Quite simply they were designed for full DOO. The original offer from GA to the RMT was to roster a guard only on the weekly roster, they were to run anywhere and everywhere DOO if needed. Obviously and rightly the dispute came up with a much improved situation.
that’s poor that they were only rostered up to the weekly sheets, and glad it’s been resolved, but they’ve had a long time to resolve this local door issue, and with the government speccing ever train to be futureproof local door should have been thought of previously.
