Does it result in non lodging turns being longer than average to make your overall weekly hours worked average out, or do you have more working days to make up this time?
If you were to pick up a lodging turn on rest day work, do you get paid for 1 day, 2 days or some other agreement?
Day jobs are longer yes, London and back, Double Edinburgh, But you're doing a drive there and back, so that's bound to happen. But they aren't to bad.. it's not like you're chopping and changing trains mid-journey like other TOCs do.
You get paid for 2 days, as you're working two RDs
Good questions, also what happened if you need to use daily leave on a lodge turn job? Do you have to take both the days off?
I believe so, but I swap my lodge with someone who has two day jobs and then use the leave for a single day ... there's always a way around it I've only done it one or twice though.
Are lodging turns not counted as two separate duties? Ie two working days. So can't lodge in to a RD as such, your RD would be the day after you've worked back?
If I've understood this correctly, you are right. Of course, you could pick up a lodge (at your choice) where you're last day is spare and you're off lodge day is a RD and you'd get paid the RDW rate for the second day.
Thats up to you though, I don't do much RDW and I wouldn't do it for a lodge.
