I’ve not heard much from my favourite retard Richard Tracey for a while but he’s back with another boneheaded idea that simply demonstrates how detached from reality his brain is.  His latest wheeze is that recently retired Tube workers could be drafted in to staff a skeleton service on strike days and he even has numbers, saying that 364 train drivers have retired in the last five years.  The obvious problem is that our licences are only valid if we’ve worked a given stock on a specific line in the last six months, after that we’d need a refresher course before we could be allowed back onto the trains on our own and that would have to be conducted by the IOps who are currently working to rule like the rest of the TOps.  On top of that all the retirees would have been union members while they were working and might still be in the union so they would be unlikely to want to help break the strike.  Bless his tiny pointed head.....
