A Tory MP blamed Mick Lynch for the state of the trains and went totally off the rails
The railways have been rubbish in this country ever since we can remember but Conservative MP Greg Smith reckons he’s identified the real problem with the pisspoor train service.
It’s RMT leader Mick Lynch.
The rail union boss was appearing before MPs on Wednesday with no end in sight to the industrial action gripping the network.
And we mention this exchange because Smith thought he had a slam dunk only for Lynch’s response to send him totally off the rails.

No more questions, chair.
Tory MP Greg Smith asks RMT's Mick Lynch whether strikes are driving people away from railway. 🚆
Lynch: "When we're on strike or when we're not on strike? What about the days when we're not on strike, when it's absolutely useless as well? It's your government's fault".

We’re being driven (like what I did there 😜) away from the railways because it’s not value for money, crowded due to reduced capacity and unreliable. Nothing to do with strikes. Nationalise it now!

I’d argue the strike days are more convenient – at least I know my train isn’t running, makes a nice change from the majority of times I turn up and its heavily delayed or cancelled
