Indeed. It’s a shame. The RM feels cheaper too.

As other posters have rightly said, there was a severe shortage of drivers. Reversing off one platform won’t help either.

This is from the timetable notice, an internal document, where the planned service was laid out. In connection with train arrestor installation at Wood Green and tamping works at Oakwood, the Piccadilly Line train service will be suspended between King’s Cross and Cockfosters from...

Yes. Pea and Ham soup would go down well…..all over one’s shirt with all the bouncing.

Yes, we were booked on it as well. Hugely disappointing, but understandable.

LU do employ their own welders. Looking at the internal document showing the pay rates, it’s 50-60k a year depending on whether you’re days or nights. No idea when the job will be advertised again, so keep an eye on the TFL jobs page on their website.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. As someone who works in outer London, I've put railcard and young visitor discounts on frequently, without issue, for many years. Also, so have many of my colleagues. 1692380317 There are two types of registration. Basic and full. Basic is what most people...

Rail Books in Rye are very good. Quick and helpful service, Mail order only, but they do attend some model railway exhibitions in the South.

According to internal documents the Controller failed to inform the driver of the change of destination. Equally the driver wasn’t reading their display at Green Park. So an oversight on both.

From the internal TFL yammer group, some CSM’s have said they will lose anything from. 8-15k per annum.

TFL have now said that any managers downgraded to supervisors will receive 3 years of protected earnings. So you were ‘mapped or ‘promoted’ into the role for no extra money, and will now potentially receive a heft pay cut as you are denoted to a supervisor salary. Very nice of TFL, whilst the...

Incorrect. It’s station managers who are being culled if TFL get their way. It’s going full circle. Station supervisors were ‘promoted’ to the customer service manager role. Extra responsibilities for no extra reward. So, as predicted by staff and the unions back in 2015 there are far too...

Although you have a duty of care, you also have to think of your own safety. Drunks can change in an instant. I’ve seen it many times. I would not recommend going into a private area with them. Things could turn nasty, you’d have no witnesses or CCTV. I’m assuming this is for a CSA role? That...

Overtime ban from 1-7 June has been suspended. Talks will take place. Positive development I think.

There’s an RMT overtime ban across all of LU 1-7 June.

Either no staff, or there are staff, but they are moved to a busier station nearby. I’m not sure which stations are part of the cover group, maybe Bond St or Notting Hill Gate. Reduces the overall inconvenience. It’s not good, but that’s the reality. So many stations are run on overtime. Not...

Smell of brake dust which can smell of burning. Also considering it’s the Northen line, the air vents were probably full of tunnel dust and other nasty things which blew out into the saloons causing the panic.

444s into Waterloo. 377s into Victoria. Unless you’re desperate to do the track, Waterloo is far more quicker and convenient.

Indeed. There have been numerous raves and drug taking up there for years. BTP are frequent visitors. There was even a rave in one of the South tunnels.
