Andy thanks so much for taking the time out for me and putting that up,is that a 5 week rolling Rota that you do?

Ahh cheers bud so you don't have a shift patteren as such are you told the week before what your rest days are for the following week? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Really looking for examples of the shift patteren they would use for a 36hr week with Sunday's included

Hi bud no not any particular company just really would like to know which rota the TOC'S use for a seven day 36hr working week for train driver. I know some already do this just wondering if there is anybody on here with information on the rota they currently use.

Hi is there any train drivers on this forum who work a 35 or 36hr week with the Sunday's included in their normal working week and if so could you let me know what the shift patteren is Many thanks.

No you don't you need to work your rest days to make that wage..IE your Sunday shifts so it's hardly a 35hr week is it???

Hi bud no it's for all drivers over the uk they can't work anymore than 6 days on the bounce for Saftey ... I'm very supprised to hear that the employers/Union allows train drivers to work so much and for so many days without a rest just on the Saftey side of it alone. Got to be honest I...

Thanks for the reply bud. It seems to me that working a 4 day week in some cases (not all) is just a myth as some companies have an agreement to work enforced Sunday overtime.

Thanks bud

Are you a driver?....

Johncleesefan hahaha we have all be there,I start at 3 o'clock with the current job I go to bed when am dayshift at 8pm...breaks the soul especially in the summer nights on a Saturday night when your neighbours are enjoying a bbq... What's the train driving role... Is it a good job in a whole??

Hi can anybody tell me what it's like for a driver's shift of a daily basis?..I know everyday is a school day and it will be different ,it's just to get a proper insight into the drivers role. Thanks in advance

Sorry skinny Dave I've got it now it's not a 5 day working week.i was just getting confused trying to work it out.

4 on 4 off is a great work /life balance all round for employer and employee.

Thanks guys what my question was,are the Union any way further forward to sorting out the enforced overtime on a Sunday I.E the two enforced Sunday shifts per month. I thought there was plans to introduce the Sunday into a new shift patteren to include it as part of the working week? With...

How long will the drivers be asked to work a 5 day working week..( enforced Sunday overtime ) rather than a 4 day working week? Or will the 5 day working week turn into a permanent situation basically that's what am referring too.

Hi Willie thanks for the reply,is there forecast to be a proposel regaurding the shift Rota in the near future?Was it part of the pay deal?

Hey Guys/Gal's could anybody give me any information regaurding the new proposed 7 day working week proposel for Scotrail drivers.I know there is a working party that was set up to look into this but was wondering if they are any way further forward.
