if the union wins its strike action will mr lynce's pay rise, and would he be eligible for a productivity bonus?

it may well do, but if the strikes win or a deal is agreed, the public will associate any rise with the strike...

i'm not anti-union, or anti-govt. just a pensioner, but a 10% rise, if given will then be the norm for every other union... and lets be honest the railways are in a tough place, they are trying to entice the public to get back on the trains. If they do "win" the rise, some passengers will have...

if the strikes go ahead, there wont be any increase in drivers "thank you's"...

i think, but gladly except correction, that every job no matter what or where, has to have a degree of training, the old adage "if a manager/anybody is missing we can manage, but if the toilet cleaner is there's chaos", or words to that effect... so all jobs are important, and the experience...

the booking office staff can help you if you are not sure of something, or help with a query, or suggest a better option,whereas a machine needs the right input to throw out the ticket you want. Also with a machine, you don't get the pleasure of a face to face interaction, and a thanks for your...

its alright having a smartphone, but some of us are not smart enough to use it for everything...

i would have thought a "work phone" or a specific number would have been used, that would tell the centre a in house call...

thanks... 1652200812 thanks...

i know this might be a silly question, but they say a silly question, is the one you don't ask... and i've been retired a good few years now so out of touch, but do the train crew still have to put detonators etc out, or will the signal box do the necessary protection...

i always thank the guard when i'm getting off at my local station, as i have to pass them, whereas the driver is in the opposite direction. As for terminal arrivals by the time i get to the front of the train he's well away. I do remember one occasion at Liverpool st. i was trusted by shmbo to...

well are these rare incidents getting more common? i know with covid staff have to isolate, but cancellations are a lot more common, and not all due to the covid, is it staffing levels, now is that down to TOC's profitability or staff not being able to be recruited. Or and don't get offended...

my personal feeling and experience long ago, is there is not enough staff, i think back to the early 60's at Crewe station, there was a staff cabin/cafe and it was nearly full all the time, spare crews etc, if someone phoned in sick there was a replacement in situ. The same with rolling stock, a...

so what is the legal position if "someone" approaches you and asks to see your ticket, are they required to identify themselves, if they don't can you ask them to?

the main consideration is starting points, a top notch driver due to training and experience is worth his salt, a road sweeper(do they still have them?) is still worth his salt, but not as much as the driver, but their bills are the same, they shop in the same shops. So do you hold the driver...

every worker has the right to withdraw their labour... but, and there's always a but, with every price rising people have choices to make... now rail staff deserve a pay rise, so do most other workers, but, and there's that but again. Both the service and the demand have got to be in place, and...

"a different company" etc excuses, could/would be redundant, if dare i say a nationalised rail company, was brought back... but then again i'm just a rail passenger, who prefers to go by rail, and likes/expects to get to a from b quickly, as cheap as possible, with no hassle, and in dignity...
