    In various locations across the country, railway workers are sacrificing their family Christmas time in order to perform vital upgrades to lines and infrastructure, improving efficiency and services to freight and travelling public alight. Spare a thought for these folks, up to their elbows in ballast and wiring and paperwork, as you tuck into your festive feast. I'll certainly be raising a glass to all my hardworking colleagues.👏🏻

    And just in case anyone thinks I'm being sarky, no I'm 100% serious. I've done Xmas commissionings, and it's bloody hard work.

      One of my co workers is working boxing day doing such work. The payment? £835!

       

      As you say Rich, he will work bloomin hard for it.

      We had one-off bonus payments for working over Xmas/NY, but only if we worked a load of shifts. Not for just one. Although we did get T+50% (or 75% for night shifts) for all hours. It does pay well, but then it bloody should.

      This is the first Christmas I haven't worked it for the last 8 years.

      Granted, it's not up to my elbows in ballast, I support an NHS trust OOH  for IT support, by my thoughts are never very far away from people that have to give up public holidays as part of their shift rotation.
