http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-18893265 I don't want to turn this into a union bashing thread, as I've stated before I am in favour of them, but .... Is the RMT mentioned in the report the same union that ballots EMT staff for strike action if there is a pay offer of less than 5%? Is...

This is a followup to the thread "Too much sport on the BBC", which I think has been deleted. Anyway, the BBC have today released their annual report, and in reading about it, I spotted something interesting .... That's right, in the last year, there has been 389 hours less sport shown...

In the last few minutes, I've been getting a few database errors. These have happened when going to the usercp and viewing a profile. Just a heads up for the staff here.

From the "Public Misconceptions" topic I don't know if it's happening at any other stations, but TPE have put up notices at Scunthorpe station which state that it is an offence to knowingly buy a child ticket if you are aged 16 or over, or buy a child ticket for someone who you know is 16 or...
