As an active member of ASLEF for 29 years before moving away I fully understand who the unions represent, the same is probably true of FCC GN services, NXEA and most TOC`s but I appreciate the thought thank you. :cool:

As commented earlier different types of traction have slight differences to the operation of these pieces of equipment. The average DSD timing is around 5 seconds. The same applies for the vigilance, but on some types of traction it is not necessary to release and apply the deadmans device...

Personally I`m appauled that an MP can take up a good cause, and instead of stating the rights and freedoms of individuals comes out with this garbage.... "the potential positive contribution to station security made by railway enthusiasts who are often seen as providing extra “eyes and ears”...

Doesn`t sound much like a normal service to me :roll: Interesting that FCC does not think IT will run a reduced service....is this due to no information to post on this company, or that Driver Only Operation means very little effect on services, maybe more on ticket revenue sales and clean...
