As well as a cull on CTC project staff it would appear to be "slash and burn time" for the lad and lassies in System Control at Swanwick. They tell me that several senior staff are going under VR whilst others will have to find jobs at CTC and elsewhere - if there any left. I am very concerned about the level of support that will be left in the Ops rooms at the completion of this exercise. Not just the numbers of engineers to support us but they used to be quite a good laugh to work with and now all seem totally p*ss*d-off with everything and anyone who dares to walk in there.
