Rail progressives' conference cancelled - because of rail strike

 Clearly there are no Railfuture (Rf) members among the higher echelons of the rail unions - and there should be. Railfuture has announced:

"A rail strike involving train drivers and signallers has been called for the day of the conference (15 September). Because some of the organisers, speakers and those who had booked were relying upon the train, Railfuture has reluctantly decided to postpone the event until March or April 2023, when hopefully industrial action will have ended.[...]

"How ironic that Rf’s Annual Conference in Leeds on 15 September on the Turning Point for the Railway has had to be postponed until March or April next year due to industrial action, as any turn will be for the worse. The unions think they have the Government over a barrel, but the barrel is in danger of going over Niagara Falls, with any gains in the short-term funded by cancelling long-term projects."
