Labour considers a plan where everyone would work 4 days but be paid for 5 with bosses required to pass on efficiency savings from new technology to workers
They people are absolutely clueless. But then these are also the people who want to ban automated trains (even if they are already automated).
Guards on trains are necessary because:
* They help the blind and mobility-impaired to get on and off trains * They enable tickets to be sold to those who have not purchased one * They act as witnesses to violent events and peacekeepers to prevent them * They provide aid to the distressed * They enable the train to leave the station safely by spotting problems.
Taking guards away from trains is like taking emergency parachutes away from parachutists.
So the Vancouver metro system that has neither drivers or guards fails health and safety
I was talking about the common-or-garden trains, not metro/tube services, whose short journey times and frequent stops put them in a different category.
Driverless trains are the future
...which doesn't mean they're good
I am perfectly happy with them. Far more so then cars
Yes, but cars run really badly on rails. You have to take the tyres off. And then Marty McFly chases you on a steam train.

Overall 40% of all UK voters back a hard Brexit and no deal without full control over borders, laws and trade deals, 31% want a second referendum on whether to go ahead with Brexit once we know its terms and 17% of voters want a compromise deal with the EU that honours the referendum result but ensure trade continues smoothly with the EU even if following a common set of rules and regulations set by the EU making the latter the key swing voters.
Those who want a compromise deal with the EU are a plurality amongst Tory Remain voters while hard Brexiteers make up a majority of Tory and Labour Leave voters and those who want a second referendum make up a majority of Labour Remain voters
Who are those 17% going to blame, if no compromise deal can be done with the EU? If they split 12:5 to accepting we had no alternative than Hard Brexit, then we have the same % accepting Hard Brexit as voted for Brexit in the Referendum......
If we compromise there will be a deal. The question is the wrong way round. It should be: under what circumstances will we compromise and accept something worse than we had before?
Why have the number of top level Scottish golfers declined in the way that top level Scottish footballers have ?
Expansion of the game and money. 1) Scottish golfers simply make up a far smaller proportion of the overall golfing population 2) It's much more expensive to play the game.
