Teachers have jumped in with a strike as well.

They should be banned from striking

What time you going? There are some trains running.
My daughter went to Birmingham on Tuesday by train when there was a strike and will be travelling today too.

getting back will likely be a problem
Otis

Yes. Just alluded to that
He will be fine going. Just won't be able to get back unless he gets the X1 bus.

They re running to Birmingham about every 15-20 mins.
Just bear in mind the last train is at 18.00
So, actually, I don't think it will be much use to you. Unless you aren't coming back of course.
Oh are they still running OK to get there?
Yeah that's a bit early, don't fancy an Uber. Never got the bus from Brum before, does it just go direct or stop off everywhere and take hours?

Not through choice. Through necessity.

You could consider National Express from Digbeth, which takes about 35mins. Might still be a bit early at 9pm. About £5

News to me considering I’m a union rep and have heard no such talk from above

Worth looking at Megabus as well

Cheers, National Express seems pretty good. Might be an option even when the train is back on to be honest.

I’m in the other one but neither has actually called a strike ballot from what I see.

She probably hasn't had 10 pints though.

Umm....
She is 17 and was telling me on Father's Day that she was blind drunk a about a year and a half ago, after drinking everything on offer and she threw up in the pub, threw up over her boyfriend's best friend, threw up in the Uber and then threw up at her boyfriend's house.
I think it may well have been the equivalent of 10 pints.

Fair play to her! Have to experience those things.
Boyfriend though? Fuck that, get him dealt with.

It's her third boyfriend she's on now.
To be fair, this one I really like. Seems a really decent lad. They do seem very well matched.
