Seriously, how do people manage to get this kind of crap into the news?
Oh dear, so the track workers might see some turds on the track... Wow. Sure, it's not the most pleasant, but it's nothing compared to what the blokes carrying out maintenance on the trains have to work with, because the underneath of the trains is absolutely caked in the stuff and they have to scrape it off to work on some components. It's a guaranteed daily ocurrence, as is coming across bits of dead animals and (not daily) human body parts, so for Gods sake have some perspective. I wonder how many of those track workers think twice about their dogs shitting in the street?
While I'm on about it, as for this being presented as a problem from only one train operator, it's wider than that. Pretty much every operator in this country has trains that still flush to the track (including the other 2 that say in that article they don't have). drokking MP's spouting off without checking the facts...
(sorry, rant over...)
have you been looking at Donald's search history again?
