Fingers crossed indeed.

I’ve sent you a PM.

Northern drivers have had no RDW agreement for over a year. We can’t make up lost pay with overtime.

It suggests you’re belligerent towards rail staff.

The training we’re given seems to do fine at the moment, I’d say the arrogance should be directed towards someone suggesting it’s possibly unfit for purpose, who doesn’t actually have experience of performing the duties in question. I’ve noticed you’ve changed your signature, it mentioned a...

As I understand it, the mixture of different classes of traction (also freight / passenger services on the same routes), level crossings, use of AB / token block working, etc, all make the implementation of any kind of automation on the UK rail network a huge undertaking. And at a massive...

Some who’re potentially moving from MDD at Heaton have been told they’ll need to resit the psychometric tests, they‘re out of competency in that respect. So rumour has it.

What kind of information or prompts does DAS provide? I’m on 15x traction with nothing else in sight for a long time, so no screens in the cab.

Heard a rumour that the RSSB are saying that MDDs will no longer have to obtain psychometric passes…have you been told that? I’m familiar with Heaton

It‘s constant on this forum, people who don’t actually work on the railway seem to know what would be best for drivers, conductors, etc. Tedious.

Or when they have no rest day working agreement in place? Busking?

No RDW for Northern drivers, so no way to make up the lost money. Northern conductors have RDW available though.

Thanks to all for the replies

So, GSM-R is enough?

A question…which routes preclude the use of DOO? Is it for TCB only, etc? Any reasons it can’t be introduced in some area is basically what I’m asking.

I’m sure they’re devastated at such sad news.

That’s why I asked, I’m a driver too. Not like you can stop and ask them to move politely.

What would you suggest?

Thanks for the replies I’m making enquiries at work to see if there’s anything can be done to try to solve it, or at least improve the situation. I’ll not hold my breath…the seats are an ongoing issue

Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve got bad tendonitis in one ankle, not so much in the other. DSD, or bad driving posture? Mainly aimed at drivers who’ve been on a long time, I suppose. Just wondering if my malady is possibly connected to the cab, and how I can alleviate the issue. Another...
