Sorry if this has been done before, but couldn't see any threads like this one. Who's the most famous person you have seen on a train? Best I can do is Mike 'Stevo' Stephenson in FC going from LDS to KGX. But then he used to drink in my local across the road from Leeds station anyways.

Wakefield Kirkgate. Worse than Beirut on a bad day even.

You got my vote! Many a time I have had to go and waste an hour at the bar waiting for a delayed service.

It's called the butterfly affect. I know, I watched Jurassic Park. Or was that for the chaos theory?

Ditto! Bags on seats in rush hour is so annoying. I must say I sit on the aisle seat as I only do a few stops on the local line and will get up and allow people to sit by the window so I don't have to make them stand when I get off. Unless they are getting off at the same stop then I move to...

Ah okay point taken on the Javelin, sorry the 395 :D. Many thanks.

That may be true, but hitting the brakes even a second or two before something is spotted can make a difference. I would only support trains without drivers if the track and platforms were 100% secure.

No that is fine thank you very much. I just want to try one. Will be coming straight back from there.

Help required please, Looking to go on a 395 tomorrow, but not sure which services from STP use them. Or do all services from STP to AFK run 395's? Tried looking everywhere to find out but no joy, sorry. Cheers Dave

Hope you got it sorted. And I won't be coming to any of your BBQ's Andrew :wink:

Sorry to the person involved in this thread. It does all sound a bit harsh. But then misuse of priv cards is very serious and it is up to the employee to make this known to their partners/family who have the use of them. Mine did and still does. I am no legal expert, but surely the TOC's or...

Agreed yes, they do happen. And I certainly hope this forum doesn't lose any members due to this thread, or indeed any comments I have made. In a safety critical industry such as railways, I don't believe reporting mistakes is snitching or telling tales, but vital to ensuring that safety for...

So you are saying train drivers are hustled? Either way lorry drivers break the rules or train drivers do for their bosses. Either way both should not. It's down to the driver that is what I am saying. Buck stops with them. Not the bosses. If I got told to break the driving rules I walked...

It's the same in lifts. Full lift gets to a floor and everyone is surrounding it to get on. But it's full and they can't get on until people get out, and they are in the way so they can't get out. But they still stand there like lemons! Get out the bl**dy way you idiots or you can't get...

You have no idea about supermarket delivery timings :lol: But yes I checked all my lights front, back and all the side markers and number plates and air brakes, air lines, wheels, tyres, and heights for bridges and tacho and oil, water, fuel, screen wash, cuddly toy and sleeping bag. Every...

Don't be silly. Get your @ss back here. My comments have only been towards idiots who give good drivers a bad name! Don't you dare leave because of that sir! Sorry!

Okay put it another way, and sorry to the chap who has decided to leave the forum because of this but....I was a HGV driver for ten years. I had to check all my lights before taking a wagon and trailer out. What is the difference?

Isn't a near miss a hit? But I digress.......

Even if you get the right email address, most CEO's or COO's etc all have PA's and other staff who have access to their mailbox to pull out the customer emails. So it will go back to the usual route sadly.

But the point is if they keep doing one thing wrong, that is enough to take them to task. As they may start doing other things wrong. I hate snitching, but not when it comes to safety. That is interesting thanks. Food for thought. Just want to get it right. Cheers.
