    Was off yesterday and today. I did the callouts on Xmas eve, so the aul lad responded to 2 calls today. Back to normal from tomorrow, Christmas is over as far as I'm concerned.

    Flip side is the others in the house are off to her home place till Saturday. Free gaff!

    I dont think he works for TFL- just that they are responsible for the train cancellations due to CrossRail

    Nope, I don't work for TFL, although £60k for pulling a lever in a train for 8 hours a day would be sweet. The line that brings me into Liv St. is TFL Rail, the Crossrail upgrades have been going on for feckin' years. I could get a bus to a near-ish Central Line station but that would add 20-30 mins to my morning, screw that.

    TFL don't actually run any trains i thought? They just manage the transport... for London?

    They manage/run one of the opened sections of crossrail/new Elizabeth Line, until the new line is fully open next year some time.

    Although some might agree with your ruin comment.

    :D

    They took over the route from Liv. St to Shenfield maybe 2 years ago (from Anglian iirc, they still run into further parts of proper Essex), the line magically appeared on the tube map around that time. There have been shiny new purple Crossrail trains running for the last few weeks now too.

    Yes. Most of our customers are in Europe and were back to work today never mind tomorrow. Christmas doesn't seem to be as big there as it is here. In a couple of years I can see the request for "cover" on Christmas day itself becoming standard in most exporting companies.

    I'm currently off the last 7 weeks on sick leave, due to illness. I hadn't enough contributions so I'm not receiving illness benifit. So I'm living a shoe string lifestyle..
