As a tube driver, my contract is for a 35 hour week and I work an average
36 hour week. I get the extra hour a week they owe me as six banked rest
days. Anything else (such as late running or when a special service is in
operation means enforced overtime on some duties)is overtime at T1/3. If
you choose to work for somewhere that has a different type of contract
then that's your choice.

Gasp. 36 hours a week! You lot are overworked. I hope they provide you with
comfortable beds at the depots so you can go and lie down and recover along
with free therapy sessions to cope with such long hours.

No one is saying train driving is the easiest job in the world, but then its
not the hardest by any means either and it gets up peoples noses when you lot
get extra money & holiday given to you for doing no extra work, simply because
if you don't then you thrown all your toys out the pram and go on strike.

So whens next years strike due? Just so we can plan to be on holiday when it
happens you understand.
