RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted September 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2016 I wonder if that horrible Peter Wilkinson gets a knighthood too! Indeed - although he seems to have gone to ground for the moment. Have his masters finally twigged he a big reason why the dispute has gone so bad or is he sitting in his office / lair preparing plans to screw up SWT / another TOC in the manor of a crazed bond villain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2016 Indeed - although he seems to have gone to ground for the moment. Have his masters finally twigged he a big reason why the dispute has gone so bad or is he sitting in his office / lair preparing plans to screw up SWT / another TOC in the manor of a crazed bond villain I think he's making a habit of it wherever he can - the man seems to be some sort of raving maniac as far as I can work out. Maybe we could do something to OBB in retaliation and make his days off a misery for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted September 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2016 I read in the loco journal that he's been asked to resign by the government as he'd made his position untenable He should not be asked to resign (which probably means a very generous goodbye package). He should be sacked. Simples. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Another bit of shite reporting. Someone has nominated Sussex CRP for three awards for projects which required Govia to co-operate (even if the extent of the co-operation was just not saying 'no'). Some of the ACORP awards are for individuals in the CRPs, some are for initiatives involving the CRP and the TOC. If the award involves a project in which the TOC also did something then they get jointly nominated. If the press think ACORP are somehow apologists for the TOCs or part of some mutual back-slapping rail industry illuminati then they clearly haven't met Paul Salveson or any of his colleagues. Example: 1 - Eric from the CRP hands out leaflets promoting use of a line - Eric gets nominated. 2. - Eric persuades the CRP to produce and the TOC to pay for a series of information boards on stations - CRP and TOC get jointly nominated. The alternative is that none of the CRPs (volunteer groups working in their own time don't forget) operating on Govia routes can be nominated for anything, however worthy, simply because they happen to be saddled with an operator everyone else hates.
