    It turned out to be the head of a projectile rather than unxploded ordinance.

    Service charges added to bills

    A job description or a job definition is not going to cover every nuance of said job.

    "Operational incident" at Poole

    Train routed into siding that is no longer under a possession but third rail still isolated in error. Ergo, train came to a stand with loss of power.

    Service charges added to bills

    Is it? I'd say that's just being good at ones job....the reward for which is generally continued employment.

    Sun front page- iPads for Train Drivers

    Up skilling? You'll be asked/shown how to log in, check emails or read a PDF, not write code... though I agree any training someone might genuinely need should be in company time. Do you get paid extra for driving a train that has a high degree of computerisation vs an older train?

    Formula 1

    Can't upset the current teams who all currently get a bigger slice of the prize money with 10 teams vs 12.

    Sun front page- iPads for Train Drivers

    What sort of payment are they looking for? If it’s to cover electricity for charging then fair enough (unless you also use it for personal gains), but as tablets are a quality of life improvement compared to lugging around multiple physical items this is not a battle I’d personally pick/support.

    Advice on fraudulently refunding tickets

    You can be "de arrested" in the UK providing you are somewhere other than a Police station. If the former, the record is only held by the officers pocket book, if the latter then you will be processed with record on file.

    Storm Isha may affect your journey in parts of England, Scotland and Wales on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 January

    That was more due to the design of the spigots on certain wagons, they were since modified to stop that sort of thing happening with other mitigations also put in place.

    Is a train driver worth more than a Naval Officer?

    Staff retention plays a part in higher wages. Given the cost and length of training, companies are not going to want high staff turnover.

    3 month old 737-9 Max depressurisation incident

    ^this^ It isn‘t a door, it’s a plug panel. It has no door furniture…ie has no handles, hinges or emergency slides etc with the inside being covered by normal internal panels.

    Xmas Day & Boxing Day Rostering and Pay

    Those T&Cs make no mention of enhanced pay AND a day off in lieu. But as above, you’ll need to speak to your own people as no one here will know your specifics.
