the metro

[Sleepy]

Could have at least thought of something a little more original than the start of an oft-used valentines poem, in October.

They did, but it was delayed, their systems failed so the staff didn't get the memo etc etc... they're shite.

 

[Fletch]

You lot must be really annoyed that it was a Mackem that was instrumental in getting the Metro system built in the 1970s

was a good idea, just lack of investment means its utter shite now

 

[Fletch]

Fucked again

 

[errant]

Fucked again

Is it that time of year again for Low rail adhesion?

 

[heroesof73]

Fucked again

mods can you make this a sticky please

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Fucked again

Ben will sort it.

That’s what they say aye , yet the train is running fine , but full metro system struggling, it really is on its last legs

Can set your watch by that excuse... unlike their timetable.

Every Monday morning is a disaster.

People should be asking why.

why ?

 

[Boot Cleaner]

Mine was fine. Turned up at heworth and immediately a Empty regent centre train. At monument in 8 mins. Well done the metro

 

[Wilfy]

Fine for me this morning. Well done Ben.

 

[Brian Griffin]

why ?

It's a public body.

What happens at a weekend that routinely mean trains don't run properly on a Monday morning?

They do maintenance routinely on a Saturday and Sunday - does something happen here that affects Monday mornings?

They don't run as many trains on a Saturday or Sunday - are the un-used trains the ones that are failing?

Do more staff call in sick on a Monday than any other day?

That's just off the top of my head - if my Monday performance was always terrible my company would try and get to the bottom of it at least.

They do maintenance every night but are fighting a losing battle because the rolling stock is so old.

This morning they blamed LRA for one set of delays - this could have been dealt with.

They also had a signal failure.

Neither of which are anything to do with old rolling stock.

I didn't know that. Do the rail mainlines never suffer signal failures?

The status update blames part of the delay on a train failure.

'Part'

So what about the rest?

 

[zwartekat]

'Part'

So what about the rest?

Low rail adhesion, obviously.

 

[Brian Griffin]

Low rail adhesion, obviously.

Why wasn't the train out over night doing the rails?
