi_Labour what is the point of re-nationalisation and GBR if you are going to grant open access to all and sundry. It really appears that those in charge have no real understanding of the industry!
English

We've approved limited additional open access passenger services on the East Coast Main Line from December 2025 🚆
These include more trains to Glasgow, Hull, Newcastle, Bradford, Wakefield and Seaham.

@BrianMcSporran Can you add me so I can DM you.
Cheers.

@lokiscottishrap Interesting....
I look forward to it.
I always found both you & Peter's honesty and passion inspiring.
You both never hide.

@Gavin_F_Brewis I agree with the sentiment comrade but most footballers are working class
Their ability to play a monetised sport allows them to earn shit loads.
There's loadsa instances where the media target footballers rather than the elite purley coz they're working class eg Marcus Rashford

@AlastairDalton 2/
It'll reduce the amount of cars on the road, so less road maintenance.
Helps us hit green targets ✅
Also helps reduce the strain on the NHS.
Less cars = less harmful emissions + fewer RTAs + a healthier society.
Only questions is why doesn't it kick in immediately?
English

@AlastairDalton 1/
TBF it ain't a challenge.
The railway shouldn't be judged by the fare box.
This will put more money in people's pockets which they'll spend and it'll be recycled again & again whilst being taxed.

@ASLEFunion Reading the comments 🙄
Any driver regardless of age needs to pass a battery of aptitude tests & a series of interviews .
Then go through an intensive training period followed by a rigorous passing out process
I'm pretty sure any 18 year old who's managed this is suitable
English

We welcome today's announcement to lower the train driving age from 20 to 18. Something that ASLEF has lobbied for, for many years.

@tigerfish4 Watch this space.
It'll put huge pressure on others to follow suit.

Success has many fathers...
@ASLEFunion at the forefront of this win, along with our sister TUs
This will have a huge, long lasting positive impact for our industry, communities &workers
Well done Kevin Lindsay & Jim Baxter! This victory cannot be understated
Keep on keepin on

@RMT_Scotland @RMTunion @TUG_SNP @ScottishCND Many,many times I've listened to or heard what Gordon has to say
I can't help but admire his clarity, passion & conviction of his beliefs.
Everyone that I know, who knows him speaks highly of him
Our paths will cross soon enough
Keep on, keepin on Comrade ✊🏽
