Well you are that one person in the depot that can start an argument in an empty room o_O :D

If you want intense metro work , London Overground are now the highest paid company after Eurostar.

Yes but not guaranteed

Because it's not about Sundays , but good point bringing them up. Part of the problem is that there are different Sunday rules. 1 : some TOCs it's part of the working week . 2: some it's an extra day and overtime . 3: some you can opt out . So let's say ASLEF accepted the payrise which is a...

Probably in the early days when many trains didn't have anywhere near the equipment and went slow. I mean if I showed someone how to drive a train and not much else they could probably do it, but to not have an incident would require a very much slower speed as you can't drive on site.

The fact that the ex colleague wasn't stuck during a strike but an overtime ban says it all. Even if we weren't striking she would have been inconvenienced. But I guess people think we aren't allowed days off and we should work them too . It's overtime and sometimes we would rather be with...

Yes I wrote that wrong. They were offered the chance but 850 came back ( many retired etc )Btw they were employed by the federal government and had sworn an oath not to strike and indeed striking was illegal officially for them. Train drivers here haven't sworn that oath and striking isn't...

To be fair , what do you expect staff to do. I know many train managers getting hacked off with people who are anti social and those kinds of people will abuse the staff too. People on here complain about rent a cop security and the police are stretched and unless the person or people are...

Well they might think Reagan was right, but it massively backfired on him. Took many years to get up to speed , over ten I believe and most of the fired air traffic controllers were re hired.

Aren't the engines also for when there might be problems with the OLE and also for the Manton diversion.

Where are you based. There are tables and benches between Wellingborough and Kettering , close to the line.

They stop some of the ic at Luton airport parkway. Not a lot admittedly.

Does that apply/are they fitted to non UK vehicles.

Not a bad package for a depot driver , I'm almost tempted.

Also with you bringing up vans. A van can have a speed limit ten miles an hour less than cars , unless car derived and also over two tonnes laden. Most transit drivers seem oblivious to that.

I agree. Pretty much every taxi I get to or from London does it and it amuses me. I do wonder if I should say something.

I'm putting that plate on my 360 :D

Well perhaps if the government wakes up or hands the reigns back. Or maybe a change of government , but who knows.

Probably not. Quite a fair chance they might not enter service until the driver pay and terms and conditions dispute is resolved either.

No . Absolutely not :frown:
