ETR sign-on times update

As previously reported in Loco Express, RailCorp are seeking to reduce the Suburban Drivers Sign on times from 16min to 10min based on the current method of Safety Critical Documentation distribution and the inclusion of stopping patterns into diagrams.

The RTBU have requested written confirmation from RailCorp that Drivers are no longer required to read or carry the Timetable or associated STN’s and have also requested what RailCorp believes are the drivers required duties when signing on. These first 2 were provided with RailCorp also providing the RTBU with 5 items they believe are required when signing on however, they failed to recognize the other 9 items that must be completed at sign on. Members will be kept advised as this issue progresses.
