Title: A "Thank You" to Network Rail staff working over Christmas and New Year Post by: grahame on December 28, 2019, 06:03:04 From a passenger's viewpoint, rail travel in the last couple of weeks has been rocky. However - word of thanks to those Network Rail staff and contractors, most of whom we have little or no direct contact with, who have been working on the infrastructure over the Christmas period and will continue to do so into the New Year.

Grahame not to forget the many contractors who worked through Christmas, often a long way from home staying in hotels, delivering the improvements to the infrastructure alongside Network Rail colleges. I am now fortunate in my role that I can be home over Christmas, some years on call though Title: Re: A "Thank You" to Network Rail staff working over Christmas and New Year Post by: grahame on December 28, 2019, 08:10:53 From a passenger's viewpoint, rail travel in the last couple of weeks has been rocky.

I have gone back and added "and contractors" to my original post; "Network rail staff" was shorthand for "everyone out there working for Network Rail whatever the contractual arrangement" Title: Re: A "Thank You" to Network Rail staff working over Christmas and New Year Post by: TaplowGreen on December 28, 2019, 08:40:33 From a passenger's viewpoint, rail travel in the last couple of weeks has been rocky.

"Rocky" doesn't even come close, but fair's fair, in the overwhelming majority of cases this was down to GWR, not NR, so well done to the latter for doing their jobs over Christmas and maintaining the infrastructure, even if there was a desperate shortage of crew to keep trains running on it!
