    GTR Delay Attribution Assistant

    Interesting advert. Few things surprised me. Knowledge of the railway being Optional vice Core. Railway knowledge is essential if you are going to dispute incidents etc CCF has been replaced by TMV for awhile.

    Accuracy and availability of information on rolling stock kept at preserved railways

    I find this hard to acknowledge. At the end of the day these are assets. There will be records of what they have or haven't got. I'd be very worried how these railways use donations if they can't provide a basic asset list.

    Blackpool Heritage Tram Operations Suspended

    Limited maintenance can be done at Starr Gate. Apart from that, the tram would have to be sent by road to a workshop somewhere. 1768674507 You're correct, the full amount was never raised in the end.

    Delayed due to failure of Tesco daventry - coatbridge DRS service (17/12)

    Hi, I am going to correct you. It doesn't happen often at all. 4S43 has had more successful trips than failures in a calendar year.

    No Trains on Boxing Day

    It's disgusting in 2024 that this continues. These works should be done in a quiet month like February

    Northern cancellations creeping up again?

    Just stop publishing fictional timetables every 6 months. Cut down services and concentrate on running a smaller service well.

    Staff Privacy Lodging on Overnighters - Shared or Single Rooms?

    The company will have preferred chain to stay with in the big towns and cities. Other hotels will be looked at in remote areas. Smaller companies will use a company credit card and the big ones will have centralised accounts to book with.
