    XC Vs ScotRail

    I'd rather have lots of variation as well but most have had a reduction in routes over the past few years so any change to that is a good thing.Can remember many moaning of three circles and North Berwick in a shift.

    XC Vs ScotRail

    I'd say XC work content would be the one to pick as coming into scotrail Edinburgh waverley you'd be stuck down the lower links for quite a number of years.

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    Can't ever remember getting a pay increase to learn a new traction,accepting a new method of working doo or docco or whatever would attract a payment of some kind.There can be agreements to be reached regarding length of training and training weeks being 5 days instead of the usual rostered 4.

    Ex-TfW 150s could be put to good use at ScotRail

    222s. This was a good year and a half ago,was meaning if there is interest in some 158s there may be a need to keep it quiet.

    Ex-TfW 150s could be put to good use at ScotRail

    Long before the tender went out for HST replacement we were told by a union source that there would be but couldn't say what due to commercial confidentiality though we could read between the lines.

    From what I can remember and it has been a while but we never put more than four coaches on a 37/4 due to the low index of the ETH.

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    Yes indeed and they haven't made much inroads into the numbers leaving so far but my depot will be so over compliment soon that we won't get a sniff.

    Ex-TfW 150s could be put to good use at ScotRail

    They might have been great the first time round,but they were brand new and almost anything would have been an improvement on the old 101s etc,but the 3 plus 2 seating was not popular.
