Woking to Heathrow

In message , at 11:49:33 on Mon, 3 Apr 2017, Martin Coffee remarked: If a train is stranded without a functional driver then the situation can serious especially if the signalling is such that the signaller doesn't know exactly where the train is. I dread to think what might happen if this is somewhere without mobile coverage. It's a balance between what might go wrong once a year, and the cost of all those guards. Taking the recent concrete example of introduction of DOO, I'm pretty sure the agreements on Southern (for now at least) involve a member of staff being on every train (with limited exceptions), and I'm pretty sure they were re-employed on their new contracts with no loss of pay. Obviously both of these things may change in the future, but at present, where does your huge cash saving come from? Anna Noyd-Dryver |
