Would they not require route knowledge, traction knowledge, and PTS for that? They may as well be a guard.

They were instructed to sign the new contract "under duress"

That's a different matter. I did not think that people were allowed to act as security staff without an SIA licence?

Agreed. The RMT are on a hiding to nothing with this one.

The government would be more into starting the franchising ITT straightaway so that the "new" franchisee can get all the glory. New was in quotes because there is nothing stopping Govia from applying.

As najaB says, Don't put too much on this. Good but don't call it a fine. You're offering to pay the fare due and any fees caused. great don't bother with this. They honestly don't care, they just care about getting the money due. I would word the letter similar to the following. I...

Excuse me? I live 20 miles from the south coast. No AC here. Most houses down here do not have any.

I suspect the 158s and 159/1s would require an engine upgrade to the 400hp units that are in the 159/0s. Good luck finding enough. Also, the last time an HST did that sort of thing, the railway was in public ownership. No driver would dare exceed the limit now, especially by the amounts...

Yes and no. Here in Petersfield we have a very successful second hand bookshop run by John Anthony Portsmouth Football Club Westwood (yes that is his real name). People who really want a particular book will buy from specialist shops like his, but for mainstream stuff, yes the amount is only a...

From what I understand, the Blue Pullman sets were not kind to the track. Hence their early demise.
