I am not!! Honestly!! :D Maybe there is history here about this kind of debate but I am unaware of this if there is. I just asked why no-one would have done what I would have done - pulled the cord. Whats wrong with that????

"Uneducated comment".......... A bit like the guard then.. :roll:

Why didn't they pull the cord?

I don't think so! Surely you meant you HOPED to touch a nerve...... Lack of drivers comments here suggest your pathetic comments are just being laughed at. :roll: Next........

Hi. Just heard there will be no FCC services after 1800 tonight and all day tomorrow because of the weather. (also no loop service at all too) Not heard anything about Southern yet. Anyone know any more? Thanks.

I once traveled First class in the quiet coach from Bristol to London. My phone went shortly after departure, it was my best mate. We chatted for about 5 mins then I hung up. As I was taking my jacket off to settle in the woman in the next row up from me politely pointed out this was the quiet...

The new FCC 377's (southern for the pedants) cost a little over 4 million new to buy, not to build, to buy....

Agreed. You are an adult so will go to an adult prison. Pass the soap mate..... :D

Years ago we used to get sent out to start up whatever engines were left in the yard that particular night. Start them up, leave them for an hour or two then go and shut them down again. Only happened when it was really cold.

It takes over a year to train a driver and there are hardly a handful in the system now as I type. To have a full establishment of drivers to prevent this kind of thing happening again would mean the company taking on a minimum of 100 drivers to cover all depots, more even. They would have...

The core is shut so I would say have a look on the FCC website for more details.

Hi there. Lots of problems with the Class 60's I believe if we are talking about cab environment conditions and also some units, I am sure the 150's were bad as are the 319's. ASLEF, the train drivers union tried to do something about it last year with a campagn called SQUASH. This was all...

I agree with that mate but you would be wearing a HV branded with your TOC. A spotter wouldn't.

I am not convinced. Give us a couple of examples........

I was answering the question based on the original question. Being a cyclist I have a Yellow HV vest and a Yellow windcheater/waterproof jacket. My poncho thing is Yellow too. When I bought my car kit for travelling abroad a while ago the HV in that is Yellow. Virtually all road HV...

If you wanted to wear one to be 'safe' then you should not be in a position (as mentioned previous) to take pictures so you really really do not need one at all. I can't see any reason in the world why a spotter/non pro photographer would own a HV vest, unless of course they worked on a private...

Don't know about GN but TLK drivers are getting used to the time off now and quite like it. Those whom I chatted with today and the last few days, even the hardcore "13 out of 14 days" drivers are enjoying time off with their families. Anyhow, this email is doing the rounds from a FCC driver...

Eh??????? :D

They still think they are going to run a full service next week or the week after........ They reckon drivers didn't sign up for rest days this week as they only just found out the new deal and they are hoping that drivers will sign up for the following week. Sorry to disappoint FCC but no...

There is a seperate post for that, let's keep this FCC! :D
