Who said im preparing to take part in secondary action? I said I wouldn't cross a picket line, so far as I know there's always a picket at my depot. Plus by the time I've passed out hopefully this will all be said and done. Edit - reading back at my original post I can see why you may think I...

Yep I've been told that - trouble is I'm loyal to my union, and RMT is my union. Will just have to reap the whirlwind. In my depot there are a few RMT drivers, so at least I'm not alone.

Even non union members can join the picket line, you have the "same" protection as union members (no disciplinary etc in connection with striking) but obviously you dont have the backing of the union power to call a local dispute on your sacking (which would be totally unconnected to your...

Im RMT since came up from internal promotion and will stay in my union as a driver. I will follow ASLEF strike days through solidarity( by never crossing a picket if one is held at my depot when I am due to book on) when I am fully qualified, until then me striking does nothing except delay my...

An Ipad or electronic tablet to have e copies of all drivers publications is a lifesaver compared to lugging round all your books in your bag. Also used for company training and communications. Obviously not switched on while in charge of a train or in a unsecured cab!

Winchmore Hill is Witchmore Hill for the day as well

When I sell a railcard, the passenger gets the booklet back as their replacement reciept. This also contains railcard T&Cs in it. I think 2.7 refers to buying a Railcard discounted ticket before boarding, as onboard staff don't have to issue discount fares, just proceed with a full price ticket...

They can (and will) use those 15 journeys if you reply in any way confirming that you made those journeys. They are also very good at their jobs which is making you "confess" They are not calling you in for tea and biscuits- they are inviting you to gain information for furthering their case.

Im ticket office, but do general cleaning/ snow clearance/salt spreading/security sweeps. Jack of all trades now! Being fair I don't mind it to tell the truth, getting ready for multiskilling

Booking office, revenue and platform at my TOC book their own holidays, we're not allocated

Last time I was in Hull there was no gates or barriers

Fair point

E ticket advances work on "my" gates, its the ccst that don't, but then we do have a seperate scu running the barcode scanners, so wouldn't surprise me if its 2 systems running in tandem Can only speak so as to my experiences at mine and other stations around my patch, and what pax have told...
