Deleted, my fault

So why should the train driver or conductor care about the passenger’s needs? Not being funny but quid versus quo, surely. 1786652553 This is entirely relevant. Passengers are in uproar about a service without a toilet for several hours, quite rightly so in my opinion. OK to expect a driver...

Unless I’ve overlooked a comment I find it quite ironic that we are 8 pages into a discussion about whether or not it’s acceptable to run a service without working toilets without mentioning on board crew and their needs. Especially when many of the general public don’t take the need for train...

Staff will likely be sitting spare before doing the rest of their booked job. If it is the last part of the job they can go home, as they’ve done what they were booked to do before that part of the job. They won’t be used for anything else.

What about crew hours and personal need breaks? Can you go into a bit more detail as to what you think would work? Are you suggesting taxis from Nottingham to Liverpool and vice versa to get the crews there?

Am I missing something? It’s a meridian, not a 158. Edited to say I obviously have missed something.

Confused! Are we talking about someone who has either been sacked or left the company? Or are we talking about a tragic incident 6 weeks ago? Know better, do better.

I can assure you that great frontline staff have absolutely nothing to do with anyone at the top! (I really do mean anyone!) Please don’t think otherwise! They are purely decent people wanting to do a good job with the poor tools they have. 1785301763 They wouldn’t have enough units for 12 car...

Do you mean 10th of August or 8th or 10th of July? That might have a bearing on it.

What a tedious response. People vote to strike to better their terms and conditions. They don’t get paid when they strike. They lose out on their pension contributions. Northern guards took a massive hit when they were on strike a few years ago. I am personally anti strike unless it is health...

Hi. I’m sure the better informed will come across soon but you may wish to edit your name and any reference numbers out of your post. I hope you get some useful advice.

Apparently isolating the Auxiliary Control Isolating Cock can cause a burning smell outside the train. I don’t know any more than that though, @357

Thanks for the explanation. Hadn’t thought of that.

I agree with the idea that prison may be more attractive to him. How can someone expect a homeless person to stump up over £3,000 realistically when he is most certainly unemployed? Especially when in other areas of the law fines can be based on a proportion of earnings. The consolidated costs...

Great outcome for you. Worth posting on the company’s social media or a quick email to their customer services.

As long as the topper doesn’t interfere with the posting of mail, opening the box or I guess the solar panel on the newer boxes it’s all good. Probably good etiquette to ask permission but there are so many up and down the country and I don’t think people will have sought permission for all of them!

If the train is stationary and you are waiting for it to clear I wouldn’t expect a p-way worker to be standing in the middle of the track UNLESS maybe there is a line block, the signal is at danger to protect them. No, I wouldn’t report in these circumstances. If the signal cleared I would sound...

“…fined £1040 for shouting abuse at a conductor” I suspect a large proportion of that was actually for trespassing on the railway. Sadly, the police putting intoxicated people on a train is all too common in my experience. If they’re going to do that, maybe they should accompany them? (I know...

I think similar happened on EMR Intercity a couple of weeks ago. Man damaging anything in sight.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum! In the absence of any replies, could you go to your local station and ask staff there how to get the information? I’m from up North so realise that might not be practical - I don’t know what South Eastern stations look like or how they operate. To be...
