Also secondary strike action is outlawed in the UK, so if they were asked to do it, and it's within the remit of their job description or a reasonable request, they'd have little choice unfortunately.
It has knacked my plans up for the week big style, but like you I agree about thr reasons behind it.
It is just unfortunate that punters on the metro are hit, when a tiny portion of their network is being affected.
