Now why would i have a axe to grind when as you say and i quote " waving a batton once or twice an hour they don't concern you at all" unquote?
I have to ask now that you have mentioned it, how long will that last?

Any evidence that they are no plans to make them full DOO?
I can only base evidence on what is fact. London Overground told me that there are no plans to go DOO within the then current franchise agreement in March of 2013, in July 2013 they announced DOO will come in, by November 2013 only a handful were left until July 2014 when they were all gone.
Even you can see how quickly things move in the industry from saying NO to complete DOO in 16 months.

It'll last as long as ATW want it to, after all, that's who you work for isn't it?

We are a long way from single-manned IC trains - local commuter has had DOO for years. Believe what you will, as you've already decided some wibbley hearsay is the truth. But the 800/802s are not planned to go full DCO.

If gwr pull the plug on funding dispatch staff, atw wont have much to say.

Anyway time will tell if i am right or not.
