| Update 1024 16 November 2023 | Thanks to a productive meeting with our friends at the Severn Valley Railway today, there is now the facility to show loco diagrams and which loco has been allocated to them on the availabilty collection page. A new setting in Roster Settings has been added to show the loco diagrams for steam and/or diesel diagrams as appropriate. This facility has been added to encourage those staff who only sign a small proportion of the traction fleet to make effort to make themselves available on days when they are more likely to get turns. While some staff are either 'available or not', some have the flexibility to rearrange their other work or family commitments and are more inclined to do so on days when the traction they sign is planned to run. The intention is not that those staff would only give their availability for days on which their traction is running, it is recommended that they are encouraged to give availablity, where they can, on all days, to enable the railway to better-cope with short-notice changes of traction. On balance, it is believed that better availability overall will be obtained. Thank you to the SVR operating dept for this suggestion. |
