Hi. There is no mainline progression from Depot driver to Mainline. You will have to apply for trainee position like everyone one else and is not guaranteed like before in the past.
Sunday out side the working week. Worth about £3,000 more if you do more. Loads of overtime at the moment...
16 wow. Should look at my rule book more. Was 15 reasons 8 years ago.
You don't really have to know them all. Just a few when passed out.
Most drivers have one reason. Signaller tells you to pass it at danger. I get instructions from them what to do, repeat back and go.
Still scary today...
Yeah, which none of them will be delivered on time with Crossrail behind schedule. Plus coming public about abellio now, £80 million bail out by the ducth taxes payers.
Unfortunately they do. Anything you report to the signaller and their report to your Control. It's goes on record and recored. You be Exonerated of course but still remains. I would advise any drive to get a copy of your records from your file. Section 9 normally (operating incident) I always...
Fatality out of your control. That's still goes down as a safe of line incident. As it's deemed as a collision. Recorded on slims for ever more. VT can do one then if they want a 100% clean record. No driver has a 100% clean. Yes might be Exonerated from incidents but still held on record.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
