    The safety case is not as cut and dried as you seem to think. 46% of the signallers themselves voted against strike action. Perhaps that is why they needed votes from non-existent staff.

    It is not rocket science to conduct a legal ballot.

    Now they'll go on strike at some time rather less convenient for me.

    Train strike off

    Rail strike plans cancelled after court injunction

    That's what happens when you let dumb f***ers organise a strike vote.

    My favourite was the vote from a signal box that hasn't been used for decades, and was burnt down over a year ago.
