@M0JEC @RPMarks @DF97678 Yes because opening windows is more like to break the aircon.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@Cai_ParryJones Oh no. They’re given work equipment to do*checks notes* their work.

@obioneyouknowme Train manager as in guard not gaffer.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@Train_PlaneHub Nowt to do with cost of electricity. The ohle needs upgrades in the midlands to cope. However for a new service entirely under the wires it’s poor showing. Even the freight companies are looking at bi-modes 88/99 etc.

@gceccles @GarryBrookes56 @concaveasitwere @philatrail Well as I was talking to both you and twin peaks and twin peaks said why can’t we operate at low speed past etc. the “royal”? you not times individual but as in relevant company management etc would be held liable should that person the kill themselves as a result.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@GarryBrookes56 @gceccles @concaveasitwere @philatrail Yes you can you really need to look up corporate manslaughter laws. If you know the person is then and then instruct trains to run you be some responsible regardless of actions of the victim which in this case would be deliberate trespass with intent to self harm.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@gceccles @concaveasitwere @philatrail Why is it always the same ones commenting ? So your driving trains past person then jumps from structure. Grabs the over heads or jumps in front of train that’s a corporate manslaughter charge. You guys really need to stop and think about commenting.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@philatrail Like what? Suicidal person Phil? What do you want us to do? The train missed them so they stood on a bridge and threatened to jump if anyone went near them. So what’s your solution to that?

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@gceccles @Stillwel9 @ChimeWhistle Great where you getting ether extra millions? PTS isn’t a 5 minute course. People quick to forget that tragedy the other year where one got killed on the ecml? This whole thread ignore she real issue gay the Btp year on year has had to work with a budget that hasn’t gone up.

@JGourd7 @tms1967 @SouthernRailUK @northernassist @RAIL I keep forgetting we live in a time when people don’t get the answer they like, they assume it’s all made up. The lack of critical thinking is astounding. You’ve been told where to go look and ask officially. Or do you think we just share controlled documents for fun?

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@JGourd7 @tms1967 @SouthernRailUK @northernassist @RAIL If you work on the railways you know where to go to access them. If not you can freedom of information them the governments Land transport security department. Also why the hell you replying to tweets from 2019v

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@BrokenBritain_7 @ChimeWhistle Can tell you don’t understand how it works. The union is made for by its members. The leadership is elected to represent us. They negotiate on what we ask for. If those negotiations fail then they come back to us to ballot for strike.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@WilliamBarter1 @SimonCalder I’m off till Monday. But I think I ca get some DOO monitor photos Monday as we can see how poor the new standard is.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@SarahSanders58 @Elwick70 @SuzanneEvans1 Sarah do you even know how they complete the list? I’ll give you a clue they don’t use items like tescos finest bread they will use the basic no frills range even you can understand that? It would be moronic to use luxury items.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@SteamieRomance @prazebeeble The rule book definition is as I’ve said.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@SteamieRomance @prazebeeble Train refers to everything between the head lamp and the tail lamp. So if the steam engine runs light it’s a train.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@dontknowwhy03 @SteamieRomance Imagine being such a coward to post from an anonymous account. What’s it like living in your mother’s basement?

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@paultrowntree @ChimeWhistle @gceccles @diana_blamires Bedford Bletchley services have everything to do with it being the only part of the route already in existence. Hence why 196s have been moved from LNWR to chiltern and the fact that LnWR who will run the biggest section of route do not have a DOO agreement.

[Gavin Robinson @TheDriverG]

@paultrowntree @ChimeWhistle @gceccles @diana_blamires Nope EWR is an extension of a service that has guards. Bedford Bletchley. Ergo guards.
