Is there some form of physical bar on boarding a drop off only train? Or is it just that they dont appear on the screens?

Understood, Thank you.

Can Lumo trains run if the steward is not available? If they are safety critical I assume not. I think I recall being on one of their services and being told there was no catering as there was steward aboard but it sounds like I was mistaken.

This is also my experience. The vast bulk of scheduling/rostering in the airlines that I am familiar with is done through the automated systems and edge cases are handled by human staff. The rostering teams in question are now about 10% of the size they were 20 years ago despite handling far...

I'm curious about the new government's position on changes to terms and conditions. From what I read on here, that has the potential to extend or halt briefly the industrial unrest.

Unions frequently support proposals that lead to a reduction in headcount for a wide variety of reasons. I'm not sure I can recall a situation where ASLEF or the RMT did though. When they do, they fight hard to avoid compulsory redundancies and to protect or improve conditions for remaining...

Thanks

is "The Route" a part of NR?
