It’s definitely painful, but you don’t realise it’s your waffling that’s causing the pain.
You, admittedly, have no idea whats causing the hold up but you know what’s definitely
not causing it
The points made about ticket examiners is that revenue has been decimated and at this point it’s far more important to rectify that than getting trainees back to work, so if it’s not deemed as safe for them then it can’t be deemed as safe for drivers. I don’t know what else to say to you if you’re unable or unwilling see any point of view other than one that is agreeable to you.
Passenger numbers are through the floor along with revenue, there’s no need for the amount of services and could easily be cut without anybody noticing. Maybe that’s the reason that there appears to be no rush to get trainees back, scotrail aren’t going to need them any time soon.
