    Themed graffiti

    Slightly pedantic but it’s famous for Bakewell Puddings.

    EMR MML services on Sundays too crowded - what should be done?

    In addition to @Hadders good point, a ticket does not guarantee you a seat if you haven’t reserved one.

    Car Transporter trains on WCML

    Also seen on Midland Mainline. Often wonder how many cars fit on them but that would also depend on train length.

    In the absence of any reply these would be good questions to ask at interview.

    Hope so! Photo might put people off asking!

    LNER to offer free period products on trains

    A positive move but the pic on their ad of handing a sanitary towel over isn’t exactly discreet. I wonder if that’s how it happens in real life or if it’s in a paper bag.

    Returning to work after a fatality??

    I’m sorry to hear this. Plenty of people return to the seat and although I haven’t been there yet I’d be nervous about going back I think. That said you should have support, a ride out over the area where it happened and maybe even time to route refresh. Be honest with your manager and OH team...

    Sun front page- iPads for Train Drivers

    Not relevant to me at present but some companies do negotiate additional payments for learning newer traction, yes. 1706793192 I can’t speak for everyone but a former employer required it. I personally want to carry the rule book as it’s good to consult it during times of disruption to check...

    Sun front page- iPads for Train Drivers

    Abolishing the need to carry the rule book, won, sectional appendix and who knows however many traction manuals depending on your route and traction card will make an immense difference to drivers and other train crew where relevant. They weigh heavy, bags aren’t designed to hold so much and it...

    EMR - Trainee Depot Driver - Nottingham & Derby (04/01/23)

    Was it a thanks but no thanks email or you are in the talent pool? I’m guessing they’re recruiting for the new trains coming in but there’s a limit on course spaces.

    Sounding the horn……??

    Not sure of the answer as I don’t do preps and only take trains off the depot once in a blue moon. Seems bizarre!

    Sounding the horn……??

    Can’t use ours anywhere on the depot or it’s classed as a near miss! Seems ridiculous to me. Surely you can warn someone you’re heading towards them. In a previous TOC we used ours to enter the fuel shed or as required.

    Sounding the horn……??

    Although I’m sure there are drivers out there who think they’ve seen a p-way person near a bridge some children just happen to be waving from. Happened to me before, I know! Even with my Manager was with me ;)

    Ran a level crossing what happens next?

    Welcome to the forum. As has been suggested and you have alluded to the fact there is a camera there, you may well have been clocked. My father once crossed a level crossing where the lights had just clicked on to red. He went on a course, which reduced his (fine or points, can’t remember). He...
