TPE catches fire, XC catches fire and people walk in front of trains, ALL LNER's fault, they have lots of problems with the introduction of new rolling stock but you cannot blame them for everything, unless you want to.
often due to staff numbers the dispatcher also has an assist to entrain/detrain which may be 3 coaches away from trts button location, to do assist first then press trts would likely mean a delayed departure, pressing button on arrival increases chance of on time start after assist complete.
can only talk about the station I work at but if we waited til the train was ready to depart before pressing trts then every single train would depart late, unless arriving early, yes it does happen, I would press trts once train had passed signal towards the south end of platform 4 or was half...
LNER already conveyed GC passengers from the first 2 ex Sunderland, and the 3rd after it only got as far as York, in addition to the first 3 to and from Bradford and 1 from Halifax, obviously since I finished work at 1415 the situation hasn't improved, there has to be a limit to the amount of...

if the train started in Scotland the bank holiday rule was in force for those passengers joining in Scotland, doesn't matter where they were travelling to.
cannot decide where to post this but I have a regular but time varied passgr who has a son in a wheelchair and he cannot bend his legs, the booked wheelchair space is useless for him and he is better off staying in the vestibule, obvs they must book wheelchair space but whilst I know the...
sometimes but I would rather approach the guard and explain why I think any passenger should gain what might be refused, unless I had checked to see it was a certain guard when I would explain to passenger that even with a valid ticket I would not join his train, most on here know said guard.
just to add a slightly different potential problem, I started work on the 2nd Jan knowing the Festive First had ended on the 1st, mid morning control sent out a message that Festive 1st was available today and I definitely told atleast one lady that yes she could upgrade for £25, an hour or so...
