Fire the lot. I have seen engine drivers read newspapers while the train is moving. Most drivers on long distance night mails sleep. Get new drivers and get the train service back on track.

Ban the union first and everything will fall in place. Please train the the army to handle trains... i am sure they will do 1000 times better jobs than these jokers
