    EMR - Trainee Train Drivers - Recruitment Discussion

    About 4k . Puts you on roughly £77200. Pay claim is January and obviously the 810's are the new units that the above poster was probably on about. No hefty raise anywhere. Got the rest day rate wrong too.

    Could a new law prevent the last train of the day being cancelled and replaced with a bus?

    But if it’s staffing you can't do that. As a driver if im booked to drive back from up north at say 9pm on the second to last service and the train is sitting there then there are now two problems. You will have one set of staff , but two trains blocking the platforms and depending on what im...

    Could a new law prevent the last train of the day being cancelled and replaced with a bus?

    Well first of all you didn't reply to @Haywain above re the Bedford crash. Not only were all lines closed for a week , but drivers weren't happy to drive straight after, having lost a colleague. I was driving the last Sheffield to London one night and it got cancelled at Derby, because some...

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    Well we don't just do Sheffield work. We drive Nottingham and Corby too . On Saturday my job was Derby and back and then Corby and back , so even if the Sheffield service part was cancelled I would still have to do the Corby. Northern crew will also drive Nottinghams and Corbys and some do...

    Report of collision Bedford (Elstow) - 19/06/26

    I did say when the upfast is clear. And to be clear I don't ever expect signals to clear and my post was in response to someone.

    Should the responsibility for warning about speed restrictions ahead be separated from the system which warns that there is another train ahead?

    If normally going up fast from WH356 and the Up fast is clear , then it goes Y and as you get close to it it flashes through YY to green .

    Report of collision Bedford (Elstow) - 19/06/26

    Just edited my post. Always come off Bedford on a single yellow. Yes you would get a single yellow at the next , but it's not very often as the up inter city will be doing 125 and have Usually long gone before the 360 even gets there. Unless the 360 is already at the signal and waiting.

    Report of collision Bedford (Elstow) - 19/06/26

    Point of order. You get a junction indicator if coming up from the up slow , usually from P1 , but if on the up/down which is usually from P2 or P3 you just get a main aspect.
