| Overtime Slip |
|
Standby Slip |
| Just about
the only time you wanted to see an inspector
was when he brought you one of these. This
one gave me four and a quarter hours at time
and a half. It would have followed an early
turn and still gave me most of the evening
off. |
|
Some duties
included time on standby, available to cover
journeys at short notice. The driver or conductor
would be given a slip with details of the
work to be covered. This might be because
someone was late or sick, or they might be
given a break before starting overtime. |
