Id be fascinated to see how u have worked this out… please explain more??

i think shunters/supervisors at most of the GN depots n sidings are RMT and theres only enough contingency to open so me of the sites on 12 hour shifts 7am-7pm

you do talk some rubbish sometimes. my understanding is that journey planners should start to be updated from tonight onwards. that’s for next week’s strikes. for 18 to 2nd i am not too sure what the latest is, but at one point last week the plan NR we’re communicating to operators was changing...

id say give it a chance to do the upload, check back in the morning. itll be publishing thousands of schedules tonight and is probably only half way through at the moment, if that.

im in such a two minds about this. very much all for my rmt colleagues getting a pay rise given the events of the past 2 yrs and the cost of things at the moment, but i know a lot of my fellow management and admin operational grade staff who are not part of collective bargaining who are going to...

You could put the train into smith field but you would never get it out. To come out you have to run bang line through City TL, no way youre ever doing that during the day, there would be no gaps. Even if there were it would be a massive performance risk. It looks like the return circuit to...

When you terminate in plat 2 then where are you going to go from there…?

GTR websites look as tho they’ve been updated with a bulletin laying out all expected the service levels

In answer to the thread title….. yes

Not sure where youve heard that about Thames link, look on RTT, next week has the Rainhams run through to St. Albans instead of Dartford, and that’s it, no different on other routes I’ve heard that is the final TL version of plan for the foreseeable.

I understand Brighton driver depot has been particularly affected by Omicron/COVID-19 absences.

I wrote ‘put simply’ because the long answer is they are cycled, but not during normal service. I believe there is one path each way on a weekday as indetified above but I’m sure someone said that it’s on the same drivers duty as post-maintenance trips out of Hornsey DEPOT. So if there are...

Put simply, they aren’t cycled.

One of the issues over the past 18months with the 1txx has been platforming at Cambridge. Some of the 1t must use platform 1 but due to signal sighting in platform 1 for 12 carriage 387’s, an extra driver is needed to dispatch the train competently. Obviously the extra cost of an extra driver...

I travelled just under a month ago to Fort William and the Inverness lounge car was heaving/oversubscribed… the staff called through to the Aberdeen lounge car who said they were empty, so people were sent through to there instead. Says all you need to know I reckon.

I believe this happened around a month ago in the early hours of Saturday 28th August I think, or around then. I seem to remember it ran from Hornsey Depot to Herne Hill and back.

That raises an interesting question. Semi-hypothetical situation perhaps here, but would there be any compensation entitlement (albeit informally) if a passenger was diverted, had to wake up earlier yet still made it to their destination on time? I’m thinking perhaps when the Fort Bill portion...

Important to remember network operations/control/trainplanning teams behind the scenes slogging away at getting plans together that will actually work with the resources that are available … whether theyre suitable for passenger demand or liked by passengers or not. Hidden heros of the railway...

My understanding is the 6 x 387s that we’re transferred to GN will head west (387 201-206) and then only 3 x 387s will replace them on the GN (ex Gatwick Express). The GN timetable seemingly did not need all 6, only 3.

Someone in the company has got a sense of humour... I can’t see it in realtimetrains yet but in the documents the last 365 pair are due to run ECS to Peterborough Nene Carriage Holding Sidings as 3P65... :lol:
