A LABOUR government is needed to ensure that safety-critical guards are retained on trains, the TSSA conference heard yesterday.
Delegates raised concerns over safety and access, particularly for disabled passengers, if guards are removed, accusing fat-cat rail bosses of putting profit over people.
Rail union RMT and drivers’ union Aslef have taken strike action on a number of networks to block the threats to guards.
A just transition to Great British Railways and a clean and safe railway for all is not only desirable but also necessary. MARYAM ESLAMDOUST explains
