Derby day trains

[ysmsa]

Imagine supermarkets not opening because they haven't got enough staff or say schools and doctors surgeries?

Sunday services are shit because the workers don't have to work overtime because they get paid enough not to, they are not "Compelled" to. You work in an industry at least show some effort to provide a service, people complaining isn't the problem is it?

Fucking fuming about the game and just got back but,

Schools and GP's don't operate on Sundays

Supermarkets is a funny one because 7 day working is a relatively new thing. They can get by with a largely flexible, part time and unskilled (no offence) workforce.
The railways, (train drivers, guards) can not operate with Sienna and Brad working a few hours at weekends for a bit of extra cash.

A lot of these trains aren't running on Sundays at present because the guards don't have to work so aren't.

The whole situation needs looking at but it won't change anytime soon.

The railways have moved to a 7 day working week but terms and conditions for staff and recruitment have not.

That's not the point, trains are expected to run on Sundays. I could quite easily have said hospitals.

Sunday supermarket opening isn't a new thing either it's been that way for 40 years. It doesn't matter if they are skilled or not they go to work.

Trains have always ran 7 days a week it isn't a new concept, the excuses are top to bottom. Staff who don't want to work and managers who wont fix it.

Some services cancelled because of short notice to timetables.
I think the Winter timetable came out today.
They have had weeks to sort it out.

A lot more trains run 7 days a week nowadays than in the 80's through to the 00's.

Running a 7 day service needs more staff but they haven't recruited enough.

Piccadilly as an example, was basically shut Sunday morning, not any more, busy as ever (when the trains run).

As I said, trains are expected to run but the working agreements of the staff have not changed.
Sunday working for many Rail staff is classed as overtime, it's not right but not a simple issue to fix.

Anyway, can't be arsed, more concerned with City being fucking useless.

Who knew our players had it in their contacts not to work Sundays!

I have never forgiven the cunts for stranding me in Manchester on boxing day a few years back when Piccadilly was boarded up for the day.

I hold grudges :)

Correct, people might want to actually use the trains at weekends for leisure activities but that seems frowned upon at the moment.
