The new signaling system on the S.S.R is very vulnerable to lightning strikes with in many cases T.O’s having to go trackside to reset wayside radio units or feeder pillar’s following such events. Last night’s lighting was almost unheard of in london so I can well Imagine this being the root...

the isssue wasnt within the depot, which is L.U.L infrastructure, it was N.R infrastructure, albeit on the approach roads At the time it became apparent, it was only suspected to be somewhere on N.R infrastructure + the exact location was not known As Stonebridge is also the only full depot...

There’s a track defect on Network rail, with an out of gauge negative conductor rail causing damage to the trains .

With respect this shows a lack of understanding. The Q3 grade exists as a pay band which covers numerous jobs at L.U.L., you do not move up the pay band within this role. Pay rises will be as per the annual negotiated pay rise with the unions.

It is more to do with the back end {if this make sense} which is operated by staff in the London Underground control centre. The program they use still has the overground as one “Line” and the information to station staff still displays this. The system has been cracked to work out what “Line”...

Someone I work with found out already whether they have passed the paper sift or not.

I was not aware that T.F.L did this but no need to confuse matters as this thread relates to L.U.L whereas the bands HAVE historicaly gone up in-line with payrises Last year being the only exception that I can recall Any way a new offer was made to the T.U on Friday, confirmed in a letter...

am not convinced about this- the Central Line in particular seems to be operating numerous trains with graffiti in service. It isnt a 'bomb' attack as they are all intricate pieces rather than simple tags which you see in pictures in the O.P., & you know they haven't just been done because you...

Would be very surprised if on that salary they can find enough suitable applicants from only inyernals …

I have been reliably informed that despite all these days with network rail having replaced almost all of the signaling infrastructure at the location, and L.U.L P-Way having replaced track components, network rail teams overnight discovered a damaged cable.

It is a diesel train operating through the station in connection with the possession on the East London Line.

There is actually currently a trial in place which commenced the other week at a station at which the resistance on the motors was turned up.

R.M.T have historically balloted all of their members on L.U.L contracts even those within service control. The 2014 strikes into Fit For The Future which are the ones what I referred to for the service pattern in my post above included all grades represented by R.M.T. This time round the...

Historically- even with a full {not just stations} R.M.T walkout you could run a largely comprehensive service. Even as recently as 2014, on an RMT strike day you could expect to see the Bakerloo running Queens Pk to Elephant - the Central running west of White City and East of Leytonstone -...

Most of the grades and locations concerned already work 12 hour shifts without a meal relief as part of either their normal rosters, or as per custom and practice. 1689675690 As I said above, there is only enough contingency staff to operate a service for a single shift. It has therefore been...
