No. It can leave from 1,2,3 or 4. Head south. Then driver changes end behind signal India 397 to access Rose Street Curve,and onto the FNL Though I have heard the Kyle trip has been cancelled

No. Platform two at Inverness holds 2 73/9s and 12 coaches. Been done before .

The staff would need to be TUPEd to ScotRail . Which is quite a long process. The drivers would keep their rate of pay if TUPEd,so no saving there. GB drivers have a far higher basic than ScotRail. The drivers could elect to stay with GB. I can’t remember the figure,but you can only TUPE if a...

And further to this. S25 stands at Willesden. Coach issues. Might be going back to Euston

I work for this company. I am permanent Not available for rest day worked. And have been for years. No one pesters me to work. I ain’t a cheer leader for GB. I’m a train driver. Who I work for is secondary. I Just carry out my duties to the best of my abilities.

It can’t get in before 0800. 1H01 from Perth is due in INV at 0753. S25 follows this and sometimes has to wait for it to clear a section. 1B06 also heading south has to be crossed. Kincraig usually. And then it’s the lottery of E13. Do you get a run ? Or train goes in at Moy for 15 minutes to...

Shifts are 0700/1900 and 1900/0700. Bear in mind that for commuting purposes. And next Year at some point you will transfer to Hitachi when they take over the depot
