Consider: - Number of staff required to drive the trains may increase - Rosters have to be agreed with the Trade Union - It may be necessary to carry out an economic evaluation. Major changes to National Rail timetables can take up to 18 months. Rob. -- rob at robertwoolley dot co dot uk |

I asked a obvious question "Why does LU take 1/4 of a year to sort out the timetable" I got a non-answer from you and stick from somebody else - LU are hardly going to reply "We really don't give a **** about passengers, we do not forward plan and would rather pay a monkey to come up with timetables by hand when they have finished the Sun crossword rather than spec and purchase a automated system (beside, do you really think we are capable of spec'ing it) and our drivers would get the arse and going on strike if we changed their shifts with less than 90 days notice". Unless of course there are other reasons why, I think the above fits perfectly. I must remember to forward your nice commentary to the Timetables Manager and see what he has to say about it. -- Paul C Admits to Working for London Underground! |
