making the trains run on time

For the last two years or more, there has been near-constant disruption on Dublin's commuter rail service (the DART) because they've been extending platforms to accomodate larger trains. Now that they're almost finished, the drivers are threatening to go on strike unless they're paid more money for driving the longer trains. Gah.

And why would a longer train constitute more pay? It's not as if the drivers have to get out and push when it breaks down. Dumbasses...yeah this is your brother and I ain't logged in.
