Yes flat rate

Minimum 8hrs for a rest day mon-sat

No, only at Marylebone

It's 14 days notice you need to give to be unavailable for a Sunday. No night turns although I believe on fri/sat there's a job finishing around 3am. Routes are Marylebone to Birmingham snow hill, Hatton to Stratford upon avon, Banbury to Oxford via Heyford, Marylebone to Oxford, Marylebone...

Not sure that the service can call at Lapworth without some signalling changes and crossovers put in?

The same sophisticated DAS system that advises you to do 2mph upon leaving a station :wink:

Anything north of Banbury is worked by a guard (Train manager), loco hauled services are worked by a guard throughout their journey, The Paddington parliamentary service is also worked by a guard

Also have in the past been Portsmouth Harbour, Littlehampton and Eastbourne with splits at Haywards Heath and Worthing, even better when no P.I.S codes available :twisted:

There's only a limited amount of drivers with the route knowledge to Paddington

I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, they fail to live up to their promises, there is zero respect and appreciation for the staff they employ and morale is rock bottom amongst front line staff, this isn't just southern I am talking about I'd say this about every govia operated TOC, but you...

No, Its DOO

From this weekend DOO is allowed on 8 coach services between Marylebone and Banbury, if they only call at Bicester North only, if they are booked to call at any other intermediate station they require a guard until the other stations are cleared for 8/9 car DOO operation

Only on loco sets, on the units they are DOO between Marylebone and Banbury

Won't be an 8 coach train, unless it has a guard on it all the way to Marylebone, DOO is only signed off for a maximum of 7 coaches at present i believe

Ticket acceptance on FGW between Paddington and Oxford, Chiltern services are starting and terminating at Oxford

So how long do you expect us to dwell at each station, 2 extra mins per stop?? Just in case 1 passenger is running late. I can see the next topic being posted and whinged about 'Slow guard/driver dwelling longer than needed at each stop!!!!!'

It's had a 50mph tsr there for the last year, obviously wasn't enough

It wouldn't have made any difference if the conductor signed the route or not, if the driver had signed the route the train could have been made DOO between South Bermondsey and Norwood Junction and then gone as booked, as it happened the driver didn't sign it so back it went :roll:

some 168's stop out as far as West Ruislip and a few run up the met so as far as Amersham

Personally I think you were lucky not to be caught travelling on the wrong operators service. You used a fast Southern service (first stop East Croydon) while using a ticket valid from Brighton on FCC only services. I wouldn't mention this to Southern either!!!! :lol:
