    Just in addition to some of the information above, the 50% off the car and 4 passengers applies even if only 1 passenger has the priv pass.

    4 x scotrail staff plus car on Stena Line Cairnryan to Belfast

    Thanks very much for the replies above especially about everyone driving off the ferry together, that will save time. I had a phone call from them after I posted and the girl was very helpful, acknowledging that there is indeed an anomaly and that I should take advantage of it by dropping my...

    Equalisation Rules

    I'm surprised you think you have a fair system when it sounds the same as mine. Take my second example. At my last depot, at the start of April both drivers would be on zero and by October both drivers would be on 15 points for Sundays and 25 points for rest days. Both drivers have had the...

    Equalisation Rules

    Yes thats the processs and I have done but unfortunately he's more Driver A than Driver B and is therefore very happy with the system. I would have hoped there was some origin to equalisation and that it was brought in for fairness to all drivers. 'All drivers should have the same opportunity...

The reason I ask is that in my TOC it varies between depots, in particular the points allocated to someone who puts in a Not Available (NA) for rest day working or for a Sunday. At my current depot the NA goes unpenalised...

    Clocks forward

    I appreciate your positivity but there is not a chance that will happen at our place. We have a job with 12 and a half hours turnaround on a Saturday night and I can guarantee the driver on the day the clocks go forward will work that turn with 11 and a half hours rest unless he/she calls out it...

    Clocks forward

    Is there any allowance on diagrams for the Saturday in spring when the clocks go forward. If, on any other Saturday of the year, the turnaround time is 12hrs 01min between shifts, then on this day, he/she will only have 11 hrs 01min rest meaning the driver having less than the requisite 12 hours...

    Thanks very much for the responses, very detailed as ever on here. The trains are stabled overnight at the terminating station, and in service next day approximately 5-7 hours later. We sometimes close the doors (normally if there are no cleaners around) and sometimes put the pans down if...

    Immobilise v Dispose of train

    Can someone please explain the difference between these two tasks and specifically how long each of them takes for say a standard 3 car emu. Also, are dropping pans part of any of these tasks. Thanks.

    Guys, looking for help. I have used my FIP card for discounted travel in various countries but have never used my free coupons. I have sent away for my free coupons for travel in Poland on 7th/8th April but can you tell me what else I have to do. Do I still need to contact ticket companies or...
