An unofficial wildcat strike by drivers on Glasgow's underground rail service on Wednesday was met by firm action by Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) who immediately sacked the strikers. SPT said that they would recruit and train new drivers while operating a skeleton service using managers and drivers who had not gone on strike. But that was clearly not viable as it would have taken several months to train new staff. So after negotiations with the drivers' trade union, the men were re-instated, allowing the underground to get back to normal.

In fact a couple of years ago I saw a ned pummelling one of them for a laugh which was quickly choked off when he got a huge cloud of dust in his face. Served him bloody well right of course but it does make you wonder what we're parking our bums on.

Bring back the 19
And refurb the Subway, where possible open up the stations to natural light again. Most are claustrophobic & dingy (& niffy ).
