Fake Ticket Fail

It seems a bit too obvious to me.

Is it actually a coded message perhaps? Some MI5 thing?

Signed a member of staff? Sheesh!

I thought they didn't issue ammendments any more, just a new ticket?

Except it has got the "North Greenwich" stamp on the back which they could only have got from the Super or the TO........odd.

But why the blu-tac date amendment? And anyway, the writing on the back was writing on the wall.

Yeah, [member] does, IIRC. Anyway, how funny did you find it?

Off topic, Is Canary Wharf to Stratford in Stratford group?

They have moved again very recently as part of the 800 jobs axe, I'll see what is where now!

Your pictures are really good may I say, I spent an hour looking through them all last night!

Ta chaps. Keeps idle hands busy from trying to pry my hands away from strangling myself.

I was given a letter over two and a half years ago saying I was now a trainee T/Op, but I've also had many letters after that saying that there's now some huge waiting list because nobody did the maths at the time during the two recruitment campaigns in 2007/2008 and thought "You know what, maybe we're taking on too many people?"

So unfortunately, whilst my career is in limbo, I have to go through this station bull.

There aren't many possibilities apart from going back to group reserve. Or maybe SRT. They keep saying I'll go back to being a group reserve, but again, I refuse to believe any of it until it is in black and white and on paper, addressed to me. After all, there's the issue of what group I go back to on reserve. London Bridge Group or Stratford Group? Officially, we haven't moved back over to Stratford Group yet.

The whole reason I got rostered in the first place was so that I could plan my life and know when my rest days are months in advance and everything, something important to me not just for being able to function outside of work, but because it is an hour's commute every day for me (2-3 hours on weekends if the Met is shut down with the Jubilee) and on extreme shifts I have to leave or get home at stupid hours. I nominated stations closure to me years ago, but they've not come up since, and they're thinking to axe a lot of the vacant positions and many full-time ones anyway.

Basically, yeah.

Never mind – I have my health, my boyfriend, some good friends and and a roof over my head. Got to try and stay chipper!

I did a day's shadowing, but where I work we have a good working relationship with the Train Crew, plus one of my good friends at the local depot is an I/Op, so I've basically got to learn a lot about the stock and procedures simply by asking questions when I've been assisting in various scenarios. S'all good.

3.1 I feel your pain. I joined in 97 as an SA, started as Edgware Rd Res. moved to Stratford as part of the original JLE team, ended up as the TSSA H&S rep. In 2001 I asked about moving to Trains and was told that I’d have to wait three months before it was advertised in the TC. It wasn’t advertised for a year; I filled in the forms and then had to wait another year before I got assessment, interview and training.

Hold on until 2012, they will be busting themselves for TOps. Quite frankly the best job on the combine. All power, girl, come join us on the front end, we are the Gods of the Tube!!!!!

"Gods of the Tube?" Interesting ;D

Funny how it's a 1 day off-peak anyway..

Not as much of a fail, the second one.
