Description

Angela Rippon Drivetime Show. Mark Phillips reports from Marylebone Station, one of the few train stations with services still running (on the Chiltern line) as signal workers strike over pay. Phillips interviews Mike Bateman from Chiltern Lines, and Mike Dalton from Railtrack on the technology allowing them to reduce manpower needed, the proportion of services running and number of passengers. Angela Rippon asks what will happen the following morning when the trains are scattered around London.
