I agree entirely. Basically restore the Midland mainline service back how it was and leave the rest and get the local authorities to run. Just like Abellio seem to be doing with West Midlands trains and London north western

It's just happened at EMT so makes no odds. Whatever happens WMT is 20 mins from home I'll be saving 40 mins each way. So it's a no brainer. I'll enjoy it while I can but deal with any negative impact when it comes. I worked under the old restday pattern many moons ago and I've enjoyed the 4 day...

Because the conversation has progressed and the way it's progressed is by qualified drivers giving their opinion on the differences between toc conditions etc. You'll find many conversations in life progress onto different views and in different directions. Try to keep up

As they stand right now they seem fair enough. I'm personally in favour of better conditions for reduced salary. Happy medium territory etc. VTWC terms and conditions wouldn't suit me at all. I like the 4 day week too much

Who said I was s trainee

As I expect all Sundays to change for every toc. But with change comes different conditions and pay

I'm leaving EMT to work for WMT/LNW. I'm leaving because WMT is much closer to home. But there are numerous things to consider from different points of view like. A location you're in and nearest depots. Which depot you'd be based etc. For example Derby used to be Midland mainline and the work...

Exactly people are confused by it becease EMT run trains to Leeds in the morning and evening. But that's mainly for maintenance and logistics

Lol I absolutely agree and you're bang on. Someone needs to have a serious look it's so annoying. Drives me insane

It's not just on the train. Sitting at Derby station listening to the constant mind numbing announcements going around on a loop. It was like mental torture. Watch out for slippery surfaces don't forget the 3 sss's on and on. Then you get on the train it's endless.

Been a driver 19yrs been taking protein creatine pre workout and testosterone boosters for years. If it's purchased over the counter in the UK you'll be fine. American pre workout and fat burners maybe borderline but very unlikely to cause a problem. You'll be absolutely fine. Cannabis and...

Exactly all the wa**ers are doing is trying to stir ****. It's all the media do. I hate them. If you turned up at Manchester and really needed a last minute train to London changing at stoke or Crewe for London north western would save you most of the money compared to open return on virgin...

The chief exec from a Spanish train builder was being shown around the east mids recently. He was taken to chesterfeild barrow hill for a look around. That's all fact

Chiltern have a depot at Banbury

Cross country have a driver depot at Leicester but don't recruit trainees. Freight are setting on a lot of trainees but once you're in Leicester depot would be a good aim to have. West Midlands trains at Northampton like someone said. How far is Banbury

How far is Bedford? Leicester?

Seems harsh really. If there's a case for a service they should be allowed to submit a case. Like WMT running to Derby. Increasing the service to every half hour Crewe via stoke to Derby WMT in direct competition with EMT is how privatisation would work

Why are EMT not allowed into New street

It took them litteraly months when I applied in March. By the time they did I'd seen and applied elsewhere for a job litteraly on my door step. They're probably the slowest I've ever experienced when it came to siffting through applicants and communication
