Was just thinking this. I personally would ban all badges, union/LGBT/Cancer research/poppy et al. Uniform should be just that. Either confirm to the standard that is set by the company or don't wear it at all and find a job that will let you dress how you want.

And also, arriva only has one shareholder as I understand it - that being DB. You can't unlist a company without buying all of the shares. They then become one share until you decide to diversify the company stock - AFAIK DB haven't done so. Unless I'm completely understanding it wrong.

The point being it's not on the stock exchange, and therefore isn't available to public listing. But thanks for playing.

It's not a public listed company. Therefore doesn't have shares, or is even listed on the stock exchange. When DB bought it outright it was delisted. Hence no announcement, nor any future announcement.

Not always. I operate in areas of DC but don't carry short circuit bars or even know how to operate them. I get DC questions on my rules. It's only in station areas where the DC is but I sign the stations and all platforms.

They are a lot bigger and more rubber looking. A black rubber brick is the best description

Unfortunately not. That's why I thought they couldn't be apc's. It looks like a black brick - can't help any more than that

There is no capacity in the engine sidings at Piccadilly. In fact, I couldn't think of a sillier idea than terminating a Southport/alderley edge service at Piccadilly. It's already clogged up. And that's considering their aren't that many Southport/alderley edge services. Most are Wigan...

Question. What are the new black box things in the 4ft in-between central and crescent? I thought they were apc's but I am not sure now.

I don't think it helps to over dramatise the effects of it either.

I know you're not. You did have the inside scoop through the previous regime, inciuding access to the shed. Which has dried up. Unless I am mistaken. And I'll repeat as you seem to think one day is daily - it's a weekly event. Not a daily event. Daily events happen every day or every working...

It's a distant signal. It can only ever show green/yellow. It changes from green tk yellow when the train previously activates the track circuit ahead. It can only change back to green when the block ahead is clear. The one previous before the viaduct will be held at red. The yellow indicates...

Last time I checked a dictionary DAILY means everyday. Not a select day during the week. That would be WEEKLY. And for the rest of your wibble, I suggest you actually grow up. Having seen the effects of extremism at my place of work and the shutdown for over 2 weeks I suggest your nonsense...

Daily business? One strike a week is not daily for clarity. And comparing a trade union to extremist groups is bizarre, even for the shock value.

I don't think northern had the option, contracts dictate what traction you can have, and more importantly what the rosco is willing to loan you. See the 323 for an example of roscos being awkward and now leaving themselves stuck.

Appreciated.

Not seen any on them squire.

A very simplistic and ultimately incorrect assumption. Let's take Leeds drivers who would have to learn the two tractions. That was take the required traction knowledge at that depot into double figures. They already have a massive amount of traction that they sign. Adding more on would...

142's on a dry rail are quicker off the start than 150/153/155/156. For short stoppers they seem to get into the 30/40 mph engage quicker. Above this then the others seem to get up to speed quicker. They are uncomfortable for anything over an hour in the seat.

Anyone got a phone number for HR/recruitment? Thanks
