The wife of guard Paul Yarwood told of her despair last night as he faces ruin (link below.)
http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2007/08/rail_guard_sacked_for_standing.html#more

He came to the rescue after a drunken passenger abused travellers and threatened staff with a broom at Colchester station.

But bosses at One Railway sacked him for gross misconduct , claiming CCTV showed him headbutting the man.

His dismissal comes despite an admission by the passenger that he was entirely to blame.

Paul is set to lose his home as he cannot pay the mortgage and will be hauled before a court this week charged with threatening behaviour.

The RMT union has held two strikes over the incident in June , supported by the public. Derek Monnery , of the Essex Rail Users' Federation passenger group , said: "Managers have to ask why the strikes were so strongly backed."

Eight hundred rail workers are to stage two one-day strikes in protest at the dismissal of the guard (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6981937.stm

RMT union members at One Railways will walk out on 15 and 17 September.

Lines in Essex , Suffolk , Norfolk , Herts and Cambridgeshire will be affected.

On strike days One Railways expect to operate an hourly service on the Norwich - London intercity services with some extra peak services instead of the usual half hourly service.

Local services from Ipswich and Norwich across Suffolk , Norfolk and Cambridgeshire are all unlikely to operate.

Southend - London services may experience some cancellations but it is hoped most services will operate.
