You have 8 stations in West Yorks earmarked for closure....you fail to mention that these 8 are merging to form 4 new ones.

There are no station closures or predicted station closures in Region 1.

Mid and west wales - there have been no station closures planned yet and actually a new retained station has been created !!
However two day crewed have been downgraded to retained, any the remaining day crewed lost one Ff per station ( 6 stations )
Two wholetime stations have been changed to Self rostered crewing ( a form of the LLAR ) a total of 28 posts from two stations and the remaining being changed to a ' California ' shift system. In short losing a watch per station, a total of 35 posts, therefore in approx 4years have lost 63 operational posts from WM and below. I will say however the remaining posts have been given a shift allowance of approx 15% increase which is pensionable and the WM's changed to WM B's.
Station managers have taken a hammering lost nearly half of them, yet senior managers still drive around in provided cars and have suffered no detriment at all !!!! We're all in it together !! Honest
