are the parts with different job titles formerly part of different TOCs?

good for the union I say, no-one should advocate a race to the bottom and the misery that ensues.

Looking here there is no sign of a new formal application

given where it ended up, with just the lead bogie over the hole, the driver must have seen that something wasn't right and has done well to get stopped by the time they did.

looking forward to this being completely not acted upon. Maybe they'll add announcements apologising for all the announcements

Explosives do degrade, and they need to be absolutely good, not potentially good!

Is this something you've observed for real or or just something you've seen on RealTimeTrains? Because the data feed that the "Know Your Train" feature uses isn't 100% reliable, if the TOC inputs wrong information then RTT will show wrong information

I don't think that Orion would have reached where they are if they didn't have serious interest from some of the big boys

Orion is not trying to do a RedStar. They're not (as far as I can see) aiming to be a consumer level business. Rather, they appear to be targeting as their customers the likes of DPD, Hermes, Yodel, Amazon Logistics, UKMail and the host of smaller operators

it is definitely a particularly niche thing to be hoping that Lumo join a particular staff rewards scheme so that your own employer will cover Lumo in a reciprocal agreement just to be able to use them through the York avoiding line!

am I supposed to take them seriously when, multiple times on the Edinburgh page appears the word Because oh dear. And their first suggestion of something to do "near" Edinburgh is hire a campervan, drive a long way north and annoy the locals. 1630994467 Stevenage to Luton Airport is a...

there's about 4 bridge strikes a day on Network Rail bridges.

it's far, far in excess of the threshold we use to decide governments, make massive changes to the status of the nation, etc.

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire has some video from the scene 1629384839 from the video in the tweet I think it's the crossing here (no streetview)

I'm about 1k from the nearest bit of track, and in town- when the weather's right I can hear the assorted EMUs

going hard ball on rail unions would be a terrible idea, leading to total shut down. "fire and re-hire" is a scummy practice that can work if your workforce is precarious. Rail workers, especially those in Safety Critical roles, are not so- training takes time and money that the company has to...

do they send 8-car services to Kings Lynn on Sundays now then? 1628535023 It will though take a lot of negotiation if the powers that be wish to transfer all staff to seven day contracts- rather than relying on rest day working to cover Sundays

pre-pandemic this was a frequent issue on Cambridge fast trains on Sundays- packed 8 car services to London were common
