(08 Jun 2017, 8:48 pm)Adrian Driver only operation / one man operation on the railway is a bit of a hot topic at the moment, so it surprises me that we haven't got a thread. It has of course been the reason for several strikes on the TSGN franchise, Northern and others. ASLEF have tried to sell a deal to their members twice, and the other union, the RMT, appear to be fundamentally against it.

Thoughts? And vote above too.

In conversations and meetings with the powers that be at Northern, they're keen to point out that they're after DCO and the whole DOO doesn't apply to them.

I'm not convinced either way and feel that a guard/train manager operating the doors is something that should stay
