Well then if 'road use fuel' will take a while to get back to normal, then even '7p' on a litre wouldn't bring in the '£4bn a year.' Fuel duty increases hit everyone, including the poorest, either directly or indirectly. It only disproportionately hits against those who do lots of miles, and...

Surely the fuel wouldn't be cheaper than it was two months ago because you are 'assuming fuel consumption regains pre virus levels' which would mean the crude price would be up again. I think a fuel duty increase would stifle the economy, it puts people off travel and puts the price of all...

I guess I read it wrong. That would mean at least 9% a year for each of the four years, if it was done evenly over the time period.

I took it to mean it will rise to 72k per annum, over the staggered course of 4 years :s??

Sounds like a good role; and most things I read hint it's a good stepping stone to trainee Driver, albeit not a guarantee of future progression. A job that's a little different and a good grounding too, perhaps?

Keep plugging away checking Network Rail's website and other applicable firms. You'll have the right experiences to draw on for the interviews, so have as good a chance as anyone if you can find a way into the interview situation.

Just talent pool? Ok for any local hopefuls

I just had a look on the web and it is actually Cartford bridge at Little Eccleston which I meant (just up the river from Hambleton) :)

You can't be suggesting the Atlantean was faster than an Escort Cosworth?:lol: Although I'm sure the Cossie driver would be surprised when you went past on the bus :D. I remember the turn of speed and the drama on the big quiet roundabouts on the old 1980s Leyland double-decker buses for...

Very nice, I have been lucky enough over the winter to travel on the East Lancs railway, with this providing the (e)motive power. It could handle the 25mph or whatever we cruised at :lol:. Shame about the ticket running out, time for static display I heard. I picked up a magazine with it on the...

I wish, so tasty. I know these as 'Sad Cakes' locally. Just for during the covid crisis: Pleasington > Unpleasington Rose Grove > Thorny Grove (That one sounds like a plausible suburb or village name haha) Blackburn > Black Death burn Hope I caught the spirit of the thread with these three.

A telephone interview could happen, alternatively to a video interview. Consider a lot of people where they can will be working from home at the moment. Good luck, these seem to be great roles for the right person. :)

There is a lot of sense in this post. I haven't worked extreme varying shifts, I don't yet work on the railway, but to me shifts are something you just have to do your best to get well rested for. A mindset thing I find is to remind oneself of the extra money earned due to the role (or shift...

There is a passenger ferry connecting the towns of Knott End-On-Sea and Fleetwood in Lancashire; quite quirky I think but a long way by road. I seem to remember at least a few years ago, a local road had a hump type bridge over the river someway inland which had a private 20p toll! Maybe a local...

It's interesting how this opportunity (Northern Trainee Conductor/ Guard) was re-advertised last month before some people from the last time round had had a firm no or yes. I wonder if it will be a slow/ delayed process with everything going on in the world right now; I guess various people in...
