The key sentence here is: without seeking permission from the government Currently big changes need official letter from dft for each event granting permission especially if changes affect the PSR (maximum journey times, frequency, etc).

Thanks for your reply. I meant conductor manager and considered that given the information was not on the job advert or in the JD that they were keeping the salary range to themselves. I shall contact them now though.

Does anybody have any information about Conductor managers jobs for ATW? I know the salary for a London TOC, but I'm not sure how Arrive would compare. If anyone knows about pay, rosters, etc then that would be much appreciated :-)

Not Chiltern's area of concern really now they're not running to Wrexham, it's not really like the Shrewsbury situation. The value for the franchise is to make sure that the maintenance schedules for the weekday mainline stock aren't compromised as I'm sure you're aware Chiltern runs one of...

Bicester pronounced Bister

Is NR not Network Rail in this instance?

Thanks everyone for the quick info!

I have both super off peak and off peak tickets available and wish to make a journey to South London from Banbury. I know I can use the tickets to MYB and PAD and I've been looking at the routing guide and using maps BB+WR and BB+WX it appears I can get to Waterloo and Victoria. Is this correct...

Chiltern trains are self dispatch apart from the loco hauled sets. The dispatchers are there for Cross Country trains.

It's one toilet per coach so that more seats can be fitted in per carriage...

This is due to Network Rail engineering works. The normal last Birmingham train is 2200 Saturday and Sundays.

For DB Regio UK until DB bought Arriva and then since approx January it's been Bob Holland of Arriva

The Leamington shuttles were a new service provided by Chiltern in December 2010. They have no connection to any previous service provided by any other TOC. They are there purely to satisfy the franchise PSR requirements of the stations that were removed from some of the Birmingham trains. There...

How many times do people need telling, arriva trains Wales is a no growth franchise. They will not spend any money unless required to do so by their franchise agreement or there is a business case for doing so. Any business would react the same. if you don't like this then take it up with the dft

It ran as 1H08 started short at BCS, but encountered a CDL problem and so ran fast HDM to MYB

The hourly 100 minute service calls BAN, LMS, WRP, SOL. The two in each direction 90 minute services call WRP, SOL

WSMR only installed wifi in the first class carriage, however it leaks in to the next carriage. This will continue to be the case until the refurbished sets come out of the works with powered doors, so expect the first full MK3 wifi set towards the end of this year. Makes sense not to spend the...

and yet go back a little further and super off peak wasn't valid all of the day on a Saturday. Some changes are good, some bad.

I'm led to believe Route Chiltern tickets are only in the system due to way the tickets for the recent mobile app were implemented

Yes but the times they are valid will be different! At no time will there be competition between the two any permitted off peak fares. Some people will pay more, however these people will pay less: Anyone leaving MYB before 1030 M-F Anyone leaving MYB 1900 - 2000 M-F Anyone arriving MYB...
