A lot of companies have been trying to get staff back into the office from what friends have been saying. A friend of mine who has been working entirely from home for the last 4 years is now having to do a week in the office every couple of months, plus one day every week now. She says it is...

As said yesterday, as soon as people know which units are going and on which dates, it will be posted here.

Shrewsbury platforms are pretty good at this sort of thing and for minor delays don't need to be asked, they know which services have people connecting and which ones generally don't. For example a BHI-AYW service arriving a few mins late into Shrewsbury so is likely to miss the Holyhead...

For me my biggest issue is following somebody on the slip road who is trying to join 70mph traffic at 40mph rather than match the speed of the traffic they're joining. Second pet hate is when I'm trying to overtake a slower vehicle (when I'm doing 70mph) and you've got people tailgating because...

RMT sent out an email this week to Members with a survey attached regarding Trainline. Here is the email. Plenty of comments boxes to write what you think too!

Hi, I was also told there was a similar number of courses for the South (I'm sure there were more planned than North) but again, I can't remember who told me and whether it's credible or not! Either way there are plenty of courses coming all across the network.

This is a pain for those of us who use an authorised walking route across the line (in my case Chester) - when waiting to cross if theres a train in the platform with headlights on and no BIL/Hazards you can be sure station duties are complete and it will likely be moving shortly. You know its...

Hi, it's around 3 months classroom based (with 1 taster week working trains with a minder at your home depot), usually a week of nights somewhere in that for traction training. After the classroom training and rules exam, it's off to your home depot for route learning (depot dependent, usually...

Nobody knows yet. Best to wait and see when paths are posted and info is given from those who know when they know.

It was on West Kirby yesterday apparently, it only did 1 day on Chesters (Monday I think).

If a customer came up to me and said the machine was covered in spit and stuff and asked to buy a ticket I would sell them the ticket and contact control to report the issue so they can send somebody out to have a look and get it cleaned up. I'd never expect somebody to touch the machine when...

I personally wouldn't get your hopes up on it coming back, would they go to the effort of getting it on the lathe for the sake of a few weeks when there are only a few booked diagrams remaining and plenty of units to cover them?

I agree it is disappointing, but only because it was promised in the first place. If it wasn't promised, people wouldn't have got their hopes up (and then been disappointed following the change of plans). Given that the issues preventing it happening, bar the lack of units available, is all...

Thanks for the allocations. Timed it to catch 007 to work today. Rheostatic brake on sounding rather nice.

Not really sure what to make of some of the responses to this thread. I'm a conductor for another TOC. During our training we go through a large module regarding disability awareness, particularly hidden disabilities and it is drilled into us not to judge or come to assumptions. Questioning...
