Southern Railway strike called for 28th December

Train drivers on some of the country's busiest rail routes are to stage a 24-hour strike just after Christmas in a row over Bank Holiday pay.
Aslef said hundreds of its members at Southern Railways will walk out on December 28 after accusing the firm of refusing to pay anything extra for drivers working on that day.
The union warned of massive disruption to Southern's services, which run from London to the South Coast as well as throughout other areas of the South East.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

Use it the next day, or on alternative trains (Great Western to Brighton, then Thameslink?).I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0
