South West Trains to axe 480 jobs.
There are not enough trains running on our rail networks, which is the main reason each day we are packed like sardines into the coaches. On top of that we are charged ridiculously high fairs for the luxury of sniffing another persons armpits, or sitting on disgusting seats looking at grafitti on the windows and now we hear there will be 460 job cuts from South West Tains. That equals 74 services. The other day it was Southeastern railways. It’s totally insane. WHY?
Quoted from Reuters
South West Trains, run by train operator Stagecoach Group (SGC.L), said on Thursday it was to axe 480 jobs including managerial staff, blaming an expected fall in passenger numbers because of the Economic Downturn.
Total losses = 480
