The whole situation is ludicrous and almost beyond parody. GWR▸ "management" and the Unions should be locked in a room, have their heads repeatedly banged together & supplied with enough beer and sandwiches to keep them there until they get an agreement on this ridiculous Sunday issue....a few boots to the arse on both sides wouldn't go amiss either. I'm sure there wouldn't be a shortage of volunteers to deliver them.
Are you trying to create a strike? Or do you subscribe to the Genghis Khan school of diplomacy? I suggest that sort of pressure - the sort applied by
DfT» on the Southern dispute - would produce very similar results to that!
Also if you had been reading other posts on this site you would know that:
1) GWR have more drivers than they would need were it not for the accelerated training programme;
2) Drivers are already doing rest day working to undertake the training;
3) Making Sunday working part of contracted hours would require the recruitment of more drivers and it would take at least a year to train them even if they could all be trained at once.
So even if your approach got agreement it would not provide the instant solution you seek.
Much as I would like a solution by next Sunday it is not going to happen and it is far better that GWR pursue it in a manner that does not make the weekday services even worse than they are at the moment.
