As part of the debates and arguments about the current Industrial action, drivers are getting brought up a lot (even though largely irrelevant). The distribution of money and privatisation comes up a lot with people saying we wouldn't be paid as much if nationalised and that if we get payrises...

With regards to relocation you just go on a list and when a place comes up you can transfer. Think you can only do this once unless it's a swap. The progression to mainline you'll get a chance to apply as the job comes up, along with any outsiders but skip right to the managers interview

Now confirmed it's going back to Greater Anglia!!

Dropping the Abellio and just Greater Anglia again? That's not as bad. The artist impressions of new trains appear to have Abellio East Anglia on the side though

Why are all of you missing one of the most shocking things in this franchise change? All this talk of trains and timetables pfft! What about the fact we're changing to "East Anglia". Isn't that a ridiculous name?! (Assuming they have to drop Abellio as I believe companies have to drop the...

Sightly different on a 360...

Would a 360 do? As I'm working tonight might be able to get a shot :-P

What I find just as odd is the dock for the halo lamp. We don't have such things! :( 360s also, but I believe they came in before smoking in workplace was stopped :).

Thats one you can return the next day with correct? Thanks

Best way of doing this? Got free travel on Abellio GA so can either go via Peterborough or London. Out 24th April arriving around 1500, returning 25th leaving around 1500-1600 If I use National Rail enquiries I can get an advance ticket out £15 and back £19 from/to Peterborough. Yet when...

Starts in May :)

Drivers are being trained up for the 37 currently so I believe it starts running soon!

I just find H era marillion inconsistant compared to Fish era. Ok there was only 4 albums with Fish but they're all great. With H I find there are so many albums and a lot are hit or miss with some being too long with lots of filler. They seem to churn it out a lot quicker and I can't get into...

It seems to appeal to social outcasts (I being one also). I've also noticed a lot of the younger enthusiasts seem to be gay. Don't know if there's anything to that, maybe it's am outcast thing again. Might just be the people I know.

I just spoke to one of the other Stowmarket drivers and he said carpenters are already making some new gates identical to the old ones, thought that was nice! He was on his way to remove the 57 that ploughed through which is still there. Also he couldn't say what happened, it's still not...

One of those thoughts while at work.. Where I live (in my lifetime) has always had traction without a gangway connection at each end, (Ignoring the 156/153,315,317s,309, okay maybe I didn't think about this?), The 321, 360, 312 etc. However the Southern region seems to favour gangway...

Cheers guys, thats a lot clearer. I'm not a company man but do get annoyed when people complain about the trains when the company has little to do with them. For example Abellio has said Scotrail will get new trains, yet down here we have to deal with refurbishing old ones.. I suppose that shows...

Totally selfish but if it's Abellio and you currently work for Abellio is it likely you'll get free travel up there and on the sleeper?

I know the TOC's don't own the trains themselves so surely do not pay for new ones? I see a lot of people posting on Twitter about certain franchises saying for example "Virgin should run this service because they have better trains etc etc" but surely if Virgin took over a certain franchise...
