There's 8 mins at Picc which is supposed to be to walk from the platforms to our offices in the north block, personally I go straight to the car park, there's no requirement to go up, it's up to you if you want to hand anything in or go to your locker etc. From sign on time you get 10 mins...

Here's the last 3 weeks as a Piccadilly driver. Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and Tues are rest days and then early shifts begin on the Wed with 05:11 till 14:45, thurs 05:12 till 14:18, fri 04:37 till 13:03 and sat 06:44 till 16:26 Sunday was a day off and then mon 15:59 till 23:45, tues 17:15 till...

I put all mine last time I did it.

Surely this isn't sudden news to the FOC's? I mean these new rules must have been coming for some time so why did they go on a recruitment drive? Or has it been sprung on them from nowhere?

Northern ask for 6 months but quite a few have left earlier. Other toc's know the score and set their own recruitment in line with the notice they know drivers will have to give.

Manchester Metrolink used to have their own dedicated GMP Unit which Metrolink paid for (I don't know if that was entirely) It started off ok but as time went on GMP started sticking long term sick cops, overweight useless cops and all other manner of not particularly useful cops in that...

I always report them because seeing them really upsets me. I usually say that it's visible to passengers and they're upset just to make sure they send someone to move them. Not sure what they do with the information though other than sending someone to move said animal. I'll probably get...

How massively original of you :roll:

I've heard this for years, never had the chance to go to Leeds but I'd love to just to sit on this table. They could kiss my arse if they didn't like it as well. Really annoys me :evil:

I deserve every penny for all the reasons listed already plus the horrendous shifts. Sounds daft that but over a prolonged period not everybody can get out of bed at 01:30am in the middle of winter. Seriously what time is a man supposed to go to bed to get up at that time? I'd say about...

The electric train is limiting point.

Topassredsafe or is it topassredsafely? Either way I can't remember all the reasons that go along with the letters but it was something like that ^^ --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Just to add that I found/find it easier to picture a scenario personally. Eg picture yourself...

Jesus you sound like a laugh. That said it was a complete damp squib. Two that I know of.

Like that idea myself.

I was once in the same position. I put in for the driving despite being a long way down the conductor recruitment. They only ever knew because I told them but once they did know they weren't happy and made me withdraw one or the other. I withdrew my conducter application and went on to get...

I'm not having that 20% of SE drivers are not in the union. Well not without a link to some evidence anyway.

Yeah you're right. We should let them alter our terms and conditions that were fought for many years ago with absolutely no recourse. Let's just hand them over, where do I sign?

Yeah because they/you sold Sunday's for more money, we didn't and I hope never will.

The trouble is that too much absolutely incorrect information gets peddled on here. Not blaming you for that but it's rife on here. It's whatever hrs you work plus 2 hrs extra for working a Sunday at Northern (west side)

I've never done one but some of the lads in our place that have mentioned that they asked questions about the contents of that weeks wons so have a good read of that.
