I agree, you'd think it wouldn't be up to them but it's still not 100% finalised - neither have the diagrams been agreed upon by all parties.

I hope it stays in their diagrams but a certain depot is not backing down on not being given the new work!

Apparently, this is still very much up for debate...

It's a 10 car vice nine car - it won't be 19 cars long!

My thoughts exactly. It's a complete erosion of T&Cs for a paltry pay rise.

Umm, these three strike days would not have had any impact on our December pay. In fact the pay day before Xmas is still seven weeks off. But don't let that get in the way of your, clearly objective, point.

Book on. Sleep. Go home after a few hours. I got 12 hours notice that the strike was off which wasn't ideal.

Blackburn only sign up to Horrocksford Jct for the Clitheroe shunts.

There is nothing to take up. Northern have requested that the error is rectified but as I said it'll take a while.

It is an error. Your informed sources are completely wrong!

Right. Well they're wrong as it's not a request stop in either direction. Though it'll take a while for the CIS system to be changed.

Which is irrelevant to this thread which specifically discounted examples such as yours.

But a train could call at Berrylands (or New Malden, Raynes Park etc) on the way to Basingstoke, Exeter etc.

I know that at least one applicant has passed the DMI and psychs for the vacancy (there's likely more that I don't know about) but until you get the no thanks email you've a chance.

Is a six minute out and nine minute return, same platform connection at Blackburn really 'so' inconvenient?

It makes sense because it is what happens! People in shelters, and/or on head phones not hearing the train approaching, even just being hard to spot at night even when correctly signalling to the driver can all cause issues. As you say the train should be ready to stop but if the front end has...

Right. Well it's how it works at Entwistle!

Er nope, it's the other way around: driver gives two if the platform is empty and the guard either responds or doesn't as appropriate.

Unless I've missed anything I can only hear one set of two bells which is the driver telling the guard that there's nobody waiting on the platform. If the guard gives two back the train does not stop. However, the lack of response means that either somebody wants to get off or the guard hasn't...
