A 35-hour, four-day week for drivers is nearly an industry standard, agreed by most Train Operating Companies in London, including Southern, South West Trains, Southeastern and TfL-controlled London Overground.
LU has tried to pretend that our demand for a 32 hour, four-day week is ridiculous, but it's LU, not our demands, that are out of step.
Workers in our industry are all striving for the same - and many TOCs are taking steps in the right direction. We should be part of the fight to reduce hours, working days and fatigue across our industry.
