RMweb Gold JohnR Posted May 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2022 Must be due shortly - last one was in the first week of Feb as I recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_stevens Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) It looks like it should be this Wednesday... Spring 22 was 02/02, Winter 21 was 03/11, Autumn was 04/08 and Summer was 05/05. All of these were Wednesdays so Wednesday 4th May 22 would be expected, but there is nothing on the Bachman website to indicate that something is in the pipeline.

159220 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Fantastic! I asked this on a thread below a few days ago. Fingers crossed for a 'modern' DRS Compass 47818 and a super modern GBRf example. Some Anglia Mk2Fs and the biggest recent omission, a DRS DBSO! We haven't had a re-run of the class 158/159 in a long time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted May 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'm wondering whether Bachmann will have much to announce at all, with all the items that we already know about slipping because of the situation in China. The new Bulleid coaches were probably scheduled to be included this time, but now that they have slipped to Sept/Oct, presumably they will now appear in the Autumn announcements in August instead. If Bachmann is drip feeding a few new 47s each quarter, I'm hoping that the Green FYE version will be up next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird - that's actually illegal. Employees must be given a day off for a Statutory Bank Holiday although if they work on that day it is quite permissible but they are then entitled to a day in lieu of having worked. What some companies do - including my final 'big railway' employer is add the Bank Holiday lieu day entitlement to the total Annual Leave but that has to be an addition to that leave and not instead of it. Legally most UK employees working a 5 day week are entitled 28 days paid Annual Leave per annum - leave in lieu of Statutory Bank Holidays worked should be additional to that. Anyway our bin days are delayed by one day evert y time there is a Bank Holiday in the week - which can get quite interesting around Christmas and New Year as the Bank Holidays stack up.. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 @The Stationmaster I am sure they get days in lieu, but they do still collect on bank holidays apart from Xmas Day 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of errors in there. There is no legal entitlement to be given extra leave for bank holidays in the UK, and the employer can include bank holiday within those 28 days. See: https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights which states: Quote Bank holidays Bank or public holidays do not have to be given as paid leave. An employer can choose to include bank holidays as part of a worker’s statutory annual leave. Roy Edited May 4, 2022 by Roy Langridge 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in South Staffordshire our bins were emptied on Bank holiday monday Dito down in here in Sussex Over recent years its been increasingly common for more enlightened councils to ensure their waste contracts are structured such that collections still take place as normal on all bank holidays other than Christmas day.
