FCC Staff Travel on East Coat Mainline

Does anyone know if FCC staff can travel free on east coast mainline on a weekend and if. So does this include a bank holiday?

FCC and EC staff travel agreement

Right to set the record straight I can confirm the agreement is still in place and there has been no discussions that I am aware of to terminate this agreement.

FCC Staff

Monday to Friday can use East Coast services between Newark Northgate and Kings Cross for residential travel only ie to and from work, no leisure travel during the week is permitted.

Weekends can use any service operated by East Coast across their entire network in Standard Class only unless of course you happen to have a First Class pass of course...

FCC may use EC anywhere on the network on sat and sun but technically not on bank holidays.

That said, 90% of guards will let you on for free bank Hols.

In that case be very careful, as the ones who won't can be very militant. The worst of the bunch are hostile to EC staff, so would have no qualms at being hostile to staff of a another company.

And, the worst of the bunch has also been seen back in the job!
