    Elizabeth Line - total loss of signalling 26/11

    The transition on the GEML is also done whilst on the move. Heading Westbound it's when you're more or less Country End of Stratford. Heading Eastbound, it's departing Country end of the platform.

    Elizabeth Line now has most cancellations

    The down main was closed from Southall West to Dolphin Junction. I was 30 late into Reading this morning. Pretty much stop/start from EB to West Drayton. A lot of traffic to signal down the Relief line. Hence all the delays

    Yes, passenger pulled an egress in Westbourne Park resulting in a REC call. Thought it was handled quickly to be fair. Was on the move in around 20 minutes.

    Basic qualified train driver salaries and basic T&c’s

    Have no idea what you're talking about? Never have got Sunday pay. It's an average 4 day week, with Sunday's inside. Basic is just over £69k. You get that after being qualified for a year.

    Basic qualified train driver salaries and basic T&c’s

    This is slightly wrong. Sunday's are already inside the working week, no such thing as night pay or Sunday pay (driving grade, can't comment on other grades). Base salary is slightly higher on what you say.
