    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    I'm assuming that was meant to read rest day working,but with all these new drivers the amount of rest day working will all but disappear.

    Overspeeding near Manor Park, 24 September 2024 (RAIB report)

    I responded to this from nippy..... That’s a start of restriction board, there should have been a warning board in place approaching there. Basically nippy thought every psr board had a warning board,my point was how many warning boards would we have if that was the case.

    Suddenly feeling “off”/getting cold feet about taking job as a trainee driver for northern rail

    Does seem to be a thing people join knowing the shifts Sundays etc then applying for flexible/family friendly as soon as they finish training. Probably doesn't help that in a push to get more women drivers the polices are pushed at them.

    Examples of replacement rolling stock that decreased passenger comfort compared to what ran previously.

    As driver of these for a few short years I can't imagine getting anywhere near 90 mph perhaps this was a set with the middle coach removed and as described above you'd be a brave man to try.

    Distractions a driver could face when approaching your cab to prepare it.

    We were getting a bit of this at Edinburgh waverley dispatches coming closing cab doors while you set up your cab,a quiet word from drivers and probably upstairs stopped all that now they just ask for a wave when finished setting up.

    Distractions a driver could face when approaching your cab to prepare it.

    If it's scotrail they want you to put your off before leaving bothy for your next train and of course you wouldn't switch your phone on if only short time between trains and preferably back in bothy.

    ScotRail HST replacement tender issued - ideas thread

    They'd probably look for the accessible part to be more central for use on short platforms unless they see sense and stop using inter7city services at these stations.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    It's been a long while since I drove the sleepers up until they started hiring in the freight guys,but I always drove in a manner that I would appreciate if I was lying in bed.

    Stopping slightly short of Stop Car Mark (SCM)

    That's pretty much scotrails attitude they love looking for precursors and building history against drivers.To be fair most Driver managers,DTM are pretty fair I've found personally though sure others would disagree.

    The 'trip' wires at Edinburgh airport are in a state of disrepair.

    ScotRail HST replacement tender issued - ideas thread

    Been waiting for better timetabling since the introduction of the hst's,though coming out of Edinburgh is better than heading south where you start getting held up by stoppers sometimes from as early as Aberdour. The Arbroaths were originally meant to be from Glasgow Queen Street IIRC but this...

    No Trains on Boxing Day

    Yeah I have no doubt your right seems to be the way forward sadly. The Strathclyde boxing day working has been in place for sometime as you said so the vast majority of staff involved took the job on knowing this Still not great but there you go.
