Will she be ok reversing a train into a parking space?
:rofl:
When trains reverse into a parking space they’re depot manoeuvres & classed as non passenger moves :thumbsup:

Smartbear, have you never reversed your car without a passenger? :P

Whilst I have always received less than a salary I could have earned in the private sector, these inflation proof pensions are a godsend and easily compensate for any reduced salary over the years.

These pensions are either not available to the private sector or are waaaaay to expensive. Looking forward to an annual rise this year of whatever the inflation rate is on 1 September, for the two which I am in receipt of. These pensions are rarely taken into account when public sector employees are looking for pay rises.
Wow, Nanu. A civil servant who realises how lucky they are. You are one-of-a-kind, Sir. :thumbsup:

Could you give ASLEF a call for us? :)
Never really thought of myself as a Civil Servant unless that means everybody who in the Public sector? More at the sharp end of public service initially then someone someone no longer at the sharp end but just as troublesome if crossed. :wink:
