Has the hole with this Walter character in it been found yet?
Would you two like a PM with copies of the documents and details of how to access to the IET Familiarisation App?
I'm good thanks.
Ok you have the documents. They're really only half the story, as what you presumably don't have is any actual experience of dispatching trains.
I'm not going to say it's a complex process but it is an important one. I dispatch DOO trains (from the driver's cab) on a daily basis. Even with that experience I certainly wouldn't be competent to do so from the platform without further training.
If the staff who actually do the job are saying (via their union) they feel they have been inadequately prepared for new rolling stock I'll take that at face value. I'm not sure what you think qualifies you to know better.
You clearly have an axe to grind. You have access to internal documents, and evidently care enough to be posting extensively on these matters, so I imagine many readers will draw their own conclusions about your claims not to be affiliated with a TOC and to have no particular agenda.
