Should trains have CCTV fitted to monitor what’s happening in the cab?

OK I'll chuck my two'penth,

Unfortunately my FOC are trialling this. My argument being :-

When Q-tron (black box) was installed. We were told "This is an entirely passive system, that would only be used in the event of an incident " ..... Guess what it is now used as part of our assessments and can be downloaded as an when manager wants.
So basically the trust has gone, what is the actual intention ??

Our FOC mentions for fatigue !! OK, surely rostering would be a better place to start ??? Humans get tired, currently Heatwave, neighbours enjoying the heat, and me being earlies, Yes i'm not going to be at my best...... So whats the answer. Stop earlies in summer months ??

Regards toilet facilities ..... What facilities, as mentioned previous, time in the chair and simple geography, its always porcelain available, if the cameras want to watch so be it, i have and will continue to stop if it becomes necessary.

Regards phones, if you are stupid enough to be caught on your phone whilst motoring then, you have no place up the front, I mean ASLEF can't really make any clearer.

But cameras well, somewhere to hang your HV i suppose 8-)
Lemme guess, GBRF…

Yet reading the Norwood Jct incident report, there is a substantial number of drivers who think it is OK to use a mobile phone while driving, and even more who don’t think they’d get caught. I”m afraid your colleagues are building themselves a good case for in-cab CCTV if they can’t be trusted.
Your opinion remember with no way of backing it up
