With regards to the changing of the days, it wouldn't be worth holding a strike if there was no impact to passengers. It's obviously designed to get Arriva round the table and improve their offer. The fact that Arriva feels able to absorb the cost of so many strike days suggests the money is there to meet the deal to Unions want.

That's probably the whole idea. They can say with hand on heart that they have restored some services, but with minimal benefit to passengers thus maximum embarrassment to Arriva management.
