40145 I was on that last saturday, Charter down to Paignton and Kingswear... anyone else on it?

As long as they dont go under your train, and mosty of them if they're on your train dont want anything to do with anyone else. Whats the problem? I go out every Friday/Sat and get drunk all the time. It's what we call 'Fun'.

What a silly person! I dont understand why people feel the need to put themselves on the railway line! Very selfish aswell, if they're trying to commit suicide, the driver involved wouldn't be able to live with himself. Well I wouldn't. Don't know about anyone else...

Yeah good luck mate. I would have advised another TOC to Virgin anyway but yeah go for it! :)

God knows what goes on in their minds... ;) But I imagine so.

Virgin always get quite funny about work experience...But worth a try get a load of free goodies :D

Oh aren't you the lucky paper boy! :D

At least Markinch station won't look so dead and boring eh!? ;)

Mate, obviously it's all about getting caught and its a very very high chance you will if you have had anything whilst in a Virgin Trains uniform. I was trying to say if you had been drinking and the 'littlest' thing goes/went wrong you are immediately investigated. So apart from the obvious...

There is not that many train crashes and when they are they're rarely down to the driver. The last thing you expect when you board public transport is for you driver to have been drinking. You would not get away with it in Train Driving. There shouldn't be any but the obvious differences.

Whenever it was, there were fatalities and i think even two in a year is enough!

Virgin Trains used to definately be: Before 6pm the day before. That was about 3 months ago. I wasn't aware it had changed.

Mate! I couldn't agree more. 1 maybe...but 2, starts to get worrying.

Although when the 91's are going they are very smooth, however if the 91 is pushing it can be very jerky, even more so than the 220's. The 220s are dreadful they just have a quick motion rock from side to side. The 221s are smoother even where there isn't tilt but still you can hear the clanging...

Yeah they sure will. I think GNER beat any other TOC by far in most aspects of the company such as customer service, reliability, punctuality etc. I know looking at the figures they probably arent, however i have had no problems with them. Are you referring to ScotRail? and/or Virgin?

I hope they don't employ drivers like that when they take over the east coast! Was the first crash due to drink driving? I can't remember.

He thinks hes special and we should all run around after him. Thats why. Lazy idiot.

Yes i was awaiting a visit from the 'locksmith' aswell! Listening to ClassicFM to calm me down :D haha kidding.

We/I cant calm down when some ****head thinks he can try and make me/us feel/look small/stupid. Geordies have a rep for saying what they think...I live up to that.

Dont talk to me like my ****ing teacher did 20 years ago. You are not the 'IT', get used to it and stop thinking you are, also lose that big chip you have on your shoulder! You earn respect by giving it. Show some. If we're so unhelpful with what you want, you know where you can go! ---...
