Virgin Train Strikes

I just got a message that Virgin Trains are on strike all weekend, which would be annoying, however on the website it says:

Virgin Trains are on strike 28th and 31st of April

thought i'd tell you in case it affects anyones plans for the weekend

ScotRail are doing the same. All services have been dramatically cut. I don't know how I will get home from work today...

I heard about this a week or two ago, as I was sposed to be making a 5 hour journey today. Now i have to travel at 6 in the morning tommorow cos of it. I don't think its just virgin trains, its basically every other operator, as I needed to use arriva and they were shafted!

Train services are always on strike. Why train to be a train driver in the first place if your gonna go on strike and not work.
