SIR - The RMT trade union has been ruining the Saturdays evenings of Northern Rail’s long suffering customers for what seems an eternity. To complete the perfect storm for the public in Keighley and district on Saturday, December 22, Unite members employed by Transdev walked out. Most of their local services ceased before 18.00 hours. This included my own and as a result I had a three-mile walk home along the canal from Riddesden to Silsden.

Both unions are ‘flogging a dead horse’ and not furthering their causes one inch. They are simply causing unnecessary hardship to the travelling public. In some cases causing people to lose income by not being able attend work.
