    Driver salaries in Europe

    As part of the debates and arguments about the current Industrial action, drivers are getting brought up a lot (even though largely irrelevant). The distribution of money and privatisation comes up a lot with people saying we wouldn't be paid as much if nationalised and that if we get payrises...

    Greater anglia depot drivers

    With regards to relocation you just go on a list and when a place comes up you can transfer. Think you can only do this once unless it's a swap. The progression to mainline you'll get a chance to apply as the job comes up, along with any outsiders but skip right to the managers interview

    GEML franchise 2016

    Dropping the Abellio and just Greater Anglia again? That's not as bad. The artist impressions of new trains appear to have Abellio East Anglia on the side though

    GEML franchise 2016

    Why are all of you missing one of the most shocking things in this franchise change? All this talk of trains and timetables pfft! What about the fact we're changing to "East Anglia". Isn't that a ridiculous name?! (Assuming they have to drop Abellio as I believe companies have to drop the...

    Plug socket in class 332 Cab

    What I find just as odd is the dock for the halo lamp. We don't have such things! :( 360s also, but I believe they came in before smoking in workplace was stopped :).

    Favourite Bands

    I just find H era marillion inconsistant compared to Fish era. Ok there was only 4 albums with Fish but they're all great. With H I find there are so many albums and a lot are hit or miss with some being too long with lots of filler. They seem to churn it out a lot quicker and I can't get into...

    Why are a lot of train spotters so strange?

    It seems to appeal to social outcasts (I being one also). I've also noticed a lot of the younger enthusiasts seem to be gay. Don't know if there's anything to that, maybe it's am outcast thing again. Might just be the people I know.
