The RMT want the guard to be able to signal to at least signal to the driver when it's safe to close the doors. If you've ever been to a station like Poole you'll realise why.As a mere passenger and user of the service, the reports I've read has made it sound an awful lot like SWR has offered RMT exactly what they have asked for but SWR want the driver to be able to close the doors and RMT can't possibly have that for some reason. I assumed that was what happened now when the guard blew the whistle or stuck his paddle in the air anyway?
SWR put forward a plan allowing this which RMT agreed with weeks ago. SWR then withdrew their offer the following day.
You probably ought to ask SWR why they changed their minds of it wasn't a political decision to keep the strike going!
Doh! I seem to be repeating the post above, sorry.
