Are there any IMPs/LSMs/iLSMs involved or is it just their CSS machines?

Probably includes your iLSMs/IMPs/LSMs as well then. Instead of them running the larger batches they might run the 2C instead so as to not leave machines idle

If that happens then the CWU will probably go into disagreement about it

That's what we were thinking, but would love to know the details on how the trails are going

The CWU have rejected any trials on one pass as it is a game changer and will mean our job security , attanance patterns are unsustainable.

When Gloucester MC closed the only Bristol night turns the remaining ( those who didn't take VR ) 600 drivers were given were midnight - 8am. That was back in March.
