Ask ASLEF.....it them that are making that claim.

Of course. Every driver & every depot are different. There are drivers that would accept McDonald’s vouchers as a pay deal & there are drivers that believe for us to go DOO(P) we should be on 75k a year mark

Don’t need to. I believe they have access to the rosters on their phones through ‘My Intergrale’

No! If drivers on SWR strike. The network would shut down completely. Even if you factored in the drivers that would work during strike action

Erm.....we are already paid significancy less than all TOCs. But yet the only TOC that have safety critical guards. So I’m happy to be significantly paid less

I guess it really depends on you on which TOC you really want to work for and things like which depot you live closet too, travelling times, pay, terms & conditions etc etc. But on the other hand you could go to the interview hopefully pass and qualify and then go to the other TOC as...

Some management maybe be working all the strike days but still isn’t enough to cover all the routes. From the contingency guards I’ve spoken to. Majority of them are now getting fed up of working and doing the same routes repeatedly so they are now starting to take their days off to which most...

Due to lack of contingency guards not being competent on the route

What we (drivers) got to realise DOO has been in operation for last 25/30 years on most of the other rail networks. DOO(P) is in SWT/SWR drivers T&Cs. DCO/DOO is coming. MTR are directing First Group in the negotiations, MTR want the suburban services and want DOO. ASLEF stance is all the...

I did drive only on the extremely early turns but the way traffic is around town I was finding that the train I could get home would past me and I would be still sitting in traffic. Erm.....I will be honest with you the management at Waterloo is a revolving door. You won’t know your manager for...

Well that depends on which depot is closer to you and what your transport links are like for you to get in for the early turn and home from the late turns. I can only give info about Waterloo as I am based there. Earliest start is 0430 Latest Finish is 0030 There are good jobs and there are...

Interesting......I think you’re naive to believe that suburban guards never leave the cab. I know for a fact that the suburban guards I work with all leave their cabs. Granted there are times of the day where that is impossible. DOO on London Underground is slightly different than DOO on the...

Basic months wage

The info came from the RMT reps themselves some time before the talks restarted

Yes. It is alleged RMT will give striking guards a basic full month wage

Glad to see that RMT seem to think drivers will be opening doors!!

I would use braking zones rather than points. As in leaf fall season the Braking points you may have does take in consideration that you may not give yourself enough time & distance for you to stop at stations and also puts you at risk at stations where signals are held at danger for...

Hopefully he’ll pass on his knowledge, retire and allow a younger person a job soon who will no doubt pay into the pension fund... etc etc

To go DOO then split the network & Waterloo so they can hand the suburban to MTR/TFL & keep mainline

I believe it’s DOO
