STRIKE APOCALYPSE!
The ZX world saw unprecedented levels of industrial action in December. We spoke to Mick Lunch, Arch-Duke of the Railway Union - "We will continue to fight for the pay, conditions and jobs of our members, and we'll be doing it at Christmas. No I'm not a grinch". The Prime Minister, whoever that is this week, said "These strikes are a disgrace. Carlisle PowerBox is in chaos, Southern Belle hasn't moved since October, the Express has been well and truly stopped, and there are Ninjas sitting around idle on level 2 of Dragon Ninja. Nurses, Posties and On the Buses also took industrial action. Most specchums are familiar with trains from playing Stop the Express or Dragon Ninja, but believe it or not, trains aren't all about standing on top of a rapidly moving carriage, dodging obstacles and punching people in the face. No, trains also fulfil the more mundane and quotidian purpose of getting from A to B. That's why we need timetables, teutonic levels of organisation and most of all - it's why we need POWERBOX!
