I used to work this pattern, loved it, rest days following early shift and starting back after rest to a late, always 10.5 hours between shifts so it worked well for me. The least fatiguing shift pattern I ever worked. I couldn't cope with late, rest early, Just could not get my sleep pattern...

I do agree that internals have a better chance of getting the job, however this is not because of the interveiwing but because of knowledge that internal procedures. anyone who has worked on the operational side has a good idea of what a line controller does and what they need to know...

I can never work out why "popular" cafes and fish and chip shops keep closing. Dread to think how little trade the unpopular ones get.

you know you are getting older when you think this. :D

I am not sure what would be classed as a line but the route between Rickmansworth and Watford on the underground qualifies in terms of both frequency and passenger numbers.

Don't know where you're based, but it seems surprising that a town with all the above doesn't have at least one Schuh, Office, Deichmann, Clarks, Wynsors or Shoezone nearby. Or Hotter :D

You do not actually lose your C1 if you let it go, you can reapply, with the medical forms if you decide to renew in the future.

Does anyone know what passenger numbers to Lands End are like compared with last year and if the lack of open toppers is affecting visitor numbers to the attractions in the area.

So I am not the only one, I had a National 2 with the same issue, fortunately I was only moving slowly and got it out of gear and stopped, no problem, the exhaust created a hole in the road however. There was no external fuel cut off on a national 2 which seemed wierd.

I saw a similar situation in Sainsburys a few months back, the customer took a pic of the member of staff and told them that this was going on a review forum with details of the dispute, no idea if it did but it changed the attitude of the staff member.

Nelson was another which is no more.

Also do not forget to check in at Heysham, even though you have a ticket if you are not checked in by the required time your place may go to someone else, I have seen this happen with the Ben when there were a few coaches travelling, not sure if there is any risk with the new ship. Recommend...

I think this timetable is much better as well, a large majority of passengers from either end are travelling into Blackpool, so a station service suits many of them, Timetabling would not allow services running through via the station without either long stays at the station or irregular...

suggest that you immediately contact solicitors, they may offer a partial refund, Nothing to lose.

Possibly this response is too late but I if you have not got a copy of the Letter the letter I would be inclined to write or email beginning your letter with, I was wondering if it would be possible to let me have, etc.
