Anyone who has been on a train late on a Saturday night with a drunken rabble digesting their football teams performance is grateful of the guards presence , the fact that he could , in reality , do very little if things got heated does not distract from the psychology .
The amount of money lost through industrial action over this issue would have paid the guard's wages for an awfully long time .
And what does the Minister in charge do ? **** all !
