![]() wrote in message oups.com... OK - let's see. Dag East unstaffed one time when points needed securing, Upminster LU-side left in charge of a medically-restricted DMT who could only do the "desk", emergency lights in cars can be just two tubes (like how dark it sometimes gets over rail gaps) - there are no tunnel lights at night in the open of course, the supervisor ar Rayners whom I met recently who admitted he's never been familiarised at that location in over 2 years!!! (his fault or his DSMs? Result same in any case!). Ok so you have some incidents. Can you supply dates? Was it recently or a long time ago? Is it still the same now? If it is and you are an LU employee, by your knowledge of these things you become complicit if you dont report them on. So who to you ask? CIRUS is still operating albeit not quite the same. And Im sure HMRI would be interested. If your not LUL- get onto HMRI. With regard to Dag East with med restricted DMT. I dont know that area at all so i only make general comments. The 'desk' is quite capable of being run by a med restricted person. Its not a safety critical position and surely you must agree that the desk man can't leave - who would be available to co-ordinate the T/Ops if he did. The last person you would want to leave there position is the 'desk' person. Like i say - i dont know that area or working practices, they may be different to places i am familiar with. I dont doubt you bit perhaps we see it from different perspectives. The Rayners SS, its his fault in the first instance, then his DSM should also be responsible - but he cant be with them 24/7. However at the money the SS is on surely he has the intelect to realise he needs it. Everybody must take responsibility for there actions. He could easily be familiarised when he takes the shift over, it does not need a manager to do it. I can only hope you expressed your concern/disgust to him/her at the time. After all, it could be your life in his/her hands one day. What stock have only 2 tubes on batteries? Educate me. Again stock i know has more than that. You got me on the no tunnel lights in the open........been underground for too long i think...time for a change! Lets sort it..... Mal |
