At a guess I'd say it meant he needed to speak to the conductor

I'm intrigued but I can't seem to find that name on Facebook

Am I missing Something here ? If you are aware of why the wait is why does it annoy you that the driver fails to speak?

I would suspect the higher amount

Poor journalism I'm afraid, the recording is not Boris but a nice sounding female

The Priv card is a perk of the job and comes with terms and conditions, abuse these and get caught an all travel rights will lost by your parent. I suggest rather than look to beat the system you purchase a legitimate rail card and use that. As for your suggestion about more probs good luck...

Without wishing to sound unpopular but once passengers start to remove themselves the first priority of the driver is to contact the box , cutting the power off and laying protection to protect all lines, the passengers are no longer his first priority. One possible explanation ( just my...

None in the driver grade, all included in the final salary

Common sense has Prevailed now how do we go about ensuring the Big Man is given a reward for his actions

Two separate incidents, the first was a passenger taken ill with a suspected heart attack and in the other some dirty little scroat took a dump in one of the coaches
