Quote: | The government is being asked to fully investigate the circumstances behind a train company cancelling all its Sunday services this weekend |

The company can't employ drivers on a voluntary basis. They need to employ drivers who work weekends on rota basis. ( And pay them a different rate ).. The company could be heavily fined and a black mark against them for not running routes and getting their house in order. |

They run Sunday trains on a voluntary basis and then cut the wages of those who volunteer.
You couldn't make it up!

That is indeed the problem. It's the travelling public that I feel most sorry for, but I hope all their anger & venom is directed to the right people, the bosses who cut the wages. _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |
