I'm not sure you get this. I walked out of the toilet, having route knowledge of the line realised that we were imminently approaching a tunnel where flailling like a moron would end at best with severe wall rash and at worst a decaptiation. I didn't have time to explain the options to the...

Is it not? Saving an idiot from himself made me rather proud - as at the length the moron was hanging out there was only ever going to be one outcome. Unless you partake is said idiotic practices.......

I hope this is said in jest. If not, then I pity you and your life. Imagine being that scared that you won't speak to people. A very sheltered world if that's the case. Some great conversations take place with random people.

It's not just the youth who are clinically stupid regarding the railway. I very nearly come to blows with a "mature" enthusiast who decided that droplight rules didn't apply to him and decided to hang out of a window whilst headed towards Sutton weaver tunnel. I popped out of the toilet to see...

Gps doesn't work in tunnels. Don't @ me.

Navigation road is not and unless they build a bit never will be a crew change over point. Also the level crossing causes a bit of a problem. I'm not entirely certain but the gate would likely have to stay down whilst this change took place.

Pays a bit better, and not many drivers are actually fussed about what type of train they drive - there is a systemic failure of management at Northern. It's an unpleasant atmosphere with the DOO strikes and general mistrust between staff and management. Generally drivers leave for a change...

More than likely. There is a stampede of qualified drivers heading tpe way. To be blunt their is no reason for them to go to the bother of a trainee course when they can plunder Northern for a while.

Wow. Enthusiast in being completely wrong shocker. I'll think of this next time I am setting up my cab. Instead of setting off on time because I have decided to abort using the world's most temperamental system I will stay put and ensure that the pis is working - if needs be manually...

A game? People are losing money hand over fist and you think they are doing it to get their kicks? I've seen guards in tears and nearly come to blows over this. And it's said that railway staff are detached from reality.....

That's a quick way of turning one dispute into 3. Pay deal was separate, as any member of staff would of known.

The 142 that nearly ended up in St George's hall at lime Street - was less than 60mph.

:lol: Sorry, but this is very funny.

You couldn't be more wrong. It brings in millions in tourist revenue and cultural value. My kids loved the story telling element of it last time. It was brilliant.

Fortunately drivers don't seek or even care about public sympathy. I don't know why you would think otherwise. Passengers I speak to want me to deliver them to destinations in a safe timely manner. My working arrangements or renumeration has never formed part of any conversation. If it did...

That's a rationale response. Accept a change in working arrangements or we will automise everything. If they could, they would. And I know it's a cost saving exercise. It has been pointed out by a finance manager in work that it would save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. Unlike...

Not an equal comparison. With a tablet I would be responsible for charging it and updating it. Also I would need to carry it everywhere and potentially have to check it for emails and would in effect always be contactable. It also saves the company money not producing said publications on...

Why? It's a productivity element of the role. Why should they agree to new methods of working without payment?

Has the paydeal been agreed? I heard something like 3.4% was offered. A bit low that. Also, any news on what happens in Cardiff? I.e. train drivers tuped into tram drivers?

Is it still only 1 on the west? Good going if that's the case.
