Well noticed:) The PM in the blue hat has no PTS. AMCO are NWR principal contractors throughout the UK. I'm sure they will love the publicity, although loads of work contracted to NR.

The police & courts are going to see that, as far as i'm aware. If it is recorded who strikes bridge, they are liable for any damage to strucural damage through insurances including delays. This is usually done through court cases. That's what i;m led to believe anyway.:|:|

I'm sure new drainage & slab track were installed around then.

I'm sure there are only three. May be someone can confirm. Shields, Carstairs & Portobello.

There is a new overbridge going over Haymarket Station. Meant to happen a couple of weeks ago, but they had problems with the road crane. NR decided to cancel lift & rearrange date.Didn't realise it was this week.

Final salary pension is now vary rare in this economic climate, fair enough if it is protected. Good, that you quote these figures on the full time staff, although i have my doubts. Hope it is this case:wink:

I would slightly agree on both points, other than the pensionable staff. From what i am led to belive, the many different railway companies have pension schemes, although some staff members can not contibute untill so many years of service, although this has recently changed, which is very poor...

I would not say more, other than part time staff in which 75% are not union members if i recall Better paid staff, are the upper managers of the TOC,s or IMC,s, not us lowly staff members, from my experience.:o

Thanks for the info guys:D I have the FIP card but no longer valid, last stamp was 2002. I have never used it since i got it. Been over to France & Belgium with Eurostar many a times, but those trips were booked through my local ticket office. Will contact the offices as per your replies &...

Hi folks. Can any of you kind pepole tell me if the original BR staff discount still applies. A number of years ago all BR staff privilege ticket holders were entitled to a 25% discount on the Eurostar fares. Is this still the case ? I know it will probably be cheaper buying a fare...

Yes. I agree that they are not doctors:) But knowing some staff, possibly make some sort of officious point by stopping folk that they think are under the influence. Bad idea:roll: Agree that this may cause trouble particularly at gated barrier stations, the BTP are never far away though & i...

Although i am not one for drinking alcohol on the train, if the Scottish Goverment intend to pass a law to ban people that are drunk from boarding a train, this could cause problems.:( No doubt you'll get some barrier attendent, picking & choosing who appears to be drunk.:twisted: I have a...

When working on a railway platform under high street enviroment, it usually involved setting up a secure fence around the worksite. A COSS is usually required, as they can act on any emergencies that may occur, ie fouling the line, failsafe working or to prevent working outside the fence...

You could possibly find unreserved vacant seats in the coach that has the buffet, or the next coach. If the train comes into Platform 11, you will be opposite the station concourse. The train will possibly be a bit quieter after Newcastle anyway.:)

Try drying the tobacco out. You will soon get a "kick" I normally somke Spanish fags, Fortunas Red, these somkes give me the same kick as when i smoked the baccy, Old Holburn/ Drum :D
