[Doorslammer]

Ah, looking good.

 

[Pumbaa]

I really want to have a unit number in there that ends with an odd number - it looks too precise for my liking!

 

[laseandre]

Sorry, nope!

 

[rail-britain]

What about the Class 08, 67, 90, and sleeper stock?
Sadly repaints (or more correctly, revinyling) will be a long drawn out process and may not be completed until the end of the franchise!

 

[laseandre]

Yay! Locos! I'll edit them. But I thought the sleeper locos wouldn't be getting repainted into SR? Back to EWS? I'll forget the sleeper stock - I'm not a carriage counter.

 

[rail-britain]

The existing Class 90s in FSR livery will eventually be revinyled
Talks are ongoing about having two Class 67s in FSR livery for December this year, obviously if this proceeds then they won't receive FSR livery it will be SR livery now

 

[87015]

will be SR livery now

ScR surely, unless you like green. Thought you would know the difference between the Scottish and Southern regions??

 

[rail-britain]

SR : Saltire ScotRail
Don't blame me, thats the abbreviation we're using at First Group!

 

[laseandre]

m8, where do you work (location-wise)?

 

[rail-britain]

First Group Aberdeen
Started on Monday 01 September

 

[laseandre]

Do you know where the ScotRail offices are in Glasgow?

 

[rail-britain]

Yes, they are at Caledonian Chambers
I've been twice now

 

[First ScotRail]

The HQ isn't at Caledonian Chambers.

 

[laseandre]

Atrium Court?

 

[First ScotRail]

Yep.

 

[laseandre]

Doing w/e there now! Hope to see m8internet or at least someone from the forums there.

 

[First ScotRail]

I take it your in the HR Dept. They'll treat you well.

 

[rail-britain]

You're not likely to see me, unless you're involved in an employee investigation

 

[laseandre]

Yay! Investigation!

 

[rail-britain]

So far I've investigated about 50 incidents or reports throught First Group in Scotland
Only three have gone the full distance to interview with the employee present, others are pending
In about 30 the employee failed to turn up on either the first, second, or both interviews
My role at that stage is simply to present and confirm the evidence, once I've done that I leave

It does appear that fraud and theft are on the rise...
Earlier this week all the staff at a well known travel centre were suspended on full pay, although I am only able to prove one of them is definitely "at it", and we have already proven that there is no fault in the equipment or systems

 

[me123]

If there's theft involved, it will have been in the Glasgow area

 

[rail-britain]

No it wasn't actually, it was in the Tayside area

 

[me123]

Ahh, people from Scumdee

 

[djw1981]

No it wasn't actually, it was in the Tayside area

That narrows it down rather a lot......one might have though that as an employee you might have to tread carefully, lest it prejudice any prosecutions / disciplinary action.........

Ahh, people from Scumdee

or Perth, Montrose, Arbroath, Pitlochry, etc

 

[rail-britain]

Providing I do not disclose actual property, locations, and/or employee names, then there is no breach of confidentiality
Although, a good point was raised by someone else that as I work for First Group and not the actual First Bus company involved in the investigation, then I shouldn't even be mentioning outside the group company I work for, bah humbug!
However, all the First Bus and First Rail companies are subsidiaries and I have authority to walk into any of them unannounced

 

[me123]

You're forgeting; djw and I should be experts on confidentiality

To clarify, my earlier comment was not to "frame" the Dundonian Travel Centre team, and should not be regarded as fact in any way, shape or form.

 

[rail-britain]

If you check the Contract of Employment, then it is Gross Misconduct to even mention or discuss First Group and/or its subsidiary companies outwith work, bah humbug
However, I do remember reading a few years ago about a British Airways employee that was sacked for discussing flight plans and how to create, ironic when this information is already published and readily available to anyone!

 

[djw1981]

It is also gross misconduct for many employees (I know not the details for FIRST) to go to pubs in Uniform, to be wearing incomplete uniform in a public place, to disclose their company's non-public information (i.e. leaks prior to press releases). however, in most companies these are not routinely followed up. Though I guess people like M8 will note them down lest they are able to use them in a future case, when the full book needs to be thrown

Interestingly the use of computerised results etc systems in the NHS has decreased security. In the old days, you (as a student) copied the results out of the notes, suitably anonymised - e.g. DW 26yo M. which unless you knew who was on the ward would not make any sense. the computer record, when printed by students, gives name, ward, d.o.b etc as well. Hence many med students buying shredders and panicking if they think they have lost their notebooks!

Experts no. Know about its relevance in 2-3 main scenarios yes. SAdly internet fora are not one of them. Anyway, unless Scabby teach i in the First week, you are not an expert yet......

Most companies turn a blind eye to employees travelling to/from work in uniform, after all it is FREE publicity, but as you rightly point out providing it is not disreputable

Sadly I cannot follow up any employee blagging away confidential company information, although I can take note and report the incident for investigation
My expertise is in financial auditing, fraud, and so on
It would be quite different if I saw an employee handing over tickets and/or passes for cash outside of the work environment!

Recently found someone selling First Group property, without autorisation, on eBay UK
To my surprise eBay UK were very quick to act and very cooperative when we asked for the persons details, after a few faxes were exchanged
