Meeting between bosses yesterday and they are hoping platforms 3-6 for reopening for tail-end of next week.

Scotrail station staff are being shown around the station today, to go over where they can and cannot go/do. Looks more than likely to partial reopening on Wednesday.

Not on train, so been told i'm not entitled to one. Had a look on Amazon and Ebay but they are not the same as the ones supplied to train staff. T key is putting holes in the pockets, which only became a pain when my locker key fell out the hole from the t key. Cheers

No, didn't think of that but just wanted a rough guesstimate how much of a rise they got. Can chin them when i get back next week.

Have an interview for Train Presentation and been told that Sunday is part of the working week for these jobs and no extra payment which dooesn't bother that much but I've been told that 2027 is when the bosses want to implement Sunday as a working day. Now the question is, how much at the time...

If you are still interested in getting into the Railway, Blue Arrow are looking for Gateline at Central Station. Including Sundays it's around £30k with as much O/T as you want. After a year you can apply internally.

The questions asked will be based on the following catergories: Customer Driven Communication Descision Making Resilence There will be 3 or 4 questions on each category and they will usually ask a question from each one and maybe 1 or 2 technical questions. The "technical" questions will be...

Off topic slightly on this question. What was the dispute yesterday as to why some drivers weren't working their rest days. I thought it was a lot of them took it off for the cup final but was told it was a dispute and that was it, no details.

They'll be give me an example type questions. When did you give good customer service. How did you deal with a difficult situation. How did you deal with a setback. Answers can be work related or personal. It is hard to say what they will ask as there are a list of approx 20 questions and they...

Couple of years and if you're not safety critical (TE's are not), then you have no chance. Most staff park around Bridge Street which is around a 10 minutes walk.

You will be contracted to 13 Sundays per year, and that will tie in with the 7 day week. Most of the month, it will be a 4 day week and a long weekend (Fri-Tues off) every 3 weeks. Shifts will generally be earlies and lates, so getting into work with no public transport is a must.

I overheard a couple of station staff saying £1m per month but thought I misheard hence me stating sine the timetable started but with the above figures, maybe per month sounds more likely.

Since the temp timetable was implemented.

Rumour I heard they are saving close to a million £ with the reduced timetable.

Noice, which depot are based at?

Every TE walk out wage will differ from other TE's, outwith O/T and commission, some will pay extra in their BRASS and credit union. Some TE's wait at the gates to sell tickets between trains. I know of one TE that made almost £60k last year due to working most of his rest days (got hammered in...

Not a TE but have spoken to a few former Gateline staff who now are TE. Take home pay anywhere between £2200 and £3000 depending on O/T and commission. This is before the possible new wage increase and peak fare returning. The job itself is as easy as hard as you make it. Some starts/finishes...

Champange lifestyle on a lemonade wage for most people living beyond their means but drivers are on a champagne wage but they now buy the more expensive ones.
