RMT welcomes wind farm investment
Offshore energy union RMT welcomed the UK government’s announcement of major investment in three offshore wind farms across Britain off the coasts of Norfolk and Scotland.
Over 5,000 jobs will be created from these projects in manufacturing, engineering, installation and operation and maintenance roles. GB Energy has also announced an agreement of £9 billion investment into floating offshore wind farms, which includes public stakes.
RMT general secretary, Eddie Dempsey welcomed the announcements which pave the way to thousands more good jobs and apprenticeships covered by trade union agreements on fixed and floating offshore wind farms on the UK’s Exclusive Economic Zone.
“We urge the government to continue working with trade unions, employers and supply chain contractors because good work standards and collective bargaining will be instrumental in achieving the maximum benefit of this investment.
“This is especially true for oil and gas workers who possess the skills but currently do not have clear access to clean energy jobs or a mechanism of transition without financial detriment,” he said.

1. Some bizarre complaints on here today, complaining that the automatic announcements are not being turned off for the 2 minute silence, whilst an unpopular opinion not everyone follows it (I do out of choice). People will still have connections or places to be.

Russell Brand getting arrested on The Bill. He denied all allegations there as well😂
Nothing says #WelcometoButlins, like watching a mother screaming and swearing at a 6 month old baby. Telling it to shut the fxck up and your pi55ing me off. @Butlins #BognorRegis, #Bognor.

A squirrel in Stirling found a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer on the wet pavement and sat down to eat it like it was his.
He looks like he'll survive the winter nicely,

Remind me,what is the difference between a Tamper and an 8 or 12 Car Thameslink 700?
Just been sent this on WhatsApp. So glad I don't have to live in Brighton anymore. Drunk woman boards a Tamper mistaking it for a Thameslink service. 😂 @Captain_Deltic @John_The_Fitter @TLRailUK @tlupdates @13milepost

Did you know British Rail installed an auto announcer on the InterCity 225 which is still in place on our trains? 🔈

It's hard to believe the Northampton to London route used to feature a few peak hours locomotive hauled services. The "Cobbler" existed up until 1990 as a peak hour premium alternative to the boring and austere multiple units used on the route.
How things have changed!

Strike action (RMT) at Chiltern Railways to take place on 12 November, regarding East West Rail dispute over guards. Same day as England plays Croatia at Wembley. No Mk 5s out and no trains to/from Stourbridge. Expect lots of short formed and cancelled services.
