@Hairy Bear Apologies, my reply to the below would be to ask whether or not the RAIB has confirmed there was no attempt to move out of the cab, since the CCTV for those final few seconds hasn’t been recovered. @WAO the speed according to the Sectional Appendix is 50, not 55, anlthough only a...

Let’s hope this application goes more smoothly for you!

I should imagine with all of the failed trains over the past few months their contact centre has been dealing with a hugely high volume of complaints and claims for delay repay. The horrific events of Bedford and the fleet reliability have had a huge impact and I can’t imagine they have a large...

I would reply to the email thanking them for the update and asking them to keep you on file, since you were particularly interested in the role. That way you might stick in the recruitment team’s or manager’s mind.

Deleted, my fault

So why should the train driver or conductor care about the passenger’s needs? Not being funny but quid versus quo, surely. 1786652553 This is entirely relevant. Passengers are in uproar about a service without a toilet for several hours, quite rightly so in my opinion. OK to expect a driver...

Unless I’ve overlooked a comment I find it quite ironic that we are 8 pages into a discussion about whether or not it’s acceptable to run a service without working toilets without mentioning on board crew and their needs. Especially when many of the general public don’t take the need for train...

Staff will likely be sitting spare before doing the rest of their booked job. If it is the last part of the job they can go home, as they’ve done what they were booked to do before that part of the job. They won’t be used for anything else.

What about crew hours and personal need breaks? Can you go into a bit more detail as to what you think would work? Are you suggesting taxis from Nottingham to Liverpool and vice versa to get the crews there?

Am I missing something? It’s a meridian, not a 158. Edited to say I obviously have missed something.

Confused! Are we talking about someone who has either been sacked or left the company? Or are we talking about a tragic incident 6 weeks ago? Know better, do better.

I can assure you that great frontline staff have absolutely nothing to do with anyone at the top! (I really do mean anyone!) Please don’t think otherwise! They are purely decent people wanting to do a good job with the poor tools they have. 1785301763 They wouldn’t have enough units for 12 car...

Do you mean 10th of August or 8th or 10th of July? That might have a bearing on it.

What a tedious response. People vote to strike to better their terms and conditions. They don’t get paid when they strike. They lose out on their pension contributions. Northern guards took a massive hit when they were on strike a few years ago. I am personally anti strike unless it is health...
