Sorry to go a bit off topic, but can people please stop calling Network Rail by stupid names, it really annoys me, yes we make some bad choices and make some bad mistakes, but there is just no need for it.
The company name is Network Rail not Nitwit Fail or Notwork Fail ect.
Rant over...
Is this still going on or have the BTP and EMT given up

I spoke to my manager again today and even he says that i am not entitled to any travel discounts whatsoever, now i didnt ask him about other staff as thats none of my business and to be honest even if i could get a discount i would still pay the full price to use the railway (thats for another...

I know a few ex...

I have been in prison (2 and a half years) 6 years ago (yes i do regret everything i did and luckily it put me back on the straight and narrow).
While i was inside i learnt a hell of alot ...
Hi all.
The i phone i have just purchased for £504.99 is 02 pay and go.
The blackberry that went bang was also on 02 pay and go.
I never go on contract because of passed issues but i have allways found 02 to be the best company to go with.
All the best.

Hi all.
I was out in Carlisle yesterday and my blackberry 8520 bold got extreamly wet and went to a white screen later on in the day it started to work again but only intermittent now it hardly works at all. I went into 02 and they said if its water damage there is nothing they can do.
So...
Today i went to the DRS kingmoor TMD open day the idea was to try and see what exactly rail enthusiasts see in locos and try and get into an enthusiast mind.
Well i failed miserably, i met 2 forum members from here (both railstaff) and i must say they tried their best to help me understand but...
My way of keeping down the urge to eat is smoking i find that smoking practically kills my hunger for food.

All the best.
