NEC shooting themselves in the foot. The new dates will do nothing but increase the chances of Ops staff coming into work, and once you’ve done it once…

Is there money in the connect services? All I ever hear is they're carting around fresh air!

The electrical control for East Midlands was planned to transfer to Derby this year.

29/06/21 the route was closed completely east of Neville Hill in the middle of the afternoon. YROC has had multiple examples in the past year or so, although not always necessarily COVID related.

TDs will be manually inputted in these cases by the controlling box. Any TD berth can usually have a description entered into it by the signaller.

You could, but the normal rules of releasing you would still apply and I can almost guarantee there would be no rush to let you go. Its not looked upon favourably.

The real elephant in the room on this one is the recent PPF restructure which, in some areas at least, led to at least a doubling in the number of Bands 1-2 management posts. Rightly or wrongly it has led to jobs that were once done by 1 person now being done by 2 or 3 all on the same 80-100k...

attribution clerks have absolutely no access to the GSMR system and would only ever know what was sent if they rang the box up and were told it. Basically it’s cobblers.

TDA as a data gathering exercise could be so much more if it was steered away from being used primarily to divvy up money and instead to give accurate data on what is the primary causes of delay and how to fix them

You can be fairly sure that you’re completely wrong

There’s a good example of how it works actually under the regulation in TS2. You’ll hear it a lot at the moment because it’s a mainstay during autumn where you have unreliable track circuits between two signal boxes.

Check out the 019 standard if you haven’t already. It’s basically the starting point

I don’t know the local area but it’s not as straight forward as that. For many of the schemes they don’t actually save you that much money. Only a handful of staff are lost and those that stay end up re-graded or in other locations being paid travel time etc, which can sometimes completely...

The fact he won’t even say sorry says it all. His arrogance is extraordinary. So many holes in this story, since when do you decide to drive 30 miles to test your eyesight. Even if the Durham trip wasn’t illegal, this clearly was.

Keeping everyone waiting just shows the utter contempt he has for ordinary people. Not that he should be doing this anyway. Clearly it’s he who really runs the government

If you’re talking a ROC type environment you’ll also have route control. A whole host of different roles exist in there

I completely agree in this circumstance and I think the unfortunate family on the receiving end of this were much more patient than many would have been. In fact I wonder if she’d have even set foot in the garden if it was fenced off. I certainly would have told her straight it wasn’t illegal...

https://twitter.com/grandad1975/status/1248247686563631104?s=21 Seen this video doing the rounds last night. In it a SYP Officer tells a family they can’t be in their front garden. No where in any regulations is this the case, and in fact the government have explicitly said you can be on your...

Nobody is disputing the actual good in adhering to the guidelines but the police are not there to enforce ‘guidelines’ or ‘opinions’ they are there to enforce the law. What some forces have been doing is not this and that should be called out. If the government wanted their guidelines to be...
