    GBRf - Trainee Train Managers - W.Mids/Peterborough/Didcot (16/11/24)

    You’re welcome Dont want to put a downer on it, but at my depot getting a lieu day is a task. I get knocked back consistently, and I ask for things like a Tuesday night! Your lieu day will disappear into the ether if you don’t ’take’ it. They will rarely carry forward and you need managers...

    GBRf - Trainee Train Managers - W.Mids/Peterborough/Didcot (16/11/24)

    Overtime is straight time. It sucks. I won’t do any overtime for less than 12 hours pay. Most of our jobs are over ten, anyway. It’s a healthy salary though, so you could easily manage with a few RDW a month. Rostering is an utter lottery. It all comes down to what you sign and the depot work...

    Drivers - things allowable in the cab?

    No use of the Mobile at all in the cab (Must be switched off). It can only be used when you are in a safe position outside of the cab environment. I've eaten a sandwich in cab when I've not had a chance to eat it otherwise, when trains stopped etc, :|, the stuff you see in cabs is...

    Scotrail Ticket Examiner

    It's 3%. :) As already mentioned, a good starting point in ScotRail. Just avoid schoolies, junkies, football fans, and businessmen and you shouldn't get into too many arguments :lol:. Apply for other jobs after six months and you should recover in good time, if you manage to get one.
