Mon 6 Jan 2025, 20:27 It's a strange logic that describes wage settlements as 'over generous' because they remove the need for a person to work overtime. If indeed that's the case. I don't profess to understand the arcane workings of the industry but the failure surely is in making the weekend schedules dependent on overtime working. Anyway, sounds like a case for now of grab it while you can... |

Mon 6 Jan 2025, 16:23 Weekend travel with any rail operator just a complete lottery. Over generous wage settlements mean that overtime working (necessary to sustain the scheduled service) is no longer needed, not to mention the high tax that these rates would attract! |
