Warrington s**t hole has been online for a couple of months, staff are "migrating" every week from crewe, I think most of Bolton are already there, although correct me if I am wrong; "volunteers" from Liverpool are already there although the Liverpools work has not moved yet. A number of die hards including myself are left at crewe stringing out the few crumbs of work that are left for us to do.

The buildings at crewe should have been locked for good last weekend but with warrington struggling to clear and having to divert work back to crewe and the number of staff that have not finalised their futures the closing date gets pushed back.

Most people feel we've been totally f*cked over by everybody, not much love going around at the moment, leave to you to read into that what you will!

Crewe's last day is this Friday, one big rush to do the last 121s.
If true, one postman held out ,as he did'nt want to go to Warrington and got a buy down .........to work one day a week ( saturday).
And from what I hear others got a 3 day week with a buy down..

been away, just had a look at the replies, sounds like chaos, I persoanlly wouldn't choose buy downs as in the long term you lose out, I might consider VR tho.

I just heard one the RM staff in Crewe committed suicide over the move, quite sad it must have been an overstressed colleague.
