    trauma care for drivers after a fatality?

    I have to dissagree with your statement.It could not be further from the truth for a number of firms who only are bothered about you being back at work,and not your wellbeing after an incident.

    Request stops

    The station in question was around a mile and a half away when you turned the bend.They would start flashing the torch when they saw you come along,and I usually used to respond with a toot on the horn,to acknowledge them once I had seen them.They would then turn the torch off and wait.

    "Non-Pointless Journeys"

    How about a Gatwick to Heathrow service ? I guess the only way it could be done is going via Clapham and North Pole,if paths were available but would it be well used ? Also a Weymouth to Hastings service,even limited to a few a day,would be good.

    Staffed station with least trains

    Settle has to be in with a shout,but doubt it is top of the pile though for trains stopping.15 a day in total.As for passenger numbers,its far from quiet at times,even with those few trains.

    Bit of trouble on Southern today!

    Ok,so I am already on 12 hours worked,having agreed to help out earlier,and my last working has no relief through no fault of my own when I get to my home depot.What you are saying is that I should ignore all laid down rules and take that train on to its destination,taking me maybe up to 15...

    Bit of trouble on Southern today!

    Spot on,but try explaining that time and again to Mr Commuter,or Mr Spotter who both think we are bone lazy idle layabouts,who will do anything to stop the job or delay them.
