Ever been on a train where it drops off a few carriages? ;-)

No I'm too young.

Still quite common round here.

That's splitting train, not yer actual slip coach.

Still takes time. Even with the conductor helping out. Something those
wanting driver only trains like to ignore.

That's what the platform staff are for.

What platform staff? And would it make more sense to have someone kicking
their heels on a quiet station platform just for the purpose of helping
out when a train splits? Rather than having a guard on the train who can
also check tickets, etc?

That's why driver only operated trains will still have conductors - some
thing which your fellow thickos it the RMT don't seem to be able to get
their heads round.
