I wonder if the constant staff shortages is connected to the ongoing industrial action on the mainland ? It must effect their mental health, knowing that they are scabs etc.
The mighty, fearless keyboard warrior! Ill assume you’re not so brave as to call people to their faces? Keep up the good work, whilst flexing your massive muscles in your bedroom mirror, alone.
100 % wrong, i do say it to their face, on more then one occasion !
And their response is “well, the mainland never supported us”.
Load of BS imo.
Happy now ?
ok, of course you do.
Merry Christmas.
Botty boy let me know when you are going to call one of the guards a scan to their faces I want to be there when you do so, so I can watch you hit the floor you keyboard warrior end
LMFAO……..You don’t know him very well do you !
Best tar Mac the entire length and run a tram on it Less staff cheap too
Living near Lake Station we often used the trains in the past, but they are so unreliable now it is impossible to plan a journey that requires connections for forward travel.
Funny don’t ever see them advertising for staff, but they don’t seem to have any , a bit like Red Funnell and Sh—tlink
Something to do with savings on wages, and keeping the share holders sweet? Back in the old days Managers worked their way up from the bottom, and would therefore be able to fill in where necessary. These days they leave University, with absolute no experience of the real world, I doubt very much if they know the back end from the front end of the ferries they manage.
Along with their stupidly high salary and 35 hour week, it is generally accepted on the railway you must have 28 days a year of sick with imaginery ailments that can never be tied down to swinging the lead.
Jab recipients are usually continuously ill with one thing and another.
One day the floridated masses will put two and two together..
We do not need the railway, convert the stations to assisted homes for the island residents
F U, I use the trains all the time, i presume that you live in an assisted home !
Does anyone know what happened to the Brading cat…..?
