I know friendship groups change but It’s almost as though they were only there for the piss-up with their mates. TBF, if you were giving it the big 'un and got a pasting like Garrp did, you'd not want to show your face again.

March 8, 20242 yr 2 minutes away from Birmingham. “This train will now be terminating at Birmingham” 🙃

If all goes to plan (not guaranteed given we’re currently sitting in first class!) then we’ll be arriving in Exeter 50 minutes earlier than planned and duly heading to Ladbrokes to stick our mortgage on us winning tomorrow 😂

Messed my up with both Carlisle and Blackpool and the guy on the way back from Blackpool on the buffet bar told me it’s all down to the overpaid drivers not doing overtime and not turning up at weekends

March 8, 20242 yr The bigger issue is that the train companies have been flying by the seat of their pants for donkeys years, reliant on overtime drivers covering the weekends instead of recruiting and training enough drivers to actually cover the timetable. One for another thread, anyway. Stick to the game (and relevant travel updates 😂) for this thread at least 👍

Do you think they should be forced to work beyond their contracted hours? Edited March 8, 20242 yr by Cheese
March 8, 20242 yr Just now, Cheese said: Which they have every right to do. Do you think they should be forced to work? They should work their contracted hours and shifts. Back to the match. Scrappy 2-1 victory.
March 8, 20242 yr 7 minutes ago, Cheese said: So they choose not to earn overtime because they're greedy bastards? Something isn't adding up... They choose not to work weekends and it fucks up the trains; won’t affect you though because you don’t do away games
March 8, 20242 yr 1 minute ago, RUREADY2ROLL said: They choose not to work weekends and it fucks up the trains; won’t affect you though because you don’t do away games That's their choice. If the train companies want weekend cover, they should plan for it instead of expecting drivers to give up their free time to work beyond the contract they signed.
March 8, 20242 yr Any win will do but hit them from the start and improve our goal difference. Love it if the three behind us all drop points

I think your conclusion is a tad flawed. I can understand it’s frustrating if you rely on them and but it sounds a bit fanciful to have a pop at not working overtime.
March 8, 20242 yr Too many train drivers wanting to see football matches at the weekend got to be less stressful than driving a train full of happy go luck supporter on the piss

Choosing to spend time with their families or on their social lives instead of carting a load of piss heads off to the football! 😁
