@N3WO123 What you and all the others fail to understand is that you aren’t just automating the drivers job you are automating the whole railway system. Some of this system still uses hand pulled points and signals, some of it is still lit by gas lamps. I’d like to see how you program that
@obioneyouknowme Load of garbage. Walked in off the street in 2005 for my trainee drivers job. No family members on the railway and I couldn’t tell the difference between a locomotive and a unit.
@1701aStarship Also the effect of this type of shift work on the body. An average of 5-10 years reduced life expectancy. For females a 30% increase in the likelihood of breast cancer. Increased risk of diabetes and other disorders like IBS
@UU_Ess_Pee No ‘extras’ at all. All allowances like night shift and mileage were incorporated into basic pay many years ago. Only overtime payments show as extra and obviously that’s if you work it.
@writebikerepeat Did this in 2022. Watched the ladies race on the Saturday in the Roubaix Velodrome the went to Carrefore on Sunday, where you can watch on big screens with the crowd. Amazing experience, real bucket list stuff.
