What is your opinion of the Southern Rail guard and driver strikes concerning the change to the guards role? Do you think that they probably should have seen this coming and that they will still have a role on the train or do you favor the argument concerning passenger safety?

EDIT: As a Tube Driver he is the only (wo)man on the train. On a normal train you would have a driver and a guard who would close and open the doors amongst other duties.

Thank you for that. Prior to living in London I used to live on the SWT Portsmouth-Waterloo line and all of the stations I used were manned for most, if not all of the day. I never saw it from that perspective with regards to fights and issues within the train so this does change my opinion with regards to passenger safety.
