Usual crud you'd expect from a Daily Mail reading moron! 13p an hour increase Ha its probably more than he's worth. Thats why we're in a union pal to annoy prats like you!
Well then you should be ashamed of yourself for even considering reporting another! If your so open about this, tell your immediate colleagues what you are about to do so they can give you a wide bearth in future!
You would have been good in the Hitler Youth pal, why would you report someone for kicking a door? You don't know if he was having trouble getting the interlock or not so I suggest you keep your nose out, Railworkers have got a hard enough job as it is without the likes of you snoopping &...
Your final comment proves that you are indeed jealous! As GB says "its pathetic" :lol:
Keep playing on SimSig in your darkened room & pretend you've got a job!:lol:
So you make Driver Sims as a living and you think that makes you an expert on our job does it? Well I hope you didn't make ours because quite frankly its pants & nothing like the real thing! You play may trains mate...we do it for real!
As for you thinking that a signallers job has "more"...
I can tell you that it is allowed & no Handsignaler will be required, the Driver would first speak to the Signaller to confirm wich line he will be going over, its done when turning back at Stevenage or Finsbury Park!
You're the one talking rubbish!
The Unions don't want nationalisation to extract excessive pay increases! Are you the only one on this planet that hasn't heard of Drivers pay being increased 4x since privatisation where as under BR we had to fight to get public sector pay rises!
The reason the...
Are you new to the railway or something, its what happens all the time, its called being a railwayman. Slow running freight trains, locals, failed GC trains, all these things are sent to try us! You just have to sit back & let it wash over you or it'll drive you mad. Give it another 30 years &...
All this debate is pointless from the NXEC point of view as Xmas day & Boxing day are Booked Annual Leave days for us all, its in our contract of employment & nobody would be available to work.:D
I can't see GC, FHT and WSMR "benefiting" from the impending recession at all, its the last thing these operators need. How can TOC's prices be off putting as djw1981 has said £20 Glasgow to London, they just cannot compete with these prices for much longer. NXEC are going to do an offer costing...
I wouldn't expect you to know this, but the reason its a Driver's worst nightmare:
Think red signal, Slide by it, into another train, maybe head on! people Injured or Killed, the first one being the Driver!
If starting on a gradient the Driver will have to give it "the big licks" to even move especially with a unit like a 150. Of course it gets even trickier in the leaf fall season & thats where the drivers experiance gets him through.
You talk as if the Guard of old would appear like some avenging Angel at the first sign of trouble! which is rubbish, back before DOO most would put there feet up & have a nap between stations & not even bother with tickets, thats why they got rid of them!
The difference between now is there...
