That Chris has 'some neck' putting all those puns into one post.
He's only ribbing us. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Heard today from staff that it has been decided for definite that NO class 80x on the GWR▸ network will have a buffet, only a trolley service.

And? This has been known since 2014, so what's changed? There is a trolley service in Standard along with First Class on most HST▸ services since September 2015, and it works fairly well, apart from a few little problems such as the trolley only being able to go in one direction to stop it rolling back by accident. |

Forgive me if I am missing something, but I have yet to see a trolley in Standard Class on any GWR High Speed Train (HST) service to or from the Westcountry - and it would be pointless having one on any service out of PAD» after 4pm during the week anyway as it wouldn't get very far!

The position regarding the West Country units (procured later than the IEP▸ order ) had not been decided (or at least communicated). |

Seems to me that a certain amount of prevarication regarding the 802s, along the lines of "we'll be able to specify them differently for their longer routes" was a practical way of deferring the expected industrial action. I guess we'll see the RMT▸ trying to call out the guards, even though onboard catering is nothing to do with them. Paul |

From which staff? Management or crew? I've heard 'definite' news before that's been spread and that has ended up being totally wrong. The railway grapevine is long and twisty sometimes. |

Catering crew are mostly RMT too. |

Catering crew are mostly RMT too. I know. What I don't follow is exactly how the type, or existence of catering facilities on a particular train directly affects guards' conditions of employment. Paul |
