I work for this company. I am permanent Not available for rest day worked. And have been for years. No one pesters me to work. I ain’t a cheer leader for GB. I’m a train driver. Who I work for is secondary. I Just carry out my duties to the best of my abilities.

The 66 is back up front. Was away on a training trip
