Currently yes but only because timetable has been cut. Due to ramp up in June, then December again. Should decrease.

It's not bad at York. 2 main links. Now 68s have gone, one link 185 only. The other 185+802. 802 link sign upto Newcastle and Liverpool+Scarborough. 185 link signs Saltburn+Scarborough but not Newcastle/Liverpool. All to Man Vic/Picc/Airport. Night turns roughly every 4 months although there...

Whilst you do train with an instructor for a number of hours, nothing is the same as being on your own, using your own judgement, rules training and simply common sense at times to conduct yourself and your train safely. In my 3yrs of being passed out on my own I've experienced all sorts of...

Another factor to consider - which stock types have speed set that also brake the train by itself? E.g. 745/755s.

I think one of the sticking points for those of us without any payrise for 3yrs - working through the pandemic - is that all we're asking for is a payrise to match inflation for *this* year. To be told, possibly 4% or 5% (you're still losing money), oh, and we're coming for your T&C's as...

No offer made. GA have no offer to make as far as I know. The first pay meeting went well with... Nothing to offer, sorry.

I highly doubt it will be resolved. The train operating companies have zero leeway to make an offer. DfT haven't authorised anything because HMT say no money. It's a mess.

Overwhelming positive yes votes for both action short of a strike and a full strike.

Crossrail drivers received 8.4% I believe. Others on locked in pay deals are getting similar. It's the rest of us being left behind.

It's a shame some drivers are very anti-signaller. I don't know where it comes from. As a driver, I'm always pleasant to the signaller, because why wouldn't you be? We're all there to do one job. We're not really offered the chance to sit with the signaller, even on our own time. It's a...

As a driver, we all know at our depot that there are 'good', 'bad', 'ok', 'great' and everything in-between driving styles. A lot of this will be based on when they were taught. Similarly, all drivers have 'off' days or runs. A restrictive (double or single yellow) aspect must allow a minimum...

It is. Everywhere else it's depot drivers. But at Norwich there's more drivers on nights than depot drivers!

Sorry, East Suffolk link o_O

Ah ok, that's better then. The pension would be the thing for me that would kill it 1651768420 But is it an rpmi one?

Your depot!
