>>1041300>god damn southern rail are so uselessSouthern rail is essentially a fake sub brand. It is owned by Go-Ahead.
http://www.go-ahead.com/en/our-companies/rail.htmlGo Ahead runs a company called "GTR" which in turn runs a company called "Southern". This is to protect their parent company's repuation.
Furthermore, the government worker who awarded Go-Ahead the Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern, and Gatwick Express franchises RUNS A COMPANY WHO WAS AT THE TIME PROVIDING CONSULTING SERVICES TO GO-AHEAD. So it's all rigged and a mighty corrupt scam.
>fucking tory government handing over subsidies instead of kicking southern's arse over being cunts.Now, the government WANTS this to happen. Taxpayers are paying for the strikes NOT GO-AHEAD GTR SOUTHERN. Go-Ahead is only there to take PROFITS and us the taxpayers can get fucked with the LOSSES. Back to the point though - Southern as a rail route is profitable and makes around £30m a year even with guards. The government is just greedy so wants to get rid of guards.
