26:09:23 Under the "Home Page", is a new section titled, "Solicitors Package", this is a simplified version of this website contents made to order! Atkinson, Mayne, Watson and the rest of you, remember this, "I will never give up".
25:02:23 I still seek justice and will be coming after those concerned (legally) eventually.
29:09:22 Grovelling Apology.
Directly below this section is a new article named, “Grovelling Apology”.
It highlights the Employment Appeals Tribunal behaviour and attitude in trying to silence me after I produced undeniable evidence that they failed to deal with my appeal which was received by them within timescales set by them.

04:01:22 I have not given up.
I have been quiet recently regarding this website, however behind the scenes I keep my ongoing fight for justice in the limelight, too many individuals and organisations choose to ignore my representations through sheer embarrassment, but one day I will succeed, Atkinson, Mayne and Watson will be the first to know.
11:05:21 I couldn't expect anything less!
Letter attachment states, "I must inform you that the EAT's role in this matter is now ended. Any further correspondence from you regarding this matter will simply be filled without acknowledgement or response".
It is always the same, I heard this from the Leeds Tribunal Service and from the EAT before, with all my evidence they have nowhere to go, they also know that there is nothing that I can do because there is simply nobody who can help me or will help me without tens of thousands to pay them.
The Establishment use there main weapon of choice - IGNORANCE - but I am far from giving up.
05:05:21 Wow, some sort of response!

29:04:21 On 23:04:21, I sent a further reminder.
Good afternoon everyone,
Please, will somebody respond to my evidence and please remember that being part of the "establishment" does not give you immunity from ignorance and certainly not from the truth.
The world is changing, individuals can no longer hide, one day I will get justice.

Good evening,
It is just over 3 months ago that I sent my response (documents attached).
Will I get a response to my information please?
Regards
Perry Webb
22:12:20 Response email letter attachment.
Dear Domingo, A. Harrison,
Please find details regarding this investigation, these details will clearly highlight that I responded to this appeal despite being totally ignored numerous times, the written reasons were not sent to me despite many requests, they were not sent to Shaun Brady or anyone connected with Associated Train Crew Union. I gave specific instructions on the last day of my hearing and followed this with an email request the day after.
I will respond to the appeal response that I received in August 2011 date stamped 27th July 2011.
I have also put a pdf package of all the emails and responses during the time period from 8th July 2010 to 25th July 2011.
Regarding the paragraph below.
“The Notice of appeal has been lodged 85 days out of time and by virtue of Rule 3 of the Employment Appeal Tribunal Rules 1993 as amended in 2004 it is the responsibility of the Appellant to ensure that an appeal is submitted to the Employment Appeal Tribunal within 42 days of the date the Written Reasons for the judgment or an order of a tribunal were sent to the parties”.
I received the written reasons on the 13th September 2010 by post. I confirmed this immediately in an email to the Leeds Tribunal and asked them to conform that I had 42 days from receiving these written reasons. I never received any response to this email, in fact I never received responses to numerous emails. Email can be found in the attached pdf package.
Regarding the paragraph below.
In order to institute an appeal from a judgment of an employment tribunal the Notice of Appeal shall be accompanied by a copy of any claim and response in the proceedings before the employment tribunal (ETl and ET3) or an explanation as to why none is included and a copy of the written record of the judgment and the written reasons for the judgment or an explanation as to why none is included.
On the 20th October I sent my appeal details to [email protected], attached in this email was - the judgment, ET1, ET3, and EAT 1 Form.
Calculating the time from receiving or even if the written reasons were sent to me days earlier, I appealed within the 42 day time frame. To be able to appeal I needed the details in the written reasons, as I never received the reasons until the 13th September I had no idea that they were supposedly sent out on the 10th July.
Regarding the paragraph below.
The Appellant appeals Written Reasons promulgated on the 18th August 2010 following a judgment promulgated on the 20th July 2010. The final day for appeal was the 29th September 2010. He filed his appeal on the 24th November 2010 but it contained no Judgment, ETI or ET3 and so was not deemed properly instituted until the 23rd December 2010. He states that he only received the Written Reasons from the Employment Tribunal on the 13th September; 2010 following a request for this. He was unaware that this did not include the Judgment which he received on the 22nd December 2010. He formed the belief that the time for appeal ran from the date of receipt of that copy of the written reasons and so he asserts that he filed his appeal on the 20th October and that is in time. There is no record of receipt of any email or correspondence on the 20th October. The email log is attached.
The judgment was issued on the 20th July, yet straight after my hearing and followed up with an email the following day, I made a request for this judgment to be sent to myself.
The written reasons were issued on the 18th August yet I only received them on the 13th September, I immediately emailed the Tribunals in Leeds and asked the question on time constraints, no response received.
I sent my appeal by email (contained in the attached email report pdf) on the 20th October not the 24th November as stated. This was 38 days after receiving the written reasons and within the 42 day time constraint.
My email trail was extensive in asking for information regarding details on my appeal, why was there a complete failure in any response to numerous email requests?
What more could I possibly have done? There was also no email log attached as stated above. Regarding the paragraph below.
He has subsequently claimed that as he received the Judgment on the 22nd December 2010. time runs from that date. However by Rule 3(iii) of the EAT Rules 1993 as amended in 2004 time runs from the date of the written reasons, provided these were requested orally at the hearing or within 14 days of the date on which the written record of judgment was sent to the parties or if they were reserved. The declaration on the written reasons is that the request was made under Rule 30(5) of the Rules of the Employment Tribunal so time runs from the date of the written reasons.
The first time I saw the judgment was on the 22nd December. As explained previously, I requested all information was sent to me straight after my Tribunal with the desk receptionist and followed this up with an email the following day. As stated above, the 42 days starts from the day the written reasons were published. The written reasons were supposedly published on the 18th August 2010, however I only received them on the 13th September after making a further email request, how can this be deemed fair, if the time starts from the day they were published but I receive them 26 days later? From receiving them on the 13th September 2010 I sent in my appeal within 42 days on the 20th October and made 9 requests for a response that the appeal had been received. What more can you suggest that I could do?
Regarding the paragraph below.
The appellant nominated Shaun Brady of ACTU (Associated Train Crew Union) as his representative on his ETL Consequently all documentation would be sent to that address.
I informed the reception straight after my Tribunal that all correspondence is to be sent to myself and consequently after this in the numerous email requests for information which were all ignored. I did speak with Shaun Brady and his staff just to make sure they hadn’t received anything as stated in the Ms P Donleavy correspondence.
Regarding the paragraph below.
Once he received the decision, he made the unwise assumption that time ran from the date of his personal receipt of the reasons and even then he failed to file an appeal within six weeks of that receipt.
Just look at the date I received the written reasons and the date I emailed my appeal, the length of time is clearly less than six weeks.
Can anyone explain the reasons why the vast majority of my correspondence was ignored? I made it clear on the day of my tribunal that all correspondence is sent to myself, from receiving the written reasons I appealed within 42 days.
If I was so fundamentally in the wrong, why did it take months to come to the conclusion that I appealed out of time? I was simply the victim of collusion between parties from the very beginning, I had Judge Grazin who took all my case management meetings and was therefore very familiar with the events that occurred, two days before my tribunal he is removed without any explanation and I am allocated Judge Burton, who quite clearly did not want to be there, complained he had a sore throat and felt ill and then spoke openly about the fact that he would rather be on the golf course, I was denied any form of justice. He ignored my plea’s of perjury and finished what should have been a 3 day hearing in one day and an hour the following morning.
I was cheated and denied a fair hearing, I will regardless of any outcome continue to fight my corner till the day I die.
Regards
Perry Webb

Dear Mr Webb
Thank you for your further emails to Susan Acland-Hood as Chief Executive for HM Courts & Tribunals Service. Your emails have been passed to me to reply on behalf of Kevin Sadler, Acting Chief Executive. I’m sorry for the delay in replying, particularly as I can see you’ve wrote to us several times. As with other department and industry, the coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic has had an impact on our ability to respond to letters and emails as quickly as we normally would. I’m sorry about this as I appreciate this matter is important to you.
We contacted the tribunal about your case. Domingo Rodriguez, Senior Manager at the tribunal looked into your concerns. Mr Rodriguez tells me that the notice of appeal was lodged 85 days late and the registrar refused your application for an extension of time. Mr Rodriguez has said that because of the age of the case, your paper file has been destroyed in line with the tribunal’s file retention policy. However, Mr Rodrigeuz has been able to locate the Registrar’s order and has sent a further copy of the order to you on 2 December, which you should receive very soon, if you’ve not done so already. I hope this is helpful.
I realise you’re unhappy the tribunal refused your appeal. As explained by Ms Worsley, we’re unable to intervene in a decision made by the tribunal - you may want to get legal advice about what appropriate action you can take, given the length of time that’s passed.
You can find details of qualified legal representatives on the Law Society’s online database at solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk. Alternatively, your local Citizens Advice office can give free and impartial advice. Many branches are offering advice by phone and email during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and more information is available at www.citizensadvice.org.uk. You can also phone Civil Legal Advice for help locating advisers. Their phone number is 0345 345 4345.
Again, I’m sorry we didn’t reply sooner. I hope my reply is helpful and explains where you can get advice about your case.
Yours sincerely

Good afternoon again.
How many more emails do I have to send? Is ignorance really bliss?
I have been researching issues with the Tribunal Service and it leads me to one firm conclusion.
Many individuals have been through the same as myself which leads to one inevitable reason
why this institution behaves this way.
Is this because of the colour of my skin? I will give you chance to respond this time and fully expect a response.
But I won't hold my breath on a response, but remember, the ignorance will definitely return to haunt you.

Good morning Susan, Christine,
Please would you respond to my email sent on the 27th June 2020 and a further request sent on the 8th August 2020 (below).
I have sent many, many emails over the years and all I ever hit is the wall of silence, which looking at my complaint the silence is
clearly because someone somewhere within your organisation made a conscious decision to ignore me.
I never did anything wrong, I sent an appeal to my initial hearing in Leeds well within your timescales which was totally ignored.
Do you know, that if I had been given my appeal, the results could have prevented the Croydon Tram Crash which had many fatalities
and long lasting scars.
Would somebody please explain what I did wrong to be denied an appeal? That is all I ask please.
Regards
Perry Webb
08:08:20 A further request.

Dear Christine, Susan,
Please will someone be decent enough to answer my last email below.
It has taken ten years without an answer because of this wall of silence, I did nothing
wrong, it was the behaviour of the Leeds Employment Tribunal and the Appeals Tribunal who over the years totally ignore my representations.
I am not stupid, I know that you can all hide behind this "Establishment" fortress, but I am not going away, this world, this country is changing beyond belief and certainly not for the good, organisations and individuals including those in positions of power will one day be held accountable.
Please respond.
Regards
Perry Webb
27:06:20 - My response, all I ask is a simple question to be answered.
Dear Christine, Susan, thank you for responding.
The legal system surrounding employment tribunals is clearly discriminatory, however my main point of argument is the appeal that I applied for within timescales as set by the very law the upper tribunal are supposed to abide by or is this also discriminatory?
There is always a wall of silence and ignorance that I encounter each time I find someone who I think might be able to help me.
Would somebody please explain what I did wrong to be denied an appeal? That is all I ask please.
I saved every single shred of evidence from my hearing till a response nearly one year after my hearing saying I appealed out of time. I did not appeal out of time.
All I have ever encountered is corruption, ignorance and discrimination, please do not feel I am aiming this at you personally Christine because this is not something that you caused or are a part of, it is clearly something deep rooted within the legal system.
I hopefully will get an answer to my simple question, which if there is nothing to hide why ignore me?
My Question: What did I do wrong to be denied an appeal?

Dear Mr Webb
Thank you for your email of 23 May letter to Susan Acland-Hood a Chief Executive of HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS). I’m replying on her behalf.
I’m sorry you disagree with the employment tribunal’s decision about your dismissal and I realise you’re unhappy with the evidence accepted by the judge. I’m also sorry the upper tribunal ruled your appeal was received out of time. I’m sorry for the impact on your life over the last ten years and I can understand how upsetting this has been for you.
As Chief Executive of HMCTS, Ms Acland-Hood can’t intervene to change the tribunal’s decisions or comment on the issues you’ve raised. This is because government officials have no control over the outcome of a tribunal case. The judge who made the decision is independent and it’s important that no action is taken to undermine the independence of the judiciary.
A judge must be free to make a decision based on the evidence presented by all sides and in accordance with the law without outside interference.
I realise my reply is not what you would like to hear, but I hope you understand why it’s not possible to intervene in your case.
Yours sincerely

Thank you for your email. We’re looking into the concerns you’ve raised and aim to reply by 22 June.

Sent: 23 May 2020 14:26 To: Acland-Hood, Susan <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Employment Tribunal (Ignorance, corruption, disgraceful) you decide please.
Dear Susan,
I have tried for the past ten years to try and get justice for my dismissal as a train driver. My initial tribunal in Leeds With Judge David Burton was a complete waste of my time, this Judge ignored all of my testimony including evidence of perjury.
Following on from this I emailed my appeal and it was received, this appeal was received within timescales, however this is where I encounter a wall of silence and it takes months to get a response and further months to be told I appealed out of time, despite all my evidence proving against this.
Details of the events and behaviour of First Group, including the tribunal details and findings can be found at tpeconspiracy.weebly.com, I keep trying and will continue till the day I die, I lost everything through the behaviour of First Group a Judge who couldn’t be bothered and a system that for whatever reason did not want to allow me an appeal.
I am hoping that you might be able to help in some way, no matter how small.
Regards and thanks,
Perry Webb
28:01:2020 The odds of getting anywhere in my quest for justice are in reality like winning the top prize in the lottery, yet somebody always wins the top prize. I will keep going, I will never give up, the right person and that is all it will take, the person in a position of power that has the resources and knowledge to help.
01:11:2019 I am still trying for some type of justice and will never give up. For those who lost family and friends in the Croydon Tram Crash it seems they will never get any justice, as I have shown on this site and my personal view, the driver was not the person to blame, it was a company rotten to the core with ignorance who had systematically been allowed time and time again to get away with horrendous failings on safety.
31:12:2018 Another year approaches, but I will never stop campaigning for justice, I hit the proverbial brick wall of IGNORANCE at every turn, but one day I will find the right connection, believe me.
26:11:2018 Below is an email recently sent to Dee Collins Chief Constable West Yorkshire Police.
To:
Collins, Dee ([email protected]
Dear Dee,
Please read my reasoning why my claim of perjury should be pursued.
Firstly, as stated by Judge J Chapman -
Perjury is regarded as "one of the most serious offences on the criminal calendar because it wholly undermines the whole basis of the administration of justice": Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42. It is regarded as serious whether it is committed in the context of a minor case, for example a car passenger who falsely states that the driver did not jump a red light as alleged, or a serious case, for example a false alibi witness in a bank robbery case.
By section 1(1) of the Perjury Act 1911, perjury is committed when:
a lawfully sworn witness or interpreters
in judicial proceedings
wilfully makes a false statement
which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, and
which is material in the proceedings.
The offence is triable only on indictment and carries a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment and/or a fine.
A conviction cannot be obtained solely on the evidence of a single witness as to the falsity of any statement. There must, by virtue of section 13 Perjury Act 1991, be some other evidence of the falsity of the statement, for example, a letter or account written by the defendant contradicting his sworn evidence is sufficient if supported by a single witness.
(Mark Atkinson’s statements made in the hearing including the hearing outcome letter all contradict what he said in his witness statement with further evidence from the investigation report and the railway rule book along with his own companies contingency plans).
FOI Request response:
Q. What needs to be done to ensure the Police follow procedure and
investigate a claim of perjury instead of refusing to investigate because
they are not instructed by a judge?
A. I am unable to locate evidence of any policy or any stated case ruling
that police should refuse to investigate perjury if they are not
instructed by a judge, therefore this information is not held. Indeed,
the Lord Chief Justice has previously indicated that absence of an adverse
judicial comment did not mean that there wasn't sufficient justification
for an investigation.
CPS Statement.
Cases Involving Allegations of Perjury
Where a judge or Magistrate believes that some evidence adduced at trial is perjured, he or she can recommend that there should be a police investigation.
The absence of such recommendation does not mean that there is no justification for an investigation. The only inference that can be drawn from the absence of a recommendation is that the judge or Magistrate does not consider an investigation necessary.
So we have a “serious offence”, wilfully made statement with further evidence to substantiate my claims and FOI and CPS statements that clearly state that for perjury to be investigated it does not require a referral from a Judge.
What happened to the oath below?
“I, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of constable with fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality,and that I will uphold fundamental human rights and accord equal respect to all people, according to law.”
Please set up an investigation into my complaint.
Regards
Perry Webb
07:10:2018 A detailed dossier is finally in the hands of the West Yorkshire Police Chief Constable Dee Collins which this lady has acknowledged receipt of. I want the then Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson prosecuted for perjury.
Underneath this section in the listings I have placed the sections called "Lies - Further Information", its a basic guide that shows how the lies of Mark Atkinson fooled the Employment Tribunal Judges. Below is a sample of some of these blatant lies.
LIE NO 8: “Prior to the hearing I considered the Industry Rule Book”.
What does the "Industry Rule Book" state for a partial failure of the warning horn?
LIE NO 9: “Prior to the hearing I considered the Company's procedures on defect reporting”.
What do the companies contingency plans state for a partial failure of the warning horn?
For all you railway knowledgable people out there, do the rule book and contingency plans for a partial failure of the warning horn state the following?
LIE NO 1: “The train remained in service, when it should have been removed”.
Are trains removed from service for a partial failure of a warning horn?
LIE NO 2: “You didn't stop and report it at the controlling signaller”.
Do you stop your train and report a partial failure of the warning horn to the signaller?
LIE NO 3: “At no point did you reduce the train speed”.
I believe he means reduce the train speed to 20mph, even for a partial warning horn failure?
LIE NO 10: “18.1 he did not stop immediately or at the earliest convenience (Darlington or Northallerton stations or signal stops) and report the matter to the controlling signaller as specified in the procedure;
Do you stop immediately or the earliest convenience and report to the signaller for a partial warning horn failure?
LIE NO 12: “18.5 his actions ensured that the unit remained in public service until it reached the depot”.
For a partial failure of the warning horn, would a train stay in service or be removed?
LIE NO 13: “19.1 he had failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting which resulted in the train not being taken out of service immediately”;
Would a train be removed from service immediately with a partial warning horn failure?
LIE NO 14: I will cover this as 1 LIE, "I stated that: 20.1 he failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting train defects; 20.2 he did not stop and report the safety defects correctly; 20.3 he did not inform the company's control/the signal box or controlling signal";
Would a driver stop their train to report a partial failure of the warning horn, an intermittent wiper fault or a noisy cab?
LIE NO 18: "then prior to arriving in York he should have reported the matter immediately and made sure the train did not go any further”.
Would I really stop my train and report the partial failure of the warning horn immediately and then refuse to move this train any further?
LIE NO 21: “I found that it had been proven that he had failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn as he had not done so as soon as the matter arose”.
What does the rule book state for reporting a partially defective warning horn, does it state that I report immediately?
LIE NO 22: “and that as a result of this action the train had stayed in service”.
Would a train that has a partially defective warning not stay in service? What do the contingency plans state?
The following is a point made by Judge Burton which clearly show that he believed these blatant wilfully made lies.
11. It seems to us that Mr Webb could have saved the situation if he had acknowledged at that disciplinary hearing that he had failed to comply with that rule, if he had acknowledged the importance of complying with such rules, if he had expressed remorse and if he had demonstrated an intention to comply with such rules in the future. It may have been that the Respondents may have considered a sanction short of dismissal as having been appropriate.
There is nothing further to add, as you can clearly see, I didnt fail to comply with the ruling relating to a complete warning horn failure as Judge Burton believes, I said from the outset that my train had a PARTIAL WARNING HORN FAILURE. Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson was fully aware of this, so what made him produce such a pack of lies that he must have known he was doing, the knock on effect of these lies has caused untold misery for many people, this is why I will never give up in my quest for justice, who knows what is around the corner!
20:06:2018 I will never give up in my pursuit of justice, I am putting a dossier together for a solicitor to look at along the lines of malicious prosecution and abuse of process.
21:05:2018 I have had a few emails asking why I didn’t have an appeal, the reason why was because I was blatantly robbed of the chance by the disgusting corrupt system in place. I will prove my point very soon with a section on this matter.
05:05:2018 I have added some new information which can be found just below this section titled, “Information Received April 2018
04:03:2018 Still in the dark ages concerning rail safety, but at least it's a start.
Sadly I doubt very much if this will help First Group, firstly the individuals they have within their management capable of understanding safety are not allowed to express themselves, they tow the proverbial line or they are discarded. The higher management from board level down are a sad reflection of this regime, blind and ignorant to everything around them. Who cares? I sit back and wait for the next major accident and no doubt I will shout from the rooftops - "this was preventable", but what use will that be? I recently had correspondence with someone who works to promote rail safety, the final response I received from this person was - "It's hard to change the establishment". Really? God help us all! Which in turn leads directly to the paragraphs below.
10:02:18 Can anyone explain why individuals, groups and organisations who are in a position that their voice would be noticed sit back and do absolutely nothing, surely to god not everyone is gripped by the "Establishment" or just plain cowards?
Because to those of you who call yourselves "Rail Safety Experts", and you know who you are, you are part of the reason the terrible tram tragedy at Croydon happened, your blinkered blindness, hence ignorance of the real world happening around you, wake up and stand up before someone you care for becomes a victim.
Because to those of you who call yourselves "Rail Safety Experts", and you know who you are, you are part of the reason the terrible tram tragedy at Croydon happened, your blinkered blindness, hence ignorance of the real world happening around you, wake up and stand up before someone you care for becomes a victim.
04:02:18 If only I had not been ignored by numerous organisations and treated with utter contempt by the great British establishment.
"Poor safety culture", such a shame that those in a position to do something before this tragic accident sat back and did absolutely nothing despite my evidence which told everyone, "First Group are IGNORANT towards safety, this will ultimately end in deaths of innocent people".
RAIB from their investigation state, "There needs to be improvements to safety management systems, particularly encouraging a culture in which everyone feels able to report their own mistakes".
Yet CEO Tim O'Toole has the cheek to state, "We're all very proud of the safety culture and record at First Group".
"Proud of the safety culture", the very safety culture that has killed numerous people and you are "PROUD"? What about the "management culture" that is responsible for this tragic accident?
I will say this again, someone please investigate this rabble in their management behaviour towards safety, because if you ignore my concerns it is ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before they will once again be responsible for more deaths.

07/01/2018: I have finally added the questions to the section - Questions that need answering - Charlotte Mayne. Remembering this woman's famous quote in one of her emails that can be found in the section - TPE use a solicitor, "Due to my involvement in this difficult case and my role as advisor and procedural expert"!
What could possibly make 3 charges of gross misconduct difficult to prove if the person charged is guilty?
What could possibly make 3 charges of gross misconduct difficult to prove if the person charged is guilty?
IF PERJURY IS REGARDED AS AN ABHORRENT CRIME WHY IS IT IGNORED?
Judge Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42, has set this precedent on perjury, its guidance is simplicity, it simply highlights a basic lie on one end and a very serious lie at the other end, THE MAIN POINT IS - BOTH ARE LIES - BOTH ARE CLASSED AS PERJURY.
So with this guidance in mind, what should be thought of a person in a position of power who tells numerous lie's that not only destroy another person's family and life but ignore safety related issues that could result in many deaths?
I have tried for years to get West Yorkshire Police to take my perjury claims seriously, I have now taken my complaint to the IPCC - Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Can anyone who reads this website with knowledge on perjury please explain to me why I cannot get anyone to listen to my complaint, thank you.

06/01/2018: We go into 2018 nearly 9 years after my dismissal, 9 years of hell for me and my family. I can take losing my house but what keeps me going is the pain and suffering this caused my family and the knowledge that I did not deserve to be dismissed. Unless you have been through something like this, you wouldn't be able to comprehend the knock on effect losing your livelihood can cause and how this goes on to affect all your family. I have only seen my wife and son 4 times in the last 9 years because I don't earn enough money to travel to Thailand even once a year.
This website shows that my dismissal went further than those trumped up charges of gross misconduct, it also shows the vindictive attitude in this managements actions to stick the knife in my back, they fell over each other to inflict the fatal blow, in doing this they left a trail of glaring errors.
My major problem now is getting someone to listen, these individuals are protected by the establishment, part of the reason they behaved like they did. My message to Atkinson, Mayne, Watson, Barker, Cook, Percival and to a lesser extent, Steele, Turpin and Higgins is simply this - I will never ever give up in my pursuit for justice, I owe my family some resolve, please do not think this is over, its far from over. Let me ask you all one question, how would you feel if the same happened to you?
24/12/2017: I still find it so hard to believe the following statement made by Judge Burton.
"It seems to us that Mr Webb could have saved the situation if he had acknowledged at that disciplinary hearing that he had failed to comply with that rule, if he had acknowledged the importance of complying with such rules, if he had expressed remorse and if he had demonstrated an intention to comply with such rules in the future. It may have been that the Respondents may have considered a sanction short of dismissal as having been appropriate".
Judge Burton believes that if I had expressed remorse and said I would abide by the rule book I would have received a lesser sanction? (I did abide by the rule book and couldn't express remorse for not complying with a complete warning horn failure and the associated rules when I had a partial warning horn failure), so if Judge Burton believes this statement then how can the charges warrant gross misconduct in the first place? Especially if an agreement to comply with a rule and saying sorry would have saved me from dismissal!
DID I REALLY DESERVE DISMISSAL CULMINATING IN LOSING EVERYTHING I HAD FOR THIS?
10/12/2017: I am adding a new section with my analysis of the Croydon Tram Accident Report, as always any information added has evidence to back up my claims. Croydon Tram Accident Reports - Parts 1 and 2 are ready for viewing below the Croydon Tramlink Accident - Part 3.

02/12/2017: New section added below the Home Page titled "Speak Out?".
24/11/2017: How could I have been dismissed for something that made no difference whatsoever to the running of a train, something that was an every train every day occurrence, yet other drivers who passed signals at red, used mobile phones and made social media comments while driving were demoted and given another job?
Nearly 25 years as a driver with a clean record, no serious transgression of rules, no signals passed at danger, yet one minor blip, one instance of a rules violation that is still open to interpretation and I am dismissed, at the worst case scenario this was a training issue, if I had been allowed to defend myself by reading out my witness statement it would have become apparent that I was dismissed for an ulterior motive, many people out there know this and no doubt one day someone will have the guts to stand up to the TPE, First Group Bullies.

It simplifies Judge Burton's decision, highlighting his ignorance of the railway rule book, companies contingency plans and the very law he is supposed to uphold. If you read anything on this website, just read this section please.
25:06:17 I have moved the pages, "TPE use a solicitor", to just below the Home Page in the index, it is proof that I was doomed from the beginning, especially when you can see that TPE had engaged a solicitor against me well before my appeal hearing! Their solicitor used a "Legal Privilege" loophole so that I couldn't use this information in my sham of an Employment Tribunal.
24:06:17 The media are saying that corporate manslaughter charges will be brought against those involved in the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The same charges should also be brought against those who failed to prevent the Croydon Tram accident.

Below is what I said to CEO Tim O'Toole in 2012, IGNORANCE causes deaths.
"YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY".
"In the future, if there is ANY incident or accident involving a First Group Company which results in injury or death, then I will hold you personally responsible, playing Russian Roulette always ends in DEATH."
"Yet member's of First Group Board look at this site and in traditional TPE fashion, IGNORE it.
"Rotten to the core". Remember this, when it goes' wrong, the blame lie's with you, the law of average's will catch up eventually"!
11:05:17 I have added the first three parts regarding the Croydon Tramlink Accident, for ease of access they are below the latest news, information, Contact me header.

11:05:17 Some recent correspondence I have received as a direct result of this website suggested the following. The correspondence said that I should ask the following.
Is there any solicitor willing to take my case on a no win no fee. It has been suggested that I would have a case regarding malicious prosecution and abuse of process. The damage caused and loss of earnings etc would be in the high six figures. All information required is on this site, please contact me if you are interested or can give any further information about the viability of doing this, thank you in advance.

24:02:17 Why after the event? Why, why, why? So signage boards with chevrons are the answer! Fitting an AWS system would be better, going one further and adding a TPWS system would make it 100% safe. Sadly all of this is an after thought, as for hindsight, it didn't need hindsight to prevent this awful accident. It only required a simple route risk assessment and evaluation of those findings to realise this area was a major danger spot.
So how did TfL (First Group) fail in what should have been a very basic procedure. The answer lies in their behavioural traits from the past, a self governed hierarchy that is blinkered and blinded by their belief that they cannot be challenged by anyone. When they are challenged they execute, I personally challenged them every single day, I witnessed first hand their inability to listen and yes I was executed by them.
Their inept management from the bottom to the very top failed not only themselves but everyone they came in contact with and therefore started a small snowball that eventually became a deadly avalanche. An infection called IGNORANCE which could have been treated was the primary cause.
30:01:17 I have created a section regarding the Croydon Tram accident, I am waiting for confirmation on some information before I display it. Make no mistake, this was totally preventable.
13:12:16 I have moved the following section, "To the CEO of First Group 2012", it is below the section "CEO Tim O'Toole". This is a statement I made on the 9th March 2012 to Tim O,Toole. The following is that exact statement.
"In the future, if there is ANY incident or accident involving a First Group Company which results in injury or death, then I will hold you personally responsible, playing Russian Roulette always ends in DEATH."
The only surprise I had was it took over 4 years, but they did have near misses before then. Below is the full email.

Dear Mr O`Toole
As I have not received any response from yourselves, I will give you one last chance.
The health and safety culture within Transpennine Express was (is?) non existent, as I was the health and safety representative for many years, I know first hand what went on.
The evidence is there for all to see on my website, if you don`t have the time to look through this evidence, then get someone to do it for you.
It may well be that this type of IGNORANCE towards staff and health and safety law is something that is rife all the way through the First Group Organisation, failing to check out my serious allegations against TPE Management could well backfire on you.
In the future, if there is ANY incident or accident involving a First Group Company which results in injury or death, then I will hold you personally responsible, playing Russian Roulette always ends in DEATH.
Regards
Perry Webb
You would expect that these emails with this type of content should receive a response? Only time will tell. (The response was basically they will not have any dialogue with me)!
Mr O'Toole, read my section on SUMMIT TUNNEL, it shows you what IGNORANCE can cause, this was totally avoidable, I even suggested how to avoid this type of incident from occurring, DO YOU REALISE HOW LUCKY YOU WERE? WHAT DO YOU THINK AN ENQUIRY WOULD HAVE MADE OF MY EVIDENCE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY FATALITIES? (Only sheer luck prevented fatalities).
Why rely upon LUCK?
SO WHEN WILL SOMEONE ACTUALLY LISTEN? HOW MANY MORE DEATHS DO YOU WANT? CEO TIM O'TOOLE DIDN,T LISTEN.
Now read the letter attached to the section above - "For the attention of Mr Tim O'Toole 2013". Quite how this letter was not worthy of any response tells you just how the very top of First Group thinks regarding safety, he reacts like them below him, his IGNORANCE is deafening.

It may well be that this type of IGNORANCE towards staff and health and safety law is something that is rife all the way through the First Group Organisation, failing to check out my serious allegations against TPE Management could well backfire on you.
In the future, if there is ANY incident or accident involving a First Group Company which results in injury or death, then I will hold you personally responsible, playing Russian Roulette always ends in DEATH.

Perry Webb
You would expect that these emails with this type of content should receive a response? Only time will tell. (The response was basically they will not have any dialogue with me)!
Mr O'Toole, read my section on SUMMIT TUNNEL, it shows you what IGNORANCE can cause, this was totally avoidable, I even suggested how to avoid this type of incident from occurring, DO YOU REALISE HOW LUCKY YOU WERE? WHAT DO YOU THINK AN ENQUIRY WOULD HAVE MADE OF MY EVIDENCE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY FATALITIES? (Only sheer luck prevented fatalities).
Why rely upon LUCK?
SO WHEN WILL SOMEONE ACTUALLY LISTEN? HOW MANY MORE DEATHS DO YOU WANT? CEO TIM O'TOOLE DIDN,T LISTEN.
Now read the letter attached to the section above - "For the attention of Mr Tim O'Toole 2013". Quite how this letter was not worthy of any response tells you just how the very top of First Group thinks regarding safety, he reacts like them below him, his IGNORANCE is deafening.
06:12:16 SIX YEARS AGO I WROTE THE CAPTION BELOW ON THIS WEBSITE, ONE OF NUMEROUS WARNINGS, THIS WAS FIRST GROUP AT ITS FINEST, BULLY BOY LIARS AND NOW THIS HAS VERY SADLY HAPPENED.
YOU ALL ALLOWED THIS COMPANY TO GET AWAY WITH A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR SAFETY AND IT REALLY HURTS ME TO HAVE TO SAY THAT THE PRICE HAS BEEN PAID. THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS WHO I LOBBIED CONTINUOUSLY, YOU ARE THE LOWEST OF LOW, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO YOUR PROFESSIONS.
"The LIE'S of this individual will one day cause death(s), it will be a tragedy that was totally preventable, all caused through IGNORANCE and LIE'S, if the LIE'S of ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON go unpunished it is akin to signing someone's death warrant.
*NOBODY CAN EVER, EVER SAY THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED*".
IF ANYONE READING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME IS UNSURE ABOUT FIRST GROUP AND THEIR BEHAVIOURAL TRAITS TOWARDS SAFETY JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SECTION TITLED, "LEAD BY EXAMPLE - FIRST GROUP SAFETY PRINCIPLES" AND "CASE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION 16TH APRIL 2010".
THESE SECTIONS SHOW THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH THIS COMPANY SCREAMS ABOUT SAFETY AND ALL THE GLOSSY LITERATURE THEY PRODUCE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.
05:12:16 I cannot help but wonder, what if I had been given a fair employment tribunal hearing instead of the sham I encountered. How can it be that you are not allowed to read out your witness statement? But who cares?
When I asked the very first question to the then Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson, "On the day in question what type of warning horn failure did I have"? This man went bright red and started to swet profusely while fumbling through a pile of paperwork, the silence lasted an eternity, yet he was unable to give any answer! You would think straight away that the three judges would wonder what the hell is going on, the main charge against me and he didn't know what type of failure the warning horn had! But who cares?
I was allocated three days for this hearing, yet it was over in a day and a one hour the following morning. These judges totally ignored my plea's regarding perjury, after this I was denied the opportunity of an appeal because they said that I applied out of time which was a complete lie, but who cares?
I cannot help but wonder, what if First Group had lost this tribunal, maybe just maybe they would have had to change their perception and behaviour towards health and safety and therefore put measures in place that should have been able to stop the accident at Croydon. But who cares?
Croydon was without a doubt totally preventable, it only required a very basic risk assessment to be carried out, this would have identified this area as a danger spot, it really was that simple. The failure of individuals in positions of power is appalling, nobody can ever say they wasn't informed about First Groups attitude towards health and safety because I told the world, from David Cameron, First Group CEO Tim O'Toole and members of First Group Board, all trade unions such as ASLEF and the RMT, the Judges at my tribunal and West Yorkshire Police for ignoring my claim of perjury, there are many more groups and individuals that I warned, but who cares?
I was the victim of a vile witch hunt for one reason only, I had a passion to make everything I encountered as safe as possible, this website is my evidence, we will have another major incident or accident in the future unless somebody makes a stand against these bully boys (First Group), but much more important is how we educate them, the challenge here is how to EDUCATE THE POISONED CHALICE OF IGNORANCE. You can never say that you haven't been warned! But who cares?

15:11:16 I will soon add another section to this website regarding the Croydon Tramway accident. This accident was without doubt TOTALLY PREVENTABLE.
14:11:16 Very interesting developments regarding Croydon Tramway, I will wait to clarify some of this information before I post my thoughts. However it does appear what I have said all along especially on this site regarding First Group Management incompetence.
12:11:16 I have been quiet of late, however I am still trying to generate interest with a view to one day avenge all of those gutless low life's responsible for their despicable attack on me and my family.
I would like to give my condolences to the family and relatives of those who died in the Croydon Tramway accident.
03:08:16 History has shown that Tyrants or Tyrannical regimes always kill off their own, so it was hardly surprising to see Stephen Percival discarded into the gutter.
I believe nothing has changed in 7 years, always in dispute, what do you expect with Paul Watson still at the helm?

10:03:16 Mark Atkinson, not again? No longer Driver Manager at Metrolink, why would that be? Coincidentally information on Mark Atkinson on this website is the most looked at information with Charlotte Mayne a close second.
18:02:16 I received an email from a York Driver which said the following, "You really are a very sad chap time to give up your empty threats and just go away and leave the rail industry alone. No one Mourns your loss mate give it a rest".
My response: Firstly, you have a very short memory, how many times did you complain about the management? That is the same management that you probably now lick their arses, but don't worry your not the only two faced "Mr Railwayman I am".
How can you call me sad? Sad for what, standing up for myself, speaking out, something you know nothing about, but then lemmings do follow each other, like the vast majority of you and your so called colleagues.
Why do you keep looking at my site? Is it because if something is not politically correct you can be the martyr and run to ASLEF and management? You never lost your livelihood, I fucking did and for what, standing up for cunts like you.
My website does not hold any threats, everything on there is the truth, time is all mine and I will get satisfaction one way or another, what you and the vast majority of your lemmings do and think means nothing to me, I witnessed your cowardice first hand, so go and lick your bottoms, wouldn't it be funny if you were on the receiving end one day, do you honestly think your Union and lemmings will be there for you?
This prompted a response from another York Driver who asked, "I dont understand the comment, your not the only two faced Mr Railwayman I am".
In response, The comment was a direct result of how I feel regarding my dismissal, there was numerous York Drivers who spoke with me, all agreed that my dismissal was wrong and all vented their anger and frustration at the management in my presence. Yet how many spoke out in my favour?
How many of these did I bend over backwards to help even when they were wrong? Who did they come running to with their problems?
What that York Driver said who you probably know was one of those who regularly complained about management yet never had the balls to tell them face to face, instead wanted me to do it for him like many others. That is why my comment said, "your not the only two faced Mr Railwayman I am".
Yet he now thinks that I should forget, he wouldn't think like that if it had destroyed his bloody family like it has mine and for what?
16:02:16 Quite some time since I last wrote anything, but to those vile individuals concerned, I will never give up and keep grinding away, I will find a way to make you all regret and pay for your actions, time is all mine, you will pay.
27:05:15 The information that I received has now been verified and will be displayed shortly, on another note, tonight I spoke with a railwayman that I have not seen for years, he told me that he was party to information that ASLEF played a big part in my dismissal because I involved myself in saving a lady train driver her job from Grand Central. Yes I did represent this woman and for good reason especially when I heard her side of the story and the series of events that led to her job being at risk. I still retain all the paperwork from this case, and I can say beyond any reasonable doubt that this lady did not deserve to be dismissed, thankfully she kept her job. From information given to me by other sources I know that this is true about the involvement of ASLEF. Just ask Nicky Whitehead about his involvement regarding this lady train driver and if ASLEF dont like this statement then please inform me, I will display the meeting minutes and other information.
Message for Atkinson, Watson and Percival, I will get my day, make no mistake and please, Mayne, Turpin, Cook, Barker, Steele and Higgins your actions will still come back to haunt you.
07:05:15 Yesterday I received some very interesting news that once verified I will share.
04:04:15. I heard today that P.J Harrison sadly passed away, I started the railway with Pete on the 16th July 1979, he never had a bad word for anyone, a sad loss, R.I.P .
01:12:14 A little reminder to Paul Watson, Mark Atkinson, Stephen Percival, Charlotte Maine, Vernon Barker, Barry Cook, Peter Turpin, Andrew Steele & Ged Higgins, - I WILL NEVER GIVE UP in my pursuit for justice, I only hope it doesn't come about through the death(s) of anyone. Because make no mistake, I WILL GET JUSTICE.
22:10:14 Some new information will be added shortly. It is from the investigation report for the Newcastle door incident. This report highlights everything I have ever said about safety involving TransPennine Express management.
10:08:14 I believe some of you are absolutely gutted at recent developments, even fearful for your job! What goes around, comes around! For certain individuals yours is yet to come and believe me, it most certainly will. This is aimed at the so called management especially those in York.

07:08:14 Information received today - thanks once again - please contact me via this website or email me at [email protected] - you can remain totally anonymous.
I believe the chickens are coming home to roost! Like I have said many times, save your evidence, your going to need it now.
How is everyone's eyesight these days? Should I really be asking Charlotte that question? I have it on good authority that some members of staff had laser eye surgery and were working in safety critical posts.
29:06:14 It really is a sad state of affairs that this country allows such IGNORANCE towards the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The IGNORANCE is evident in the title of this act - "1974". Industry and working practises have changed dramatically in the last 40 years, yet the law that is supposed to safeguard individuals has remained stagnant.
Even though this law has remained the same for fourty years it does not take away the onus on companies from upholding the present legislation. So what excuse does First Group have for their unbelievable IGNORANCE?

24:06:14 "Case Management Discussion" is averaging around 175 hits per day at the moment. The most important issue with this section is the proof that TPE Management readily admit to IGNORING driver reports for years, shame that the HSE (HMRI) and others also IGNORED this, but this is hardly surprising as this is the reason we end up with accidents like Clapham, Potters Bar,
Southall and Summit Tunnel, what cannot be ignored is that this time it is not only me stating that TPE management are IGNORANT towards safety but also a pillar of society, none other than a Judge, Judge Colin Grazin. THE BIGGEST SHAME OF ALL THIS, IS THAT ONE DAY I AM GOING TO SAY, "I TOLD YOU ALL".
09:06:14 All missing images will shortly be available.
05:06:14 I am aware that some pages with images are not showing, this will be resolved shortly.
04:06:14 Just a slight blip over the last 48 hours, site now back up and running, nothing that I couldn't handle!
31:05:14 So we have yet another train driver removed from driving (thanks to the person who emailed me, if there is anything else please let me know), of course this is all the driver's own fault, it is absolutely nothing to do with the understanding (human factors) of drivers as individuals, these driver's as in the word's of the late Christian Hobbin are treated like robot's.
Christian back in May 2006 said, "Maybe all the new 185's should come with a robot instead of a human driver", as we can see in 8 years nothing has changed. The fault is with the inept management style, described by Christian as, "A history of management style which is out to get you instead of being realistic and trustworthy, big brother watching your every move".
If this driver had been properly monitored and had ongoing specific training to suit his requirements, in other words a risk assessment of previous failings which then incorporates a training package to deal with earlier misdemeanors there would be no need for removal from the driving grade.
Perhaps this is something ASLEF could look at developing for use in his appeal if he has an appeal, not that an appeal is worth the time and effort, we all know that a decision is made and no matter what your representations you will never overturn the original decision. So for all of you who sit back and do absolutely nothing about this, just think your turn for no fault of your own could be just around the corner, you need to lobby your union before YOU ARE NEXT.
Where will this stop? How many more decent men and women will be removed from the driving grade or dismissed without a care in the world before ASLEF act? Whatever ASLEF's agenda against TPE, it clearly is not working, INDUSTRIAL ACTION is sadly the only way forward until communication is established and retained. But if ASLEF are happy to allow this continual IGNORANCE towards drivers and other staff, in other words sit back and do nothing, the firing squad will continue their work.
TRANSPENNINE EXPRESS MANAGEMENT FAILED THIS YORK DRIVER. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED AND SADLY ENDED. DECENT EMPLOYEE RELATIONS IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.
25:05:14 I have this evening once again notified all director's of First Group and Keolis regarding the two issues that require immediate attention, it is only a matter of time before these issues are sorted, but who will be the person or organisation to implement these changes and which individuals will remain silent?
SILENCE = IGNORANCE = LOSS OF LIFE: If anyone else other than TPE management instigate changes to the two serious safety related issues that both have a distinct potential to cause death,
TPE management from the Chief Executive to their Driver Manager's should be investigated and brought to task over their sheer ignorance towards safety related issue's, it will also highlight that everything I have said and proven with evidence on this website is true, although that is without question.

24:05:14 I have added some additional information to the section titled, "LEAD BY EXAMPLE - FIRST GROUP SAFETY PRINCIPLES". It highlights the need for a Government inquiry into the behaviour and ignorance of this management towards safety. It is not solely about defective warning horns, reversing of trains and their attitude towards me, it is about the whole picture, the numerous individuals who have had their livelihoods taken away from them without justification and the unprecedented level of total ignorance that compromises safety at every level.
Anyone who can supply further information please contact me using the form above or email me at, [email protected] , you can remain totally anonymous if you wish.
23:05:14 Would the individuals who send me information please get in touch with me, just make up a new email address, I have some information that you will definitely be interested in.
20:05:14 A REMINDER FOR MARK ATKINSON: Perjury is regarded as "one of the most serious offences on the criminal calendar because it wholly undermines the whole basis of the administration of justice": Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42. It is regarded as serious whether it is committed in the context of a minor case, for example a car passenger who falsely states that the driver did not jump a red light as alleged, or a serious case, for example a false alibi witness in a bank robbery case.
Judge Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42, has set this precedent on perjury, its guidance is simplicity, it simply highlights a basic lie on one end and a very serious lie at the other end, THE MAIN POINT IS - BOTH ARE LIES AND BOTH ARE CLASSED AS PERJURY.
So with this guidance in mind, what will be thought of a person in a position of power who tells numerous lie's that not only destroy another person's family and life but ignore safety related issues that could result in many deaths?

19:05:14 Of the many messages of support that I receive, some people offer guidance on what they think should be displayed, one such comment was that "hidden away" in Paul Watson's witness statement is vital information on how the very top of First Group fail to uphold the very safety value's they promote. A new section to highlight this is titled, "LEAD BY EXAMPLE - FIRST GROUP SAFETY PRINCIPLES".
It highlights how they ignore their own procedures and once again also ignore a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS THE POSSIBILITY TO CAUSE DEATH. I supplied information on how to deal with this issue back in August 2009 which they completely (as usual) IGNORED.
Please note: The information contained within the above section also highlights in a similar fashion to the partial failure of a warning horn a life threatening issue that needs addressing now before it is too late, I CANNOT REITERATE ENOUGH HOW THESE TWO ISSUES CARRY THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH, SOMEONE MUST TAKE A STAND AND IMPLEMENT CHANGES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

15:05:14 The ignorance and behaviour of TransPennine Express Management towards such serious issues that mean life or death is astounding, they are literally sat upon a time bomb that could explode at any time.
How can a company that regularly screams its stance on health & safety turn such a blind eye to the danger a partially defective warning horn poses when their managers readily admit the danger? Yet as I have proven on this website this is just one of many issue's they have ignored, exactly like the dangers involved in reversing a train or Summit Tunnel, glossy paperwork does not mean you uphold a tradition of safety first.
Remember this statement, "Our commitment to the safety of our employees and customers through Injury Prevention means if you can`t do it safely, don`t do it". It talks the talk, but in reality is not worth the paper it is written on.
The answer is because if they attempt any rule change it would completely vindicate me, it would prove everything I have said about their ignorance towards health & safety and prove that you do have to go over and above any normal channels in an attempt to get a positive response on safety related matters, which is an absolute disgrace.
They put their crusade to destroy me before safety, my reports on health and safety issues upset them that much they decided the easiest option was to dismiss me. I know that I was a pain, but at least I had values, I tried against overwhelming odds to make the railway a safer place, in making that stand it cost me everything, yet I can hold my head up, can you?
This is why no matter how much ignorance I have faced then and now, I will fight this case until I get the rules and contingency plans changed and then I want justice, I want each one of you to be held accountable for your actions.
14:05:14 I am in the process of and have informed many individuals including David Cameron and the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin of the dangers associated with running any train that has a partial failure of the warning horn and allowing this train to remain in service for an unlimited amount of time running at speeds of up to 125mph.
All of these people I have informed are in top jobs, high ranking individuals and should have the common sense to understand the DANGER'S I have raised and act accordingly by getting the rule book and train operating companies contingency plans changed.
Please also remember, a partial failure of any trains warning horn does not necessarily require extreme weather conditions to cause the failure, it could be caused by hitting a bird and the body lodging inside the warning horn trumpet or direct damage, especially dangerous if only the low tone of the horn is then left working.
This was recognised as life threatening by Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson who said that by leaving a train in service with a partial failure of the warning horn it, "put the safety of all staff at risk" because "there is always the possibility that the other horn would fail".
THIS SHOWS A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR SAFETY AND PEOPLE'S LIVES IN THAT THIS SENIOR MANAGER DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP PREVENT HIS VERY THOUGHTS FROM BECOMING REALITY, I ONLY HOPE THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN SEE THE DANGER AND ACTS QUICKLY.
Each unit would require an audible distance test on the low tone at all speeds. I know from experience that all warning horns differed, a risk assessment is required on each type of unit.
I challenge any individual out there to give me one good reason that what I am saying is wrong, in fact I challenge every single one of you that I have emailed. PLEASE LET COMMON SENSE PREVAIL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
Chief Executive Tim O'Toole, Managing Director's Vernon Barker & Nick Donovan, Head of Operational Safety Paul Watson, Route Driver Manager's Mark Atkinson & Barry Cook, Driver Managers Stephen Percival, Andrew Steele, Ged Higgins, Peter Turpin (Ret), for no other reason's than ignorance and malice towards me you have all allowed this potentially life taking situation to remain a danger to anyone and everyone on or around the railway environment, you are a disgrace to your profession, an embarrassment to the rail industry, which will be proven when I get this ruling changed. Not forgetting Charlotte Mayne, as her involvement cemented the lie's and collusion not only in my case but in other cases and one in particular which will be reported on this website when the time is right which is far more serious than just lie's and collusion!
Just for good measure I have emailed all of the above the details in this section, I do not expect anything to happen by doing this because of their most famous trait, IGNORANCE.
13:05:14 Mark Atkinson - a small paragraph below with huge consequences just for you, take note of the section's highlighted in red. Mark Twain once said, "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything".
Perjury is regarded as "one of the most serious offences on the criminal calendar because it wholly undermines the whole basis of the administration of justice": Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42. It is regarded as serious whether it is committed in the context of a minor case, for example a car passenger who falsely states that the driver did not jump a red light as alleged, or a serious case, for example a false alibi witness in a bank robbery case.
Regarded as "serious" above and this would only be one lie, you have made numerous lies that has left a serious flaw in the rule book untouched, which is detrimental to safety on the railway at the highest possible level, the outcome of which has the possibility of DEATH, not forgetting the damage you have caused my family.
How can a company that regularly screams its stance on health & safety turn such a blind eye to the danger a partially defective warning horn poses when their managers readily admit the danger? Yet as I have proven on this website this is just one of many issue's they have ignored, exactly like the dangers involved in reversing a train or Summit Tunnel, glossy paperwork does not mean you uphold a tradition of safety first.
Remember this statement, "Our commitment to the safety of our employees and customers through Injury Prevention means if you can`t do it safely, don`t do it". It talks the talk, but in reality is not worth the paper it is written on.
The answer is because if they attempt any rule change it would completely vindicate me, it would prove everything I have said about their ignorance towards health & safety and prove that you do have to go over and above any normal channels in an attempt to get a positive response on safety related matters, which is an absolute disgrace.
They put their crusade to destroy me before safety, my reports on health and safety issues upset them that much they decided the easiest option was to dismiss me. I know that I was a pain, but at least I had values, I tried against overwhelming odds to make the railway a safer place, in making that stand it cost me everything, yet I can hold my head up, can you?

11:05:14 Regarding the usual scenario for a partial failure of the warning horn, one extremely important issue to note:
There is a massive amount of difference in relation to which tone of the horn is left working, especially when travelling at speed. The HIGH TONE will be heard at a greater distance.
Has a risk assessment been carried out to evaluate this? We all know that answer, even Mark Atkinson knows that answer, the following is what he said when I asked him about Group Standards and the distance a warning horn needs to be audible from, "has it been proven that they're not audible at that distance". He asks me, if it has been proven!
So we have an extremely dangerous situation that could happen to any train in this country even admitted in Mark Atkinson's own words, "there is always the possibility the other horn could fail", yet not one person can see this danger especially Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson and supposed Head of Operational Safety Paul Watson.
10:05:14 My website openly challenges this TPE MANAGEMENT, it accuses individuals of COLLUSION and calls them LIARS. You have to ask yourself, why have they never once challenged the authenticity of this website, I have numerous sections of information, surely somewhere some of this is a lie or so you might think?
The answer is simple, the simplicity is called TRUTH. It is evident that from the start to where we are now, all I ever encountered was IGNORANCE, a carefully selected weapon of choice, then we add the ingredient COLLUSION, numerous individuals including some that have yet to be mentioned collaborating together to piece the jigsaw of my demise together, in order to achieve this comes the third ingredient LIE'S.
The biggest issue with this mix of, IGNORANCE, COLLUSION & LIE'S is the detrimental effect this has on SAFETY as shown in numerous sections on this website.

The biggest issue with this mix of, IGNORANCE, COLLUSION & LIE'S is the detrimental effect this has on SAFETY as shown in numerous sections on this website.
07:05:14 HISTORICALLY in this country too many individuals like this TPE Management walked round with an air of invincibility, arrogance in abundance, a self belief that they were untouchable. How many people thought that Gerry Adams would ever be questioned or that Stuart Hall and Max Clifford would be jailed, remember Geoffrey Archer!
THE REASON WHY these people were brought to justice? BECAUSE those who they destroyed were stronger than they could ever imagine, they had "time" on their side meaning modern day evolution, changes happen, tolerance levels become shorter and people in positions of power become involved. Collusion and Lie's have no hiding place, the internet keeps everything alive, wherever you may be, your name cannot escape a search engine, being a callous liar will remain with you forever. For example, type "Mark Atkinson TPE" into google, the top 5 responses are all in conjunction with tpeconspiracy.weebly.com .
THE LIE'S used against me are everywhere from Ged Higgin's to the Company in general especially when asked by the Office of the Rail Regulator if I had informed them about health & safety issue's which can be viewed on this website.
Not forgetting that Charlotte Pears (Mayne) engaged the use of solicitor Simon Robinson of Ford & Warren against me before my hearing and appeal, A COMPLETE STITCH UP from beginning to the present day, we haven't reached the END yet!
After the lie's is the IGNORANCE towards health & safety, the sections titled, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)", prove that TransPennine Express Management put people's lives at risk on a regular basis by totally IGNORING partial and complete warning horn failures. THE EVIDENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
THE REAL ANNOYANCE IS THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THAT THEIR OWN BELIEFS ARE ACTUALLY A DANGER, THEY WOULD RATHER KEEP QUIET AND LET IGNORANCE PREVAIL THAN ATTEMPT TO DO SOMETHING TOWARDS A SAFER RAILWAY. TIM O'TOOLE, YOU REALLY DO NEED TO ACT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, IT IS IN YOUR HANDS AS YOUR TRANSPENNINE EXPRESS DRIVER MANAGEMENT ARE OBLIVIOUS.
DELAYS MEAN MONEY - LIVES MEAN NOTHING.

04:05:14 The following two statements are both made by Mark Atkinson.
1. "Hang on a minute, if your so concerned about this train having faults on it, at the point when you arrived in York, that is the time and place to make sure the train doesn't go any further".
2. "I asserted during the hearing that if Mr Webb was as concerned about the horn defects as he alleged he was, then prior to arriving in York he should have reported the matter immediately and made sure the train did not go any further".
NUMBER 1: IS SAID IN MY HEARING.
NUMBER 2: IS SAID IN HIS WITNESS STATEMENT!!!!
NUMBER 1: STATES, "AT THE POINT WHEN I ARRIVED IN YORK".
NUMBER 2: STATES, "PRIOR TO ARRIVING IN YORK".
SO WHICH ONE IS A LIE?
AMAZINGLY THE ANSWER IS THEY ARE BOTH LIE'S.
1 CONTRADICTS 2, BUT THEY ARE BOTH LIE'S!
BECAUSE A PARTIAL FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE TRAIN WOULD RUN UNRESTRICTED REGARDLESS.
BUT TALK ABOUT KEEPING YOU OPTIONS OPEN, WHICHEVER OPTION I TAKE, I AM ALWAYS GOING TO BE WRONG. MARK ATKINSON IS AN HABITUAL LIAR. HIS WITNESS STATEMENT IS EXACTLY THE SAME, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NEXT QUOTE BY THIS HABITUAL LIAR.
LIE NO 10: “18.1 he did not stop immediately or at the earliest convenience (Darlington or Northallerton stations or signal stops) and report the matter to the controlling signaller as specified in the procedure".
SO STRAIGHT AWAY FROM HIS STATEMENT ABOVE I AM GUILTY WHICHEVER WAY I TURN, HE COVERS HIS BACK BY MAKING A STATEMENT WHICH BASICALLY COVERS THE RULING'S FOR BOTH A PARTIAL AND COMPLETE FAILURE TOGETHER.
BUT, PLEASE ONCE AGAIN REMEMBER THE DISCIPLINARY HEARING OUTCOME LETTER THAT STATED, "You did fail to follow the correct procedure by not reporting it via telephone to control".
SURELY ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF SENSE CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE STITCH UP, IT IS LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE, THIS IS WHY AFTER THE DAMAGE THIS HAS DONE TO MY WIFE AND SON, MY FAMILY AND MYSELF, THAT I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NOT GIVE UP IN MY PURSUIT OF JUSTICE TILL THE DAY I DIE.
02:05:14 To West Yorkshire Police and the CPS, this website not only highlights the PERJURY but has evidence that proves it was a complete witch hunt from beginning to end with these 9 vile individuals, every single section contains evidence that proves this. Some of these individuals are also responsible for destroying other peoples lives with their collusion and lie's, the track record of Barry Cook and his involvement in the Lisa Dunster case is testimony to this disgusting behaviour.
02:05:14 I have just amended many parts in the sections regarding "THE 30 LIE'S", below you will see why, I missed something EXTREMELY RELEVANT, it is a copy of the DISCIPLINARY HEARING OUTCOME LETTER sent to me by the then ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON. I have also added some new questions on this to the first page of "KEY QUESTIONS" and amended the section titled, "Lie's - Further Information".
The MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE from this document is the information it contains regarding his disciplinary hearing findings in relation to CHARGE 1, in that he regards the warning horn as being a PARTIAL FAILURE.
With this in mind you then have to question why in his witness statement does he LIE and imply to the employment tribunal judges that I encountered a much more serious offence of failing to report a "DEFECTIVE", "FULL", warning horn failure which everyone on the railway knows means a COMPLETE FAILURE.

DISCIPLINARY HEARING OUTCOME LETTER
As the whole railway network will understand, the only mention in Mark Atkinson's findings from Charge 1 as set out below is:-
Charge 1: "Failing to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn".
Findings: "You did fail to follow the correct procedure by not reporting it via telephone to control".
WHICH RULING BELOW RELATES TO MARK ATKINSON'S FINDING? YOU DECIDE.
COMPLETE FAILURE RULINGS:
Tell the signaller immediately.
Do not move your train until instructed to do so.
Carry out the instructions given. (which relate to the contingency plans).
The train must travel at a speed of not more than 20mph.
PARTIAL FAILURE RULINGS:
When you are required to report defective on train equipment, depending on the on train equipment concerned, you must.
Tell the train operators control at the first convenient opportunity (see 1.2b). (Includes a PARTIAL FAILURE of the warning horn).
If possible you must AVOID stopping the train:
On a junction.
At any other place where it might be difficult to deal with the situation.
WHY YOU MAY ASK DID MARK ATKINSON NEED TO GO TO THESE LENGTHS IN HIS LIE'S THAT HE THEN HAS TO CONTINUE LYING ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIS WITNESS STATEMENT? ONLY HE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT I KNOW THE ANSWER!
Charge 1: "Failing to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn".

01:05:14 Constance Briscoe: No-one is above the law, say police!
01:05:14 The LIE'S of Mark Atkinson will one day cause death(s), it will be a tragedy that was totally preventable, all caused through IGNORANCE and LIE'S, if the LIE'S of the then ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON go unpunished it is akin to signing someone's death warrant.
*NOBODY CAN EVER, EVER SAY THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED*.
01:05:14 Interesting news, Barry Cook and Mark Atkinson no longer work for TPE!
29:04:14 “It is often said there is too much perjury committed in Court, and it is regrettably true as everyone sitting in Court knows. But it is one thing to suspect that perjury has been committed and another thing to prove it. Perjury is not always easy to prove. Perjurers are not easily brought to justice. When they are they must be punished”.
Perjury is generally governed by the Perjury Act 1911.
This provides that if any one is lawfully sworn as a witness (or as an interpreter) in judicial proceedings and wilfully makes a statement material to those proceedings, which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, he is guilty of perjury.
29:04:14 The following is from page 2 of the KEY QUESTIONS.
LIE NO 19:
THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND EVIDENCE ARE OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO MY ALLEGATIONS OF PERJURY, THEY MUST BE THOROUGHLY EXAMINED. THIS SECTION ALSO HAS MASSIVE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS WHICH MANY YEARS ON HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ADDRESSED!
26. What can I say about this statement! “32 There was a discussion as to whether or not the horn defect was a partial failure or a full failure. This was in reference to the fact that the 185 trains have two tones on their horns. If there is a partial failure, i.e. one of the horn tones fails but the other remains working, then the procedure for Drivers is to report the issue at the soonest convenience as there is always the possibility that the other horn would fail".
(LIE NO 19). Show me where in the minutes we had this discussion?
27. If we did have this discussion, what was the outcome? Did my train have a PARTIAL or COMPLETE failure?
28. If you answer COMPLETE - Then you produce the section in the hearing minutes where this conversation took place, there is the audio available if you dispute the minutes. I NEVER ONCE SAID THAT I HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN.
29. If you answer PARTIAL - Then once again produce the section from the hearing minutes where this was decided. If PARTIAL is your answer then as the whole world can see, you are the most HABITUAL LIAR I have ever come across!
30. Why would you use the SLANG terminology "soonest"? In which ruling is this used?
31. Do you still stand by your statement, "as there is always the possibility that the other horn would fail"? Do you realise what implications this carries?
32. We all know that a train under the rule book and TPE contingency plans can run round all day with only one tone of the horn working, in other words it has a PARTIAL failure. This train can run up to a maximum speed of 100mph like this, but what happens when your statement above becomes reality?
33. This is a SCENARIO SITUATION that could easily happen in the real world. Do you agree or disagree with this scenario?
SCENARIO: It is a cold damp day, you are travelling at 100mph when you encounter an area
of bends and bridges, as you travel round one of these bends you see in front of you approximately 1000 feet away a group of track workers (this could be young children or anyone), you immediately push your warning horn upwards, you get no response!
Remembering at this speed you are travelling at 150 feet per second, (approximately 7 seconds to impact). If you don't actually freeze through the shock, (150 feet per second), you then push the lever downwards, (150 feet per second), nothing happens!
34. Would you agree the possible outcome could be DEATH?
35. What have you done to try and stop this from happening?

29:04:14 I am adding a new section of 3 pages titled, KEY QUESTIONS, this should help anyone who doesn't have railway knowledge when questioning Mark Atkinson regarding my allegations of PERJURY.
I have been asked, why would I give Mark Atkinson an idea of questions he may be asked? My answer was simple, to answer the questions truthfully would vindicate me, but in order for him to insist he is right, he would have to keep lying and as everyone who understands the railway can see there is absolutely nowhere for him to go.
28:04:14 Information given to me recently regarding my dismissal, was that Mark Atkinson had told people close to him that I wasn't being dismissed, but he was then ordered to dismiss me, I am sure you all know who by.
To me this was extremely evident from the early stages of my hearing, I had never come across behaviour like he displayed that afternoon before, you only need to listen to the audio from that hearing to understand what I mean.
Anyway, many things happening behind the scenes, I have the backing of quite a few influential people and the next few months will become very interesting!
28:04:14 I have added a new section containing 3 pages, titled LIES - FURTHER INFORMATION.

27:04:14 Perjury Guidance from the CPS Website.
Date Updated: October 2012
Title: Administration of Justice
Offence: Perjury
Legislation: Perjury Act 1911 section 1
Mode of Trial: Indictable only
Statutory Limitations & Maximum Penalty: 7 years' imprisonment (2 years for perjury in a statutory declaration)
Factors to be considered include:
the number of offences.
whether planned or spontaneous.
whether they were persisted in.
whether the lies told or fabrications embarked upon had any actual impact on the proceedings in question.
whether the activities of the offender drew in others.
the relationship between others drawn in and the offender.
the whole course of conduct.
Perjury is punishable as an offence whether it occurs in criminal or civil proceedings. It may sometimes be appropriate when gauging the harm occasioned by the offending to consider whether the proceedings were civil or criminal since the former characteristically involve only financial loss whereas in the latter an individual's liberty may be in jeopardy. However, this distinction is not conclusive. Perjury may be comparatively trivial in a criminal case or very serious in a civil one. Therefore, no absolute distinction can be drawn in terms of sentence level merely because the proceedings concerned were of a civil or a criminal nature.

25:04:14 WEST YORKSHIRE POLICE, REFERENCE NUMBER 1372, PLEASE NOTE, At the end of the section titled, THE 30 LIE'S (21 - 30) there is a message for you, please read through these 3 sections on the 30 LIE'S. The witness statement of LIAR Mark Atkinson is also on this website.
Along with the above information you will also find the hearing minutes and the audio version of these minutes. Then all you need is Judge Burton's written reasons, cross reference this mix of information and you have all the proof you need that shows beyond any reasonable doubt that Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson is guilty of PERJURY.
22:04:14 Just to remind all 9 of you, I am still here fighting fit, there is a lot of things happening behind the scenes that you may or may not be aware of! I will never ever give up. You are all in my sights, from Vernon Barker to Ged Higgins, make no mistake, this is coming back to haunt every single one of you!

23:03:14 The following is the further information that I recently added to the section titled, "Burchell Test (Law)", the more I read this, the more it still really angers me how TPE got away with murder (at present).
More information to back up my argument
4. Mark Atkinson was asked by my representative Steve Trumm, (Hearing).
“What is your ideal solution to the issue”.
“What do we do collectively as a grade of drivers to operate to the standards you want us to operate to with these trains"?
"Do you want every train pulled every time there was a horn defect”?
Mark Atkinson`s response was, “I DON'T KNOW”, “AND I DON'T THINK IT IS FOR DEBATE IN THIS FORUM”.
This is a senior manager, who basically cannot answer what he expects of drivers under his
control faced with the exact same problem that I had, he admits that HE DOESN'T KNOW!
So you have to ask yourself, if he doesn`t know the answer, how can he possibly find me guilty
on charges that when (a) he has no idea what to do, if a train has a defective warning horn in the future and (b) has no idea what he expects of Drivers under his management.
This was clearly the right place to debate the very issue that was at the heart of this hearing, IT WAS THE SUPPOSED REASON WHY I WAS DISMISSED! So I find it unbelievable that Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson cannot debate this topic or give his own reasoning to the question, "What is your ideal solution", to me this shows that this individual was and is way out of his depth. I have supposedly done something abhorrently wrong that it warranted a charge of gross misconduct and all Steve Trumm asked, was basically, WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE IN THE SITUATION I WAS FACED WITH?
Remember the following statement made by this man earlier in the very same hearing.
"And that is why in reading the charge out, and reading out exactly what he should have done, I'll understand why he didn't do that".
So why all of a sudden is this "not for debate"?
WHAT HAPPENED TO, "and reading out exactly what he should have done"?
You've guessed it, Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson cannot answer because if he answers truthfully it vindicates me.
EVERYTHING AGAINST ME WAS MADE TO FIT.

EVERYTHING AGAINST ME WAS MADE TO FIT.
21:03:14 Even further information has been added to the recent section titled, "Burchell Test (Law)". It highlights just how much Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson was out of his depth in the hearing and how everything was simply made to fit, making a complete mockery of the Burchell Test.
19:03:14 Further information titled, "Further Evidence" has been added to the section titled, "Burchell Test (Law)".
17:03:14 Below is a summary of the "Burchell Test".
Paul Watson, Mark Atkinson and Charlotte Mayne know deep down inside how lucky they were that day, especially Mark Atkinson, the very first question I asked this man in that tribunal was, "on the day in question, what type of warning horn failure did my train have"?
I will never forget the way Mark Atkinson went bright red and started to perspire profusely, fumble his way through some paperwork in front of him and couldn't respond with any answer, straight away this should have been all the proof those judges required to see that TPE had just failed the Burchell Test below:-
1. that they held a genuine belief the employee was guilty of the alleged misconduct.
2. that the genuine belief is based on reasonable grounds, and
3. the grounds for holding that belief were established after an investigation that was reasonable in all the circumstances of the case.
Mark Atkinson never gave any type of answer whatsoever, so clearly he couldn't possibly have had (1) a genuine belief, because (2) he didn't have reasonable grounds despite the very fact that he took my hearing and he found me guilty of failing to report a defective warning horn, which amazingly was not based on any evidence supplied from the investigation! Lets not forget, Mark Atkinson took my hearing and supplemented his own idea's on what happened that January morning, would you call that "reasonable grounds"?
Yet now in this tribunal he cannot answer what type of failure the warning horn had that morning, this was the most fundamental issue surrounding my dismissal and he cannot answer. This was because (3) the investigation was not reasonable in backing up the charges they laid against me, it never ascertained key information regarding procedures allegedly broken , this is Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson failing the Burchell test on all 3 counts miserably.
This is where Stephen Percival would also fail the Burchell Test. "Reasonable grounds" would have been an investigation that specifically set out to charge me with failing to report either a partially defective or complete warning horn failure. Despite being interviewed twice by manager Stephen Percival he never once asked about or mentioned the behaviour of the warning horn. If he had specifically asked me about the warning horn and then decided I failed to follow a reporting procedure you could possibly accept that he held a "genuine belief".
Furthermore:- Looking at the only alleged non-compliance of this whole investigation which was deemed by Stephen Percival to be, "NOT FOLLOWING THE CORRECT REPORTING PROCEDURE". As shown below.
(1*) "By not following the correct reporting procedure the driver allowed the unit to remain in
traffic". (2*) "with faults that he believed to be serious and potentially capable of contributing to a safety of the line incident".
How can it be "reasonable grounds" or having a "genuine belief" (1*) when you fail to identify the precise reporting procedure I didn't allegedly follow, all that was required was the rule book prefix, (2*) and then you have to rely on the beliefs of the very person you are charging and not your own belief from your own investigatory findings?
Yet all of this passed the Burchell Test in their favour! Great British Justice at its best!
HOW CAN THREE JUDGES IGNORE THIS UNLESS LIKE I BELIEVE, THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT AND IF THEY ARE NOT CORRUPT THEY ARE INCOMPETENT.
THERE IS NO WONDER THAT I KEEP GOING, WHEN YOU READ ABOUT THE "BURCHELL TEST" AND SEE HOW TPE GOT AWAY WITH THIS, FIGHTING THIS CAUSE TAKES TIME, BUT I HAVE THAT IN ABUNDANCE, MY DAY IS GETTING CLOSER.
14:03:14 Today I have added a new section titled "Burchell Test (Law)", I shouldn't have to
show Judge Burton how he failed to uphold the law but in this case there is no other alternative, this is because I am up against what I consider corruption at the highest level, other issues are coming along very nicely and I have no doubt whatsoever, I will get JUSTICE.
Just a reminder to you all, when your in-fighting commences or continues and you are all worried about retaining your positions it will be dog eat dog!
11:03:14 My son Steven is 6 years old today, I have seen him at birth, when he was 1 year old and 16 months ago, that is 3 times in 6 years. This is all because of you vile disgusting cowardly individuals, I hope you all realise that you will eventually be held accountable for your actions, which I know full well will result in you blaming others, if you have one ounce of decency, what is stopping you from explaining all now? I will have my day eventually.
04:03:14 I was asked the other day why I continue with everything against TPE, the answer is simple, when it is so blatantly obvious to everyone who looks at this website that a major miscarriage of justice (that is putting it mildly) has been committed why the hell should I sit back like many before and after me and let the bully win?
My son is 6 years old next week, I have seen him and my wife 3 times in nearly 6 years, the pain and anguish this causes for all concerned is all the fuel I need to keep going and I will keep going until I get retribution, who knows what is around the corner, do you?
03:03:14 Tonight I read through all the witness statements again, I cannot believe the corruption that went on in this case, from the evidence put forward, the whole system is corrupt, the Judiciary are an absolute disgrace. Yet I live in hope and can tell the whole world that I am still breathing, in other words I will never give up in my quest for justice, I will succeed eventually and when I do, where will that leave certain individuals in the "Vile gang of 9"?
The meaning of the descriptive word, "Vile".
vile (vīl) adj. vil·er, vil·est
1. Loathsome; disgusting: vile language.
2. Unpleasant or objectionable: vile
weather. See Synonyms at offensive.
3.

4. Miserably poor and degrading; wretched: a vile existence.
5. Morally depraved; ignoble or wicked: a vile conspiracy.
02:03:14 Would the person(s)who kindly sent me the recent information get in touch with me preferably via email at [email protected] please, just make up an email address to make contact.
28:02:14 Today I received some very interesting information, I totally agree with what was said and hope this information regarding coming to a conclusion is true, whoever you are, I appreciate your thoughts and help.
23:02:14 FCC ballot 10 Feb 2014
Drivers at First Capital Connect have voted overwhelmingly for strike action over the company's misapplication of disciplinary procedures. 83.7% drivers voted yes to strike action; 16.3% voted no. Turnout, report Electoral Reform Services, was 83.1%.
"We are extremely disappointed that ASLEF are balloting our employees", NO WONDER, because they knew what the outcome would be.
18:02:14 The following statement was made by First Group, First Capital Connect.
"A spokeswoman for FCC said: “We are extremely disappointed that ASLEF are balloting our employees, their members, for their desire to take part in a strike, following two dismissals due to conscious and deliberate violations that could have endangered life.

"Conscious and deliberate violations that could have endangered life", the only individuals that endanger life are your own management through neglect and their most famous trait, "IGNORANCE", ask Mark Atkinson, Paul Watson and Tim O'Toole about "endangering life", you only have to read this website which is living proof that First Group couldn't give a damn about safety, the only way they know how to behave is with the use of trumped up charges that they then label as "gross misconduct", and if you all want to know why this keeps happening, it is because your unions allow it!
11:02:14 MARK ATKINSON, just a little reminder for you below, do you realise how serious lying under oath is? Do you understand the consequences of this?
A mistake of fact or an unintentional misrepresentation of fact is not considered to be perjury. In order for a witness to commit perjury during his or her testimony in court, he or she must intentionally make a false statement of fact. In addition, in many places, telling a lie about something immaterial to the matter before the court is not considered perjury. The statement upon which a charge of perjury is based must be something that was relevant to the court's decision in the matter before the court.
A person may also be guilty of lying under oath in writing. Many legal documents include a statement attesting to the fact that the person executing the document swears, under the penalties of perjury, that the information contained in the document is true and accurate. Once a person signs the document, he or she (YOU) is subject to a charge of perjury if a material fact was misrepresented or a false statement was made in the document.
I AM FINALLY GETTING INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE LISTENING, IT IS FAR FROM OVER FOR YOU MR MARK ATKINSON, NOW WHERE DO YOU GO?
NOT ONE FALSE STATEMENT, BUT AT LEAST 30 BLATANT LIE'S!
What you need to remember (you and the rest of them) is that your lying, disgusting actions, collusion, deprived me of everything, you left me with absolutely nothing, not even my family. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, we all know what went on, the whole of TPE knows what occurred. It has taken this long to finally get people to take notice, but even if it was another 25 years, I WOULD NEVER GIVE UP, you and the rest are responsible for taking everything I had and for that my feelings are best kept to me, time will deliver the final outcome, the same time is an unknown destiny!
19:03:14 Further information titled, "Further Evidence" has been added to the section titled, "Burchell Test (Law)".

09:02:14 Tim O'Toole, for once stop the IGNORANCE and be a man. Remember the email below?
You cannot answer this because it clearly shows through irrefutable evidence that your TPE management colluded against me with lie after lie, I hope you feel proud of this behaviour.
Our Ref: TOT-0213-047
Name: Perry Webb
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your email which we received on 15 May 2013.
We are looking into the issues you have raised and Tim O'Toole, Chief Executive, will respond to you in due course.
Yours sincerely,
Ashlaich J Lockhead
Secretary to the Chief Executive Office.
02:02:14 I believe that there is discontent at First Capital Connect over the way management treat the drivers, all I have to say is look how these so called managers behave at First TransPennine Express, LIARS, CLUELESS and BACKWARD and these three descriptions are being nice to them!
Welcome to the First Group management trait which as everyone can see from this website, IGNORANCE prevails from the CEO Tim O'Toole downwards.
02:02:14 The section, "Changes required now!", really does need action to be taken, you need to change the ruling NOW, if you want to play "Russian Roulette" that is your prerogative, but for once stop the IGNORANCE and put SAFETY FIRST, if you fail to heed this warning I will personally hold you all responsible if anyone is injured or killed.
30:01:14 "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)" for the second month running has been the section with the most hits averaging around 175 hits per day, clearly someone is showing interest! However on a daily basis the most hits in one day was the section only just added, "THE 30 LIE'S" with 583 hits yesterday, really nice to see that individuals whoever they may be are taking notice of Mark Atkinson's BLATANT LIE'S.
You cannot answer this because it clearly shows through irrefutable evidence that your TPE management colluded against me with lie after lie, I hope you feel proud of this behaviour.

28:01:14 Judge Burton the presiding judge at my employment tribunal as anyone who was there witnessed, did not want to be there, took no notice of anything I had to say and refused to let me read out my witness statement. One precedent he should have taken into account is as follows:
In Strouthos v London Underground Ltd [2004] IRLR 636 CA.
"It is a basic proposition in internal proceedings that a charge against an employee facing dismissal should be precisely framed and the evidence should be confined to the particulars given in the charge".
Charge 1: "On Wednesday 14th January you failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn".
So where did the evidence come from to "frame" this charge?
A: Stephen Percival's Investigation Report?
B: Plucked out of thin air?
C: Barry Cook's imagination?
To level this charge which Barry Cook said was "gross misconduct" which could result in dismissal you would expect that the "investigation report" would have contained evidence to support this severe charge. You however would be wrong, Stephen Percival never ascertained anything regarding how the warning horn behaved that morning because his only agenda was to try and make me look as bad as possible.
So where did this charge come from? Why such a "non specific" charge? Why not a "partial" or even a "complete" failure of the warning horn? The answers are obvious, Barry Cook used his imagination to pluck out of thin air a charge that he could use as a weapon and label this charge as gross misconduct. The precedent above should have thrown that charge out of the room.

26:01:14 A new section had been added called "THE 30 LIE'S", it is a simplified list on the "PERJURY" of Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson, due to the attention's being given in the Lisa Dunster case, individuals in high places have been made aware of this website. Guidance given has told me to take this report on "PERJURY" as far and high as possible.
22:01:14 This is a reminder to Paul Watson and especially Mark Atkinson, you never beat me, you will never be men enough to do that, your lie's (for now) beat me, but I will never give up my pursuit for justice, I have ruffled many feathers and continue to do so, your "PERJURY" will not go away and I continue to pursue it, your final downfall will be your belief that you are both untouchable, in other words your arrogance and ignorance.
06:01:14 It says everything you need to know when a person cannot look you in the face.
04:01:14 A new section has been added called, "CEO Tim O'Toole", it highlights what you already know about TransPennine Express and First Group, they are the biggest set of IGNORANT PIGS you will ever come across in your life and sorry if that is being disrespectful to a pig.
31:12:13 A very interesting development occurred this morning, I was contacted by 2 newspapers, one mainstream and the other online, unbeknown to me, recent events in the media there has been speculation that train drivers are on a "blacklist", apparently these 2 newspapers seem to think my name has been found on one of these lists! Investigations underway.
I was told 4 years ago by a driver manager from a local train operating company that my name was on a blacklist and forget about applying for a driving job anywhere in this country. INTERESTING NEW YEAR AHEAD! Especially remembering my good friends Terry & Lisa, this will be their year!

22/12/13: The photo above is the nearest I will get to my family this Christmas, all because I tried to make safety on the railway paramount and not forgetting the collusion from a group of individuals that I absolutely despise namely, Watson, Atkinson, Mayne, Percival, Cook, Barker, Steele, Turpin & Higgins whom I eventually will avenge.
22/12/13: Tim O'Toole you are a stupid man, I would have thought that someone in your position faced with the evidence on this website and your written assurance you would respond to me would of actually
materialised, instead you keep up the Transpennine Express Trait and fall back on the only thing your company are actually good at - IGNORANCE. I hope you realise that by trusting in that shambles of a cowboy management you have placed your faith in you are possibly signing the death warrant of innocent people.
YOU CAN NEVER SAY THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED.
30/11/13: Even though I have been rather quiet of late, I will never, never give up in my quest for justice, you may all think that the employment tribunal killed off any chance I had, if you do think this then you are all sadly mistaken.
Behind the scenes events are turning, certain individuals are coming forward with help and information, most recently from individuals who are helping Lisa Dunster, remember this lady? A woman who suffered severe victimisation for bringing a serious safety related matter to your attention and so the pattern emerges and continues, your actions and behaviour towards me will not go unpunished, I WILL have my day.
Below is a passage about a similar case to mine, this man won because he didn`t have a lazy judge who didn`t want to be there and who failed to follow laid down procedures, how the hell can anyone go before a tribunal and not be allowed to read out their witness statement, the fundamental reason you are in that tribunal?
A rail worker has won £200,000 in compensation for being sacked after he blew the whistle on a manager who asked him to lie about an accident. Jim Glencross, 58, of Carlisle, said Network Rail sacked him because
he reported unsafe working practices which led to a colleague being injured. Network Rail insisted Mr Glencross was sacked for an unrelated matter. But defending himself at an employment tribunal, Mr Glencross successfully argued he had been unfairly dismissed. On Wednesday, the tribunal in Carlisle awarded Mr Glencross the six-figure sum to compensate him for lost earnings.
Mr Glencross said he had originally been pressurised into making a false statement about the accident, which he witnessed in 2004. But after changing his statement he was sacked. An earlier tribunal hearing unanimously decided Mr Glencross had been unfairly dismissed. Wednesday's hearing determined the level of compensation. Mr Glencross said he had tried to avoid any legal action, but felt vindicated by the tribunal decision. In a statement, Network Rail said: "We maintain that Mr Glencross was dismissed as a result of misconduct with regard to safety on the railway, something we take extremely seriously. "We remain disappointed that the court did not share this view." The company said its lawyers were considering the decision. A further hearing is due to be held to determine whether Mr Glencross was victimised before his dismissal.
A further news bulletin is extremely poignant.
Network Rail staff 'fear' led to false safety records:
Hundreds of accidents at Network Rail were never reported because staff felt under pressure to keep the numbers down, an independent inquiry has found.
The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) said some staff were "fearful" about being marked as trouble makers.
This led to management falsely believing that the procedures they had introduced had led to a significant improvement in safety standards.
Network Rail said it needed to "heed the lessons" in the report.
The RSSB estimates that between 2005 and 2010 up to 600, or one-third of all accidents, were not notified to the company, mainly because of a conscious decision by employees.
The reasons included:
Staff were "fearful" of reporting accidents and incidents in case they were marked out as trouble makers and lost their jobs.
Notice the similarity with Transpennine Express, how many safety related issues went unreported through the same fears? There is very good reason why nobody reports anything and myself along with Lisa Dunster are prime examples, YOU WILL BE DISMISSED.
15/11/13: 7:30am and I walk towards Barry Cook who puts his hands in front of his face, that is what a gutless individual this man is. He didn't think I recognised him, but when you detest someone as much as I detest this piece of dirt there is no hiding place. Just for the record, this wasn't "stalking", it was pure coincidence.
06/11/13: "Concerns November 2013" has just been added, this is information I received through the post from an anonymous source, I will add my thoughts on this shortly.
29/10/13: It is day's like today that drives me on against you disgusting excuses for human beings, I had to listen to my son crying because he is unwell, the feeling of helplessness and despair is sheer mental torture especially as he is over 5000 miles away. Do you have any idea what it feels like listening to a 5 year old asking for his dad and there is absolutely nothing that you can say or do that will make him feel better.
You all conspired to put me in this position with possibly the exception of two individuals. I struggle to understand your vindictiveness in the goal you set out to achieve, even by putting myself in your shoes, I struggle to come to terms with your actions.
You have no idea what it feels like to be parted from your wife and child, for me it is a daily mental torture made worse by today's events. How would you feel? Really HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
This is why I will never stop my pursuit of justice against you, one way or another you will all meet your judge eventually, I know all about your back slapping and congratulating each other after my dismissal, the things some of you said to drivers, especially Stephen Percival, you must have known that these drivers would tell me.
I sincerely hope that one day you all suffer the same mental anguish you are responsible for putting me through, in fact I really hope it is far worse. Next time you see me, be man enough to look me in the face.
You are all simply the most low-life pieces of gutter trash I have ever had the misfortune to meet, but you must remember that my misfortune will inevitably become YOUR MISFORTUNE. That is guaranteed.
24/10/13: On this Thursday evening at 19.27hrs I received a phone call from the British Transport Police, the message was, “the Crown Prosecution Service will not be taking any action against you”.
NICE TRY, but then again I suppose with all this evidence against you all, you had to try some way to discredit me. You obviously cannot find a way with what I have produced on this website because the TRUTH cannot be beaten, you know that you cannot answer my questions without further implicating yourselves, so lets all face reality, you are all a bunch of SCUM-BAG LIARS something you cannot and never will escape from, which one day will be your downfall.
In some respects its a shame that I cannot go before a jury to explain myself, I also know that it will be a relief to some of you that no further action has been taken, because some of you have dirtier laundry than others and none of you want me to hang it out for you, although it would have been very interesting listening to Andrew Steele explain himself.
I know you wanted me to take the caution offered for the alleged “harassment and stalking”, so that further down the line you can use it to smear my character, I hope that I didn't disappoint you all too much in refusing this caution.
Harassment: For openly challenging all your actions, for pointing out your LIE'S, your vindictive nature, for pointing out comparison's between your families and what I have left of mine, for calling you all VILE, the only harassment you felt was your guilt pricking you, I know you find solace among yourselves but believe me, your welcome to it.
Stalking: For accidentally being in the same place as Stephen Percival on four different occasions, each time with a legitimate reason to be there, to even make this accusation says to me that this VILE individual has something to hide from, the answer being, HE IS HIDING FROM THE TRUTH. That also explains why he cannot look me in the face.
The terms SCUM-BAGS and VILE are descriptive words I use to show my emotion in the way I feel about you all as individuals, this will never change, because you will always be VILE SCUM-BAGS to the day I die.

19/10/13: The top three sections getting attention for the past month are:-
1st: Message to First Group Board: Not only is this section a WARNING that responsibility for safety is in these directors hands and they will ultimately be held responsible for any future incidents and accidents, it also explains the mentality of their management. This mentality is the reason you struggle to run trains through lack of drivers and the main reason you have a complete breakdown in communications with ASLEF.
2nd: Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth): The reason why this is being scrutinised is because certain individuals outside the railway but high up in the world of safety management are starting to realise and have known for a long time that TPE are treading such a fine line between life and death where safety really matters. You cannot escape from this evidence unless you are prepared to state publicly that the evidence I have displayed on this website is fabricated, unlike your management especially with the Lisa Dunster case which must be costing your shareholders an absolute fortune, I don't have to fabricate any of this, the evidence is self explanatory.
Your management IGNORED the rule book, your own contingency plans and numerous reports that highlighted the possible consequences of running trains with defective warning horns. Because I brought this to their attention along with many other safety related issues, instead of looking at the problems they dismiss the messenger. "Safety is our number one priority", what a disgusting sick joke that statement is, this website shows you all why I can safely state this without any fear of retribution, its because my evidence is irrefutable.
Your management never followed any of the procedures that were in place from your own procedures, the "Blue Book" or ACAS procedures, because your only agenda was get rid of Webb, your management made far too many mistakes which are highlighted all over this website, I ask questions which we all know cannot be truthfully answered, but one day someone will have to answer those very questions!
Heads in the clouds, IGNORANCE IS BLISS, easy to sit back and do the only thing you are good at and that is IGNORANCE, but when the day of reckoning arrives just think, I could have been your SAVIOUR but when this day does arrive I will be your EXECUTIONER. I don't get any pleasure out of writing this, just a sense of sadness and despair that individuals in a position of power when faced with overwhelming evidence which is screaming out, "please do something before it is too late", choose to follow the same route as their IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED AND BULLYBOY MANAGEMENT.
These sections, Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth): prove beyond any reasonable doubt whatsoever that TPE management completely IGNORED serious safety implications that highlighted not only their IGNORANCE towards this issue but showed a trait that continued in every aspect of railway safety, which leads me to number three.
3rd: Case Management Discussion: Stuck between a hard place and a rock, nowhere to hide, I produced hundreds of pages of reports that were systematically IGNORED on every issue you can think of regarding safety in the railway environment, when produced to Judge Grazin I could see the look of bewilderment on his face, even more so when solicitor Simon Robinson had to concede that TPE Management TOTALLY IGNORED EVERY SINGLE REPORT. No wonder that finally, recognised individuals and organisations are taking notice.
Ironically the 4th highest is:- TPE Management Behaviour!
12/10/13: IF FIRST GROUP HAD ANY MORALS AND CARE REGARDING EMPLOYEE RELATIONS AND ABOVE ALL ELSE SAFETY THEN THEY WOULD ACT IN THE SAME MANNER AS THIS, PERHAPS IF THE ASSOCIATED UNIONS WHO REGULARLY COMPLAIN ABOUT EMPLOYEE RELATIONS HAD ANY BALLS THEY WOULD FOLLOW UNISON'S LEAD.
Six former employees at Leeds and Partners, set up to bring investment to the city, have lodged formal grievances against chief executive Lurene Joseph. Unison said an inquiry should be held to investigate the management and leadership of the company. Leeds and Partners said it could not comment while an investigation was taking place.
The statement of grievance accuses Ms Joseph, who has been in post since May 2012, of systematic and sustained bullying, victimisation and misuse of power. Another nine former employees have written supportive statements. Dean Harper, area organiser for Unison, said: "We would ask now the complaints have been received that the employer looks at commissioning an independent inquiry into the management and leadership of Leeds and Partners because they are of a serious nature these allegations."
HOW MANY CURRENT AND FORMER EMPLOYEES DO YOU THINK I COULD GET?
SYSTEMATIC AND SUSTAINED BULLYING: TRAIT 1.
VICTIMISATION: TRAIT 2.
MISUSE OF POWER: TRAIT 3.
THE ABOVE THREE TRAITS SUM UP TPE MANAGEMENT PERFECTLY. MY EVIDENCE OF THIS IS ALL OVER THIS WEBSITE.
JUST TO REMIND:- BARKER, COOK, WATSON, ATKINSON, MAYNE, PERCIVAL, TURPIN, STEELE & HIGGINS, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP IN MY PURSUIT OF JUSTICE, NEVER!
REMEMBER THIS, ONE DAY I WILL SUCCEED IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!
THE DAMAGE YOU HAVE CAUSED TO ME AND MY FAMILY CAN NEVER BE REPAIRED, UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES I NEVER WISH ILL ON ANYONE, BUT FOR SEVEN OUT OF YOU NINE DISGUSTING EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BEINGS, I WISH, I REALLY WISH.

8/10/13: Regarding "employee relations", I received some information today and below is a rather interesting paragraph from that information.
"The Drivers"engineers" Labor Workers Union members need to remember this company is
renowned in the Railway Industry and within prominent circles for poor Labor relations with consequential employment issues many within the courts causing intense scrutiny of its activities in all aspects. Its Corporate shareholders have taken note appreciating that it has since its inception bought its way out of all situations by showing only deceit and contempt to its unwanted employees causing untold grief to them with resultant undue attention. It has as a result is facing intensive investigations for its activities damaging the Holding Group and its Stakeholder partners prospects of further franchise awards. It is to be resisted totally in its efforts to again buy itself beyond the jurisdiction of legitimate Transport Labor Unions".
Make of this what you like!
On a further interesting note, I have forwarded on request to a very interesting party the emails between Charlotte Pears (Mayne) and solicitor for Ford & Warren, Simon Robinson, they are displayed in the section, "TPE use a solicitor". They simply highlight the fact that no matter what my defence I was being dismissed, otherwise why would TPE have to resort to using a solicitor before my hearing and appeal?
This was something I couldn't mention in my tribunal because solicitor Simon Robinson used a clause called "Legal Professional Privilege", to stop me bringing this to the attention of the judges.
4/10/13: Can it really be that the TPE production line keep churning out poor performing staff? Employee's are dismissed like modern day cannon fodder, how can this be?
Are these staff trained to the highest standards possible? Because if they are, then clearly questions need asking on exactly what level of training is provided, if it was anything like I experienced then it was absolutely non existent and I have evidence to back up what I state.
TPE Management are experts in deflecting blame, it is never them to blame, yet their employee relations record over the years is appalling, it won't be far away before the regime they collectively hide behind turns on one of them, that is when the fun will really start or even the day they are properly investigated, worse case scenario they have a corporate manslaughter charge hanging over them. REMEMBER, you read it here first!
4/10/13: I was also reliably informed today that the conductor who was involved with the Newcastle door incident lost his appeal against dismissal. Did anyone out there expect anything else?
"Sorry your honour, it wasn't our fault, it was that employee, but don't worry we have got rid of him"!
Do these idiots know anything else other than dismissal? In this situation, what use is dismissal? Nobody learns from this, what message is this sending out to all other conductors? To me this is another fine example of a control measure, the message is simple, "don't mess with us"!
The cause of this situation was hand crafted by TPE management, that is where the blame should lie. I really look forward to the RAIB report on this.
Yet as usual TPE have a scapegoat in the form of the employee, no matter what this man's defence, even if it was a case of mistaken identity, they would have dismissed him because this is the mentality, they know nothing else, in reality they are the backward child, but they forget one massive issue, people have long memories and some no doubt hold deep rooted anger, look at life like a revolving walkway because one day it will be your turn to pass our way!
4/10/13: Regarding the £1000 bribe below, I have been inundated with information, there was one comment however that stood out, it is displayed below.
"In a shareholders capacity and as a former tax official I would be interested in a number of aspects, of lack of fiscal control relating to personal authorisation given to outsourced Paybills and pension. In certain declared instances files mislaid and no response to basic questions asked as part of prepared official investigatory approach. Notwithstanding I would ask how my Company is bringing itself into open legal and potential Safety compliance investigation when the Group is attempting to persuade its Stakeholders of its long term viability to procure new
franchises beyond the 2015 shakeup! That latter matter very relevant given the WCM Line debacle and the noted reluctance of Keolis to be openly associated with the Group".
3/10/13: £1000 Bribe just to drive a train! Unbelievable but true. Not only just to drive a train, but to drive the train on overtime! Chief Executive, Shareholders are you happy at this?
This is because dialogue is beyond certain individuals, something I found out first hand.
Those of you that have accepted this bribe, do not get false thoughts that this will make you invincible, because believe me this management will quite easily wipe you out when your use is no longer required.
28/9/2013: Information recently received once again shows how you brazenly set out to dismiss employees without a care in the world, you behave and act as if you are god almighty. Not one of you has any idea about how your vindictive actions have such a severe knock on effect to the person concerned.
In my case you literally cost me everything, I have seen my wife and son 3 times in 5 years, my parents who are both extremely ill have never seen them and sadly I doubt ever will. You have caused misery to many people, the suffering is immense, but make no mistake, your day will arrive. This is the reason why I absolutely detest every single one of you, some much more than others. Look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourself, "what was my role and actions towards this dismissal"? Although I doubt very much that some of you can even be truthful to yourselves!
19/9/2013: I have just been passed the case file and associated paperwork relating to the Lisa Dunster case, literally thousands of pages. I am absolutely astounded by what I am looking at, but for now this will stay out of sight, but make no mistake, when I am given the all clear by Lisa, I will display everything for the whole world to see. Some of you will definitely be shocked by this! Please do not be brainwashed by PROPAGANDA, wait for the TRUTH all with documented proof.
LIES, LIES and more LIES, how much money has this management cost First Group in litigation?
People in high places are taking notice, you will all face judgement day soon! There will be no hiding place.
11/9/13: Today I received some further very interesting information which is now displayed. It involves the "Newcastle Incident" and relations between ASLEF & TPE.
Information has been added to "Newcastle Station Incident 5th June 2013".
Also added: New section titled, "Concerns September 2013".
3/9/13: Some further information has been added to, "Message to First Group Board".
29/8/13: Today, speaking to some ex colleagues I was informed of another instance where a Driver Manager, Ged Higgins slates a Driver under his (so called) management.
Recap: Mr Higgins labelled an ex York Driver "The second highest risk Driver at York" without any foundation to back this statement up (further information on this will be added when the time is right). The same man also said that Driver Geoff Lee was not a good Driver!
Yet in a recent event, he travels with a York Driver and labels him the worst Driver he had been with! The ironic twist being that only weeks before Driver Manager Andrew Steele nominates this Driver for the Driver of the year award.
You must seriously have to challenge this management through this unbelievable evaluation, it shows that something is fundamentally wrong.
I actually have sympathy for Ged Higgins, because he was thrown to the sharks without a cage, I
know on the railway that experience really counts, I cannot blame this man for taking the role he is in. His immediate problem is no back up and pressure from Barry Cook and above, he has been put in such a position through his LIE'S that I believe he fears for his job and dare not speak out because of this pressure. This is why I said before, save your evidence Mr Higgins, because make no mistake, one day soon you will need it.
The above probably explains why statements were withdrawn which would have backed Naz Chikhalia up.
29/8/13: A further message has been added to, "Message to First Group Board".
26/8/13: Further information added to the section, "Newcastle Station Incident".
20/8/13: A few more paragraphs have been added to the section, "Message to First Group Board".
20/8/13: Today I have reliably been informed about a situation that has arisen at York Depot.
Scenario: We have a Driver and a Driver Manager from the same depot, they have both been told, should your paths cross, you both walk the other way!
This should never be allowed and I am not going to explain why because anyone with an ounce of common sense knows why. So why did it get this bad in the first place that a working relationship disintegrates so badly? The answer is because one of these individuals is a LIAR, you all know who I mean and you all know why. I do have lot's more evidence on this individual's LIE'S, but this will be displayed only when the time is right.
TransPennine Express know this, the way this has been dealt with proves this, the whole sequence of events going back to my dismissal prove this, the interview minutes, the missing pages, the fact that the outcome was not sorted before my appeal hearing especially considering the relevance to my case, the very fact that this Manager had a grievance against him over all of this and the extreme length of time it took to sort this grievance out.
This is the shambles and once again attitude towards safety and all because certain managers know they will lose their face over this, I was going to say credibility and integrity, but to me, that was lost years ago, my website is all anyone needs to read to find out why!
Behind the scenes, things are happening, not as quickly as I would like, but nevertheless in this slow process the jigsaw is being pieced together, my allies are growing, support is coming from unlikely sources and I WILL SUCCEED in my goal, the time is all mine, although thankfully for me, it is not my time-bomb that is ticking! What I do hope and pray, is that it is not innocent people who become victims of this time-bomb.
The time-bomb is a monster you created through your IGNORANCE which in turn evolved a backward mentality that is sadly still evident. What really frightens me, is what will happen next? Please notice that I say, "WILL"!
"The Drivers"engineers" Labor Workers Union members need to remember this company is
renowned in the Railway Industry and within prominent circles for poor Labor relations with consequential employment issues many within the courts causing intense scrutiny of its activities in all aspects. Its Corporate shareholders have taken note appreciating that it has since its inception bought its way out of all situations by showing only deceit and contempt to its unwanted employees causing untold grief to them with resultant undue attention. It has as a result is facing intensive investigations for its activities damaging the Holding Group and its Stakeholder partners prospects of further franchise awards. It is to be resisted totally in its efforts to again buy itself beyond the jurisdiction of legitimate Transport Labor Unions".
Make of this what you like!
On a further interesting note, I have forwarded on request to a very interesting party the emails between Charlotte Pears (Mayne) and solicitor for Ford & Warren, Simon Robinson, they are displayed in the section, "TPE use a solicitor". They simply highlight the fact that no matter what my defence I was being dismissed, otherwise why would TPE have to resort to using a solicitor before my hearing and appeal?
This was something I couldn't mention in my tribunal because solicitor Simon Robinson used a clause called "Legal Professional Privilege", to stop me bringing this to the attention of the judges.
4/10/13: Can it really be that the TPE production line keep churning out poor performing staff? Employee's are dismissed like modern day cannon fodder, how can this be?
Are these staff trained to the highest standards possible? Because if they are, then clearly questions need asking on exactly what level of training is provided, if it was anything like I experienced then it was absolutely non existent and I have evidence to back up what I state.
TPE Management are experts in deflecting blame, it is never them to blame, yet their employee relations record over the years is appalling, it won't be far away before the regime they collectively hide behind turns on one of them, that is when the fun will really start or even the day they are properly investigated, worse case scenario they have a corporate manslaughter charge hanging over them.

12/8/13: New section added, "Newcastle Station Incident June 5th 2013", a truly shocking incident that raises numerous questions but that was also totally FORESEEABLE and totally PREVENTABLE.
FORESEEABLE: Through a thorough Risk Assessment.
PREVENTABLE: From the findings of such a thorough Risk Assessment.
The easiest way to prevent this from happening again is not rocket science, there are actually a few solutions. If you struggle to find a solution then I will gladly give you the most cost effective way of how you deal with dispatching a train on a curve.
12/8/13: I believe that TPE have a new Head of Driver's! It must be a real kick in the teeth for some of you?
But before you start running to the Transport Police, "It must be a real kick in the teeth for some of you", is not a direct or indirect threat, it is a commonly used phrase to suggest that you must be really sick of missing out.
It was certainly a shock for me, learning that a Conductor Manager was appointed to this role! For some of you, do you wonder why you were never appointed to this role?
11/8/13: I have added a further message at the end of the section, "Message to First Group Board".
8/8/13: As "Case Management Discussion", is currently attracting the most attention, I will give 3 main facts from this information.
1. "It is equally not in dispute that in the vast majority, if not all, of those cases, the Respondent (TPE) simply did not respond to them".
2. "The actual evidence that the complaints were made and not acted upon will not, in practical terms, be in dispute".
3. "The reason that the respondent acted in dismissing him was that it took action upon the near miss report because it believed that to be an act of serious misconduct".
Numbers 1 and 2: Indisputable evidence of IGNORANCE at the highest level. Hundreds of reports totally IGNORED. How can a management freely admit to Judge Grazin that they never responded to my reports.
Number 3: Supposedly not following a procedure for reporting a partially defective warning horn is never mentioned. Yet in my so called employment tribunal, the "near miss report", was never according to TPE the main reason for my dismissal.
If Judge Grazin had taken that employment tribunal, I believe it would have been a totally different result.
YOU CANNOT IGNORE A PERSON OVER 6 YEARS AND NOT EXPECT THAT SOMEWHERE DURING THIS PERIOD NOT TO RECEIVE A BACKLASH, YOU CREATED THIS RESPONSE.
IT WAS A RESPONSE THAT COULD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BACK IN 2004, YET ONCE AGAIN, YOU TOTALLY IGNORED DOCTOR PEARLMAN'S FINDINGS, HER SOLUTION WAS DIALOGUE.
27/7/13: I have added an update to the section, "Sunday 7th July".
Regarding the witness statements of Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson and Head of Operational Safety Paul Watson, questions have to be asked (and believe me are now being brought to question) how can these two statements totally contradict each other?
What this means is obvious, one of these statements is a pack of LIES, there are no prizes for picking the right one.
FORESEEABLE: Through a thorough Risk Assessment.
PREVENTABLE: From the findings of such a thorough Risk Assessment.

22/7/13: Two pages/area's getting immense hits are, "Sunday 7th July", and all the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)". There is absolutely nothing that TPE can do about these sections, because everything stated is the TRUTH.
By allowing trains to run with partial and complete failures of the warning horn, YOU put peoples lives at risk. YOU cannot dispute the evidence in the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)".
If YOU believe this evidence is fabricated or I have "distorted" the truth, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
16/7/13: 34 years to the day (July 16th 1979) I started as a traction trainee at York. The instructor was a man called Ray Preston.
14/7/13: New sections will be added soon. Regarding the events of "Sunday 7th July", I have added a section highlighting what happened. It was a clear attempt to try and discredit me.
8/7/13: I would like to make an apology to Charlotte Mayne, Stephen Percival and Andrew Steele for remarks made which upset them, I was probably too blinkered in my approach to this website to realise they had the potential to cause you distress. They were not designed with my intention to cause distress, however, I have now removed your pictures and articles that caused you this distress, I have always pointed out on the home page, that if anyone has a problem with something on this site to contact me. I have also removed other articles that possibly had the potential to cause distress. If I have overlooked anything then please inform me and I will remove it.
However, the above does not detract from the TRUTH AND THE LIES, I have asked questions which you are simply frightened to answer. As individuals, you know what part you played in this conspiracy.
This is the reason why I will continue in my quest for justice, because I know and I am sure you have the intelligence to realise that one day the right person will listen, maybe sooner rather that later!
6/7/13: Just added a new section titled, "Disciplinary Hearing Outcome Letter". This letter is the utmost proof of how Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson LIED AND TWISTED anything he could to make me look as bad as possible.
Quite simply, if I was guilty of all charges, absolutely bang to rights, would TPE Management have had to go through all these LIE'S, had a lengthy appeal hearing and used a solicitor against me before my hearing and appeal at great cost? The answer is plain and simple - NO.
This new section is an attempt to help Mark Atkinson come to terms with basic common sense we all know as LOGIC. (Extract from this section below).
Lets just use a simplified procedure to help Mark Atkinson try and understand basic logic.
The following is a procedure for "flushing a toilet":- "After using this toilet you must flush immediately, failure to flush will result in a £100 fine".
On this day in question I decide that I need the toilet, I walk inside and realise that I don't need to use it anymore, so I leave the toilet.
So Mark Atkinson, Should I be fined £100 for not flushing the toilet?
Procedure states, "After using the toilet".
Did I actually use this toilet? The answer is NO.
Therefore do I need to follow the procedure and, "flush immediately"? The answer is NO.
Why is the answer NO? Because out of the two options I had, USE/NOT USE, I decided NOT TO USE the toilet.
The £100 fine is only payable if you use the toilet and don't flush it.
SO MARK ATKINSON, CAN YOU FOLLOW THE REASONING ABOVE, IS IT MADE SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
DID THE USE OF THE TOILET ACTUALLY HAPPEN?
DID I NEED TO FLUSH?
SHOULD I BE FINED £100?
JUST TO HELP YOU ONCE AGAIN, THE ANSWER TO ALL THE ABOVE IS NO.
Lets try another procedure using the exact same LOGIC:
The following is a procedure for reporting a "near miss". "If as a train driver you are involved in a near miss incident, you must report this incident immediately to the controlling signaller".
On this day in question, I drive a train from Newcastle to York and during the journey I do not have a near miss.
So Mark Atkinson, should I be charged with gross misconduct for not reporting a near miss?
Procedure states, "if you are involved in a near miss incident".
Did I actually have a "near miss incident"? THE ANSWER IS NO.
Therefore do I need to follow the procedure and, "report this incident immediately to the controlling signaller"? THE ANSWER IS NO.
WHY IS THE ANSWER NO? Because was there an actual near miss incident, YES/NO, NO THERE WASN'T.
Therefore should gross misconduct apply for an event THAT NEVER HAPPENED? LOGICALLY THE ANSWER HAS TO BE NO. UNFORTUNATELY IN YOUR MIND THE ANSWER WAS YES!
SO MARK ATKINSON CAN YOU SEE THE COMMON LOGIC APPLIED, CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?
DID A NEAR MISS INCIDENT ACTUALLY HAPPEN?
DO I HAVE TO REPORT AN EVENT THAT NEVER HAPPENS?
SHOULD I REPORT AN EVENT THAT NEVER HAPPENED?
SHOULD I BE CHARGED WITH GROSS MISCONDUCT FOR NOT USING A SO CALLED PROCEDURE FOR AN EVENT THAT NEVER HAPPENED?
JUST TO HELP YOU ONCE AGAIN, THE ANSWER TO ALL THE ABOVE IS OBVIOUSLY NO.
DO YOU STILL STAND BY YOUR FINDINGS THAT I FAILED TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING A NEAR MISS?
By allowing trains to run with partial and complete failures of the warning horn, YOU put peoples lives at risk. YOU cannot dispute the evidence in the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)".
If YOU believe this evidence is fabricated or I have "distorted" the truth, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
16/7/13: 34 years to the day (July 16th 1979) I started as a traction trainee at York. The instructor was a man called Ray Preston.

DO YOU STILL STAND BY YOUR FINDINGS THAT I FAILED TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING A NEAR MISS?
3/7/13: New section titled, "Analysis of Paul Watson's Witness Statement (No 34)", it is the utmost proof that no matter what representations I made, I was being dismissed regardless.
Paul Watson knew my charges should not have been gross misconduct and that how Mark Atkinson evaluated them was wrong, yet all he could say was, "I’ve decided to uphold the original decision", even though this decision was badly flawed and decided on the wrong set of facts.
I am still left speechless when I look back through the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)", I cannot comprehend how I could be dismissed, when you can see the documented evidence on the appalling state of these warning horns and the facts that show TPE Management and Siemens blatantly IGNORED the rule book and their own contingency plans to run these trains despite knowing for 3 years how these horns were malfunctioning in cold conditions.
No trains were taken out of service with a partial failure of the warning horn.
No trains were removed from service that clearly had a complete failure of the warning horn.
Trains remained in service for days with these failures before being looked at on a depot.
At the depots, the same wording, "no fault found" was still being used despite no longer being acceptable.
Trains entered service with partial and complete warning horn failures from maintenance depots.
Drivers were not informed to run at 20mph for a complete failure of the warning horn, I should know because I was one of them, instead they were only informed to trip the warning horn mcb!
With all the above, TPE Management IGNORED the rule book and their own contingency plans.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, NOBODY CAN SAY I AM A LIAR, JUST READ THE SECTIONS, "WARNING HORNS (THE SHOCKING TRUTH)".
WHAT HAS ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON & HEAD OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY GOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS EVIDENCE? Bearing in mind, the only way they can keep face is by denouncing my evidence as being fabricated, something we all know is an impossibility. SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THESE INDIVIDUALS?
WHAT ESPECIALLY HAS ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON GOT TO SAY ABOUT THE ABOVE BEARING IN MIND HIS STATEMENT, "The unit stayed in service was putting the safety of staff on the railway at risk”.
Mark Atkinson, you really have nowhere to hide, your contradictory statements (LIE'S) that you used as a weapon to hoodwink Judge Burton against me are coming back to haunt you big time, everyone can see what a LIAR you are.
2/7/13: New section added, "Paul Watson v Mark Atkinson", a small piece that highlights the contradictory evidence in relation to what they think should have happened.
1/7/13: Take a good look at the following 4 statements made by a Senior Manager, namely Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson. These are his serious concerns regarding a partially defective warning horn back in 2009 - 2010. With such serious concerns and being in the position of a Senior Manager you would surely expect him to do something about this, after all the potential risk of such an occurrence happening is clearly DEATH.
"The train remained in service, when it should have been removed".
"The unit stayed in service was putting the safety of staff on the railway at risk”.
"as there is always the possibility that the other horn would fail".
"and that as a result of this action the train had stayed in service which was a risk to those on or about the railway infrastructure".
THE VERY FACT THAT ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON OR HEAD OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY PAUL WATSON HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE ABOVE FOUR ASSUMPTIONS IS ASTOUNDING, I SUPPOSEDLY RAN A TRAIN WITH A PARTIAL FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN WHEN THIS TRAIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS PUTTING STAFF ON THE RAILWAY AT RISK, YET NO OTHER TRAINS WITH A PARTIAL FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN WERE REMOVED FROM TRAFFIC AND AS I HAVE PROVED TPE RAN MANY TRAINS IN SERVICE WITH A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN!
YET I RECEIVED A CHARGE OF GROSS MISCONDUCT! IS THERE ANY WONDER I FEEL HARD DONE TOO? CAN YOU SEE WHY I WILL NEVER GIVE UP IN MY PURSUIT FOR JUSTICE.

30/6/13: The following is one example of numerous LIE'S from Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson, as usual it is from his own mouth.
HEARING: MA 206: “Hang on a minute, if your so concerned about the train having faults on it, at the point when you arrived in York, that is the time and place to make sure the train doesn't go any further”.
WITNESS STATEMENT: 29. I asserted during the hearing that if Mr Webb was as concerned about the horn defects as he alleged he was, then prior to arriving in York he should have reported the matter immediately and made sure the train did not go any further. In response to this, he admitted that he did not report the matter at the first available opportunity.
WITNESS STATEMENT: 37. "In relation to charge one, I found that it had been proven that he had failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn as he had not done so as soon as the matter arose and that as a result of this action the train had stayed in service which was a risk to those on or about the railway infrastructure".
Three statements about the same issue, Three different answers! You wouldn't believe that this is all over a partial failure of the warning horn! Straight away anyone with any rules or TPE contingency plans knowledge can see the BLATANT LIE'S.
For a partial failure of the warning horn would any of the above statements be true? NO THEY WOULDN'T BE, WHAT A COMPULSIVE LIAR YOU ARE, A MAN IN YOUR POSITION AS A ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER WHO LIE'S TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
All the way to an Employment Tribunal and Mark Atkinson cannot state what type of warning horn failure I had that morning, he can only state a "defective warning horn". Is there any wonder with all the documented LIE'S, deceit and clear conspiracy against me why I WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
30/6/13: I have also added a new section titled, "How TPE LIE'S worked", it basically sums up my fate at the employment tribunal and shows how the LIE'S of Mark Atkinson and Paul Watson clearly bamboozled Judge Burton and clouded his judgement in making him believe that I should have treated the rules how they perceived them which I have shown with evidence is WRONG.
30/6/13: A new section titled "Equity & Charges" has been added. It proves that the TPE used gross misconduct to suit themselves, in my case it was out of sheer hatred, because I made them look stupid regarding safety and this was the only way they could shut me up. Yet as this website shows with serious allegations about these individuals, safety was IGNORED time and time again, not words I use loosely because I always provide evidence to back up what I say. I have much more information to display, some equally as shocking as what is already displayed.
30/6/13: Also added a new section titled, "E - Petition".
25/6/13: The easiest way for you all to put an end to this website is by answering the questions, prove me a liar, totally discredit me. Yet that for you would be mission impossible because I have proven you are all liars, proven you ignored safety at the highest level and still do today. Proven that IGNORANCE was your weapon of choice. The answers to those very questions are all that is required, it really is that simple!
Hard hitting words! Yet there is absolutely nothing that you can do about this website, if any of this website is untrue then take me on for being libelous, your inaction is the only proof anyone needs to know that the TRUTH HURTS.
25/6/13: I have had a slight re-shuffle to make the navigation of this website a little easier. I still find it hard to believe that TPE Management had to engage the use of solicitor before my hearing and appeal to help them dismiss me. A PREMEDITATED AUDACIOUS ACT OF INSOLENCE and all because they couldn't answer my reports on health & safety issues. Remember below?
"NO RESPONSE OR COMMENTS PROVIDED TO THE CLAIMANT BY THE RESPONDENT".
22/6/13: My own proposals to change the rule book for a partial failure of the warning horn especially in light of Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson stating, "as there is always the possibility that the other horn could fail", can be found at the bottom of the section titled, "CHANGES REQUIRED NOW!".
Lets face it, you all dug yourselves a hole which got deeper every time you opened your mouths, because you lost your perception to the reality of the situation you had caused, you fell over each other trying to deliver the fatal blow, each time making mistakes and in trying to get out of that mistake, you opened up the proverbial "can of worms", these worms have now multiplied beyond belief, there is no way back! YOU CAN SAVE THE SITUATION EVEN NOW, SIMPLY BY TELLING THE TRUTH, IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE. But at this stage, it will take a real man to admit the part they played in this conspiracy. I believe that the first person to speak out will save themselves! Lets face it would you like your life and family destroyed? Because that is what you did to me and that is why I will never give up in my quest for justice.
20/6/13: New section added, "YOUR CONCERNS & THOUGHTS". I have only added 4 at the moment, but believe me there are many more to be added when the time is right!
19/6/13: I received a reply yesterday to my "OPEN QUESTION", the reply can be found at the bottom of that very page.
18/6/13: Look at the questions in the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)", the safety implications are hitting you in the face, you allowed this to happen through your IGNORANCE and spite towards me, if this was the military you would have been court marshaled, yet because you are your own bosses, you do as you please, EVEN COMPROMISING SAFETY to save your faces. If what is shown in those sections is untrue, a complete set of fabricated pages, then do something about it, because the IGNORANCE displayed towards those incidents is as high as it can get before someone is injured or killed. You are all quite simply a DISGRACE.

You are all quite simply a DISGRACE.
17/6/13: All that is required to answer my allegations on this site is ask the relevant managers to answer the questions that I have written, you will then find out what a complete bunch of liars they are. It will also prove that they have no respect for safety, supposedly a First Group value. They are very straight forward questions, there is no trickery, there is also no hiding from the TRUTH!
The TRUTH however is what damages any reputation they have or had, one question like, "if a driver failed to report a partially defective warning horn, will this be a mandatory gross misconduct charge", is a simple enough question to answer, everyone and anyone on the railway knows the answer, yet I will guarantee that Mark Atkinson, Barry Cook and Paul Watson would struggle to answer this question truthfully.
16/6/13: The sections "CHANGES REQUIRED NOW" and "OPEN QUESTION" are the proof that the charges against me should never have been gross misconduct. I OPENLY CHALLENGE ANYONE NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE TO SHOW ME HOW THESE CHARGES COULD POSSIBLY BE GROSS MISCONDUCT AND THAT TPE CONTINGENCY PLANS AND THE RULE BOOK BY ALLOWING A TRAIN TO RUN WITH A PARTIALLY DEFECTIVE WARNING HORN IS SAFE.
There is one certainty, Paul Watson & Mark Atkinson cannot and will not answer, because they know that everything I have stated on this website is the TRUTH. The questions that I have asked them must be a huge embarrassment, all they have to do is answer, their problem is that they are in way too deep and by answering these questions truthfully they implicate themselves.
Just think, by answering these questions that anyone with some railway knowledge could answer, you have the opportunity to totally discredit me, you could stop this website, but you have a major problem and you know it! How can you substantiate your actions to the world when I have evidence to back up EVERYTHING I display on this website? You are implicated by your own action`s and words that I have shown to be LIES, I can sleep at night, the only nightmare that I think about is someone being injured or killed through your negligence.
13/6/13: To Paul Watson & Mark Atkinson, when are you going to make changes to TPE contingency plans and recommendations to change the rule book wording when dealing with a partial failure of the warning horn? If you cannot see the DANGER`S god help the railway. Further information can be found in the new section titled, "CHANGES REQUIRED NOW".
12/6/13: I have added a new section titled, "OPEN QUESTION", this is for any Driver Manager, past or present and regardless of which company they work for as everyone on the railway should work to the same railway industry rule book.
The TRUTH however is what damages any reputation they have or had, one question like, "if a driver failed to report a partially defective warning horn, will this be a mandatory gross misconduct charge", is a simple enough question to answer, everyone and anyone on the railway knows the answer, yet I will guarantee that Mark Atkinson, Barry Cook and Paul Watson would struggle to answer this question truthfully.

12/6/13: I have added a new section titled, "OPEN QUESTION", this is for any Driver Manager, past or present and regardless of which company they work for as everyone on the railway should work to the same railway industry rule book.
10/6/13: "QUESTIONS FOR PAUL WATSON" HAVE JUST BEEN ADDED, THEY WILL BE UPDATED LIKE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE, ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I CHALLENGE YOU PAUL WATSON HEAD OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND DISPLAY YOUR ANSWERS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR ALL TO SEE.
8/6/13: Further proof of the BLATANT LIES of ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON can be found in a new section titled, "Further evidence of Mark Atkinson`s LIES", WITH A MESSAGE FOR ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON AT THE END OF THE SECTION.
8/6/13: Some basic facts:
1. The charges could not have possibly originated from the investigation report.
2. Mark Atkinson manipulates the charges to the worst possible scenario situation for me (complete failure of warning horn).
3. Mark Atkinson`s disciplinary hearing outcome letter treats the situation as a (partial failure of the warning horn).
4. Therefore he dismissed me on the wrong set of facts.
5. Mark Atkinson then changes back to a (complete failure of the warning horn) in his witness statement.
6. Therefore Mark Atkinson BLATANTLY LIED in his witness statement, which is PERJURY.
7. Mark Atkinson`s LIES can be seen in his witness statement and in the section titled, "MARK ATKINSON`S LIES".
8. Why would they cut and paste the minutes from Ged Higgins interview and then keep back 5 pages if they have nothing to hide?

MARK ATKINSON WITNESS STATEMENT EXTRACTS:
8.1 “on Wednesday 14 January you failed to follow the correct procedure for reporting a defective warning horn”;
1. “You didn`t stop and report it at the controlling signaller”.
Where in the disciplinary hearing outcome letter does it mention, “You didn`t stop and report it at the controlling signaller”? FURTHER EVIDENCE OF WHAT A BLATANT LIAR THIS MAN IS AND FURTHER PROOF OF ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ANYTHING STICK.
3. “At no point did you reduce the train speed”.
Where in the disciplinary hearing outcome letter does it mention, “At no point did you reduce the train speed”. YOU HONESTLY COULDN'T`T MAKE UP THIS MAN`S ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT ME, LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AND ALL WITH DOCUMENTED PROOF.
THE DISCIPLINARY OUTCOME LETTER IS IN THE SECTION TITLED, "DISCREPANCIES WITH CHARGE 1".
5/6/13: I would like to suggest that someone speaks with me, I have already explained that I will meet you anywhere. I know there has been a massive amount of interest in this website this week, I have had more hits in the last 3 days than ever before.
Contact me via: [email protected] .
I have so many questions still to ask these 9 individuals, there is absolutely no hiding from the fact that this site highlights one of the biggest stitch ups of all time, the LIES, deliberate procedural mistakes and IGNORANCE are made abundantly clear. If my questions are asked by someone who understands the railway, these individuals have nowhere to hide, every single section on this website is a huge embarrassment for TransPennine Express but more importantly First Group. Through the help I am now receiving, this site will continue to grow, it is already being touted in the right direction and spoke about in the right circles, it will eventually land in the right person`s lap. THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
SHOULD THERE BE AN INCIDENT INVOLVING INJURY OR DEATH, YOU ALL KNOW YOUR FATE.
3/6/13: I have it on good authority that my questions are causing a lot of discomfort. Hardly surprising when a couple of truthful answers would immediately vindicate me. I have been told that the following is really making Route Driver Mark Atkinson squirm.
Mark Atkinson asked me the following question,"Could you control the situation? If you were the driver and your horn is partially defective, fully defective, is it controllable? Safely? Is that situation controllable in a safe manner”? And then he asked me why, "I didn`t restrict my speed". Did I not fully explain to him on numerous occasions that it was only a partial failure of the warning horn? Do rules tell me to restrict my speed?

Mark Atkinson asked me the following question,"Could you control the situation? If you were the driver and your horn is partially defective, fully defective, is it controllable? Safely? Is that situation controllable in a safe manner”? And then he asked me why, "I didn`t restrict my speed". Did I not fully explain to him on numerous occasions that it was only a partial failure of the warning horn? Do rules tell me to restrict my speed?
Then Mark Atkinson asked, “If it was really unsafe, you thought you would have done, wouldn`t you”? Imagine if I had restricted my speed for a partial failure of the warning horn? I would have faced charges for deliberately slowing the train and going against the rule book and TPE contingency plans.
I am going to show the scenario situation again for anyone reading this to judge for themselves. Bearing in mind that what I thought would make no difference whatsoever to whether these trains ran or not, TPE contingency plans prove this, the 3 previous years up to 2009 prove this along with the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)".
THESE ARE THE THOUGHTS OF ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON on a partially defective warning horn and what could happen, "185 trains have two tones on their horns. If there is a partial failure, i.e. one of the horn tones fails but the other remains working, then the procedure for Drivers is to report the issue at the soonest convenience AS THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE OTHER HORN WOULD FAIL".

DIG YOURSELF A HOLE MARK ATKINSON! “There is always the possibility that the other horn would fail".
What is the "soonest" convenience?
Lets also remember that TPE contingency plans for a partial failure of a warning horn allow any train to run without restrictions to its speed and remain in service until its booked diagrammed work has ended.
So what happens when we encounter this scenario? It is a cold damp day, you already have a partial failure of the warning horn, you are travelling at 100mph because your contingency plans in conjunction with the rule book allow this, when you encounter an area of bends and bridges, as you travel round one of these bends you see in front of you approximately 1000 feet away a group of track workers (this could be young children or anyone), you immediately push your warning horn upwards, YOU GET NO RESPONSE!
Remembering at this speed you are travelling at 150 feet per second, (approximately 7 seconds to impact). If you don`t actually freeze through the shock, (150 feet per second), you then push the lever downwards, (150 feet per second), NOTHING HAPPENS! Would or should anyone have to go through this sort of event? WHAT NEXT, spare a thought for the driver, the emergency service personnel, the police and the relatives and friends of the deceased, and all because a group of managers were IGNORANT!
One simple question, could the above scenario become reality? Surely even you Mark Atkinson cannot LIE in the face of this evidence after all, “THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE OTHER HORN WOULD FAIL".
In the above scenario, that is exactly what happened, THE OTHER HORN FAILED! It is a scenario situation like the "near miss" that never occurred, it is screaming you in the face, saying THIS IS DANGEROUS, THIS IS WHAT COULD HAPPEN, yet you failed to see that the near miss situation was a distinct possibility.
IS IT PLAIN IGNORANCE OR A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE?
SO WHO REALLY PUTS THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE ON THE RAILWAY IN DANGER?
SO IF IT REALLY IS UNSAFE, WHY DIDN`T YOU DO ANYTHING TO TRY AND STOP THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING?
THERE IS NO WONDER YOU SQUIRM, YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE.
SURELY EVEN YOU MUST REALISE THAT ANY FUTURE INCIDENT REGARDING A WARNING HORN FAILURE OF ANY TYPE WHICH RESULTS IN INJURY OR DEATH COMES BACK ON YOU, IT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE A TPE SERVICE THAT IS INVOLVED, IT IS ANY SERVICE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE RULE BOOK AND TPE CONTINGENCY PLANS NEED AMENDING REGARDING A PARTIAL FAILURE OF THE WARNING HORN, YET IT SHOULDN`T BE FOR ME TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU, WHEN BASIC COMMON SENSE AT EVALUATING THE ABOVE SCENARIO SHOULD BRING YOU TO THE VERY SAME CONCLUSION.
IT SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOU TO THIS CONCLUSION 4 YEARS AGO!
What is the "soonest" convenience?

30/5/13: "Questions for Mark Atkinson", have just been added and started with more questions being added on a daily basis.
29/5/13: Just added a section titled, "Questions for Stephen Percival", like I have told him, if he behaved in the correct manner, what does he have to lose in answering these questions? There are no trick questions, they are very straightforward if you understand the rule book and TPE procedures and of course if you tell the TRUTH. That is why I have requested that he let the readers of this site judge his answers. But the reality is, once you LIE there is no way back, so that is why STEPHEN PERCIVAL will not answer these questions.
28/5/13: Just below this section I have added a new section, titled, "MESSAGE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FIRST GROUP", this was on advice from a lady who emailed me today.
26/5/13: To Mark Atkinson & Paul Watson if you think you are both right and have nothing whatsoever to hide or fear, answer the questions for the sections, "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)". In fact you should be investigated and given all the questions that I put on this website. Your problems are, you cannot answer these questions truthfully because if you do it fully vindicates me and with my evidence to back up my allegations it will prove what LIARS you both are.
The main section that I would above all others ask every single one of you except Charlotte Mayne & Vernon Barker (through lack of knowledge) to answer, will be the questions posed in "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth) Page 3", I will even post your answers for the whole world to see, it is one way to prove your innocence to my allegations. I URGE Barry Cook, Paul Watson, Mark Atkinson, Peter Turpin, Stephen Percival, Andrew Steele & Ged Higgins to TAKE THIS CHALLENGE, in fact ANY driver manager at TPE.
I would like to ask the Board of Directors to ask each of these individuals to answer these questions, yet I can tell you right now, that there isn`t one of them that could answer these questions without damaging what credibility they think they have. If you don`t believe me, then ask them for answers. THEY ARE ALL HABITUAL LIARS WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEIR OWN PROCEDURES AND EQUITY.
The same goes to the rest of these individuals, read the respective questions (when all completed) and then see if you can answer them without being a LIAR.
SO WHAT HAVE YOU ALL GOT TO HIDE OR FEAR, I AM MAKING SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS ABOUT EACH ONE OF YOU, I AM MAKING ALLEGATIONS THAT YOU IGNORED SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED REPORTS AND INCIDENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED EVEN IF IT WAS SOLELY FOR MAKING SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN.
I HONESTLY DON`T KNOW MANY PEOPLE THAT WOULD SIT BACK AND KEEP QUIET IF THEY HAD THESE ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST THEM, I DEFINITELY WOULDN`T TAKE ANY SORT OF CRITICISM, IF I BELIEVED THAT I WAS RIGHT, I WOULD IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGE THE ACCUSER, SO WHY DON`T YOU?
I DON`T NEED TO ANSWER THAT DO I, YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 YEARS OF THIS WEBSITE AND IT IS NOT GOING AWAY!
ANOTHER REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT ROUTE DRIVER MANAGER MARK ATKINSON DOESN`T UNDERSTAND THE RULE BOOK OR TPE CONTINGENCY PLANS! MY EVIDENCE IS PROOF OF THIS STATEMENT, A DRIVER WOULD FAIL THEIR RULES FOR THIS, YET THIS INDIVIDUAL IS LEFT IN CHARGE OF A NETWORK OF DRIVER`S?
MARK ATKINSON PLEASE CALL ME A LIAR FOR ONCE. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN`T CALL ME A LIAR, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PROOF, UNLIKE MYSELF, MY PROOF IS ALL OVER THIS WEBSITE ABOUT YOU BEING A LIAR.
24/5/13: To each relevant section on this website I am adding alongside a section that is titled "QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS".
23/5/13: I wonder what the shareholders of First Group would/must think about the amount of money lost/spent on litigation by the actions of Barry Cook, Paul Watson & Mark Atkinson to find ways (like the use of a solicitor against me before my hearing & appeal) to dismiss employees for minor transgressions. Added to this is the breakdown in communication this causes along with the time off individuals take through STRESS and simply sick days and the constant referrals to the BUPA doctor and even psychiatrists. I wouldn`t like to guess what this bill amounts to.
Yet this cost is completely avoidable, proper TRAINING and DIALOGUE is all that is required and of course STOP THE IGNORANCE, this money could have been invested into a proper training programme, not a piece of paper or a booklet to read. TRAINING is EDUCATION, EDUCATION is KNOWLEDGE, the more KNOWLEDGE the SAFER our railway becomes.
TPE didn`t even have a system in place whereby they knew how many safety briefs a driver had, it was a chaotic shambles, (of course there is proof of this statement on this website). They readily admitted that I had 2 SAFETY BRIEFS in 5 years!!!! YES ONLY 2, the reality was that I actually had 3! Does the CULLEN REPORT spring to mind?
Let me ask the supposed HEAD OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY, PAUL WATSON, Is 3 SAFETY BRIEFS in 5 years ACCEPTABLE? Because you allow this, its not only me that this happened to, read the email comments of other drivers that are posted on this site. The description "chaotic shambles" is a sad reflection on your ability to manage safety. Like all the other safety deficiencies that are highlighted throughout this site and all with proof to back up what I say.
How much longer will this be allowed to continue? I understand that you need control and restraint within a company, but not as a weapon in the guise of bullying. There simply is no need for this unwarranted behaviour. EDUCATION is the only way forward, misdemeanors are only caused by the ill discipline of this TransPennine driver management, dismissals for incidents and supposed procedural deficiencies are a bi-product of how this management manage. This results in extremely low morale and above all distrust, which in an industry where SAFETY is paramount is quite simply a recipe for DISASTER.
How far can this type of behavioural control be allowed to progress? This behaviour intrudes into the lives of people and causes nothing but misery.
WITH THE INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THIS WEBSITE DISPLAYS AND FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY AND THE RAIL INDUSTRY, THIS BEHAVIOUR MUST BE STOPPED NOW, OTHERWISE, STAND UP AND CHALLENGE MY ALLEGATIONS. REMEMBER - IT IS FAR TOO LATE AFTER THE EVENT!
THE LAST THING I EVER WANT TO SAY IS, "I TOLD YOU SO", I REALLY HOPE THIS NEVER HAPPENS. REMEMBER YOU HAVE ALREADY COME SO CLOSE TO DISASTER, ONLY LUCK SAVED THE DAY, DID YOU LEARN ANY LESSONS FROM THE "SUMMIT TUNNEL ACCIDENT", DID YOU PUT IN PLACE ANY CONTINGENCY PLANS TO STOP THIS EVER HAPPENING AGAIN?
IF YOU HAD LISTENED TO ME, THAT ACCIDENT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, BUT SADLY YOU AND THE REST OF YOUR MANAGEMENT NEVER LISTENED TO ANYTHING, IGNORANCE IS BLISS!
21/5/13: The following passage is a reminder of how I was singled out by TPE management, my evidence mentioned is indisputable. Whatever happened to EQUITY?
With this website absolutely full of evidence to show that other drivers behaved the same way or far worse than me regarding reporting procedures and that TPE and Siemens allowed trains to remain in service with Complete and partial failures of the warning horn for days. Trains actually went on to Siemens Depots with warning horn faults and came off the depot with the very same faults. Undisputable evidence of this is in the sections of "Warning Horns (the Shocking Truth)".
WHAT DID THE HEAD OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY, PAUL WATSON DO ABOUT THIS? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, BECAUSE EVEN WITH THE EVIDENCE STARING HIM IN THE FACE, HE CANNOT ADDRESS IT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD VINDICATE MY ARGUMENT. SO HE DOES THE SAME AS ALWAYS, HE IGNORES IT.
So why was I the only driver VICTIMISED by TPE Management. Or are you saying my evidence is false, after all it is from your repair books. On this evidence alone you have to ask the question, why only this driver, why only me?
Let me also make it clear, this is not intended to get any other driver in trouble, this is done to highlight the fact that TPE Driver Management were aware that drivers didn`t report warning horn failures because they were an every train, every journey, every day event in the right weather conditions, so much so that it became a standing joke (as some of the repair slips clearly show). This management kept quiet so there was no delays or cancellations. With the amount of reports and repair slips that are shown on this website, they cannot say they didn`t know. They freely admitted in 2009, "that since introduction", which was 2006 they had major problems with the warning horn not working in cold and damp weather conditions.
You also need to ask the question, what did any of these driver managers especially Paul Watson do about the allegations, evidence in the sections "Warning Horns (The Shocking Truth)"? I know you read this site. Did you put anything in place to try and stop this from happening again?
I know full well that you all did your usual trick, IGNORANCE.
THIS IS HOW TPE MANAGEMENT TREAT SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES, YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED, YOU ALL SERIOUSLY LACK THE KNOWLEDGE TO BE CALLED MANAGERS, YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR DEPTHS.
WITH THE EVIDENCE I PRESENTED YOU SHOULD HAVE QUESTIONED YOUR ROLES, THE ACTIONS OF SIEMENS AND WHY YOUR DRIVERS WERE EXTREMEMLY BLAZE`IN THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THIS.
THEN TOOK A LOOK AT THE RULE BOOK AND YOUR OWN CONTINGENCY PLANS BECAUSE NEITHER ARE WORDED CORRECTLY. BUT SADLY YOU CANNOT SEE THAT, YOUR BLINKERED WITH IGNORANCE.
IF THERE IS EVER NOW AN ISSUE WITH WARNING HORNS NO MATTER WHICH COMPANY IS INVOLVED AND SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED, YOU SHOULD AND WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. PAUL WATSON, YOU ESPECIALLY.
If what I say above isn`t true, don`t sit back and do nothing, CHALLENGE MY FINDINGS. Indeed I make that many serious allegations against all of you, if they are not true, CHALLENGE ME, because if someone used a website against me and called me a LIAR, and I knew it was untrue, do you think I would sit back and allow it to be on view for the whole world to read?
Barry Cook, Vernon Barker, Paul Watson, Charlotte Mayne, Mark Atkinson, Stephen Percival, Andrew Steele, Peter Turpin & Ged Higgins, I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, SHOW ME A LIE.
I HOWEVER HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED ABOUT AND NOTHING TO HIDE, THAT IS WHY THIS SITE IS STILL IN EXISTENCE, ITS BECAUSE OF THE INJUSTICE I HAVE HAD FORCED UPON ME THROUGH THE COLLUSION OF THE ABOVE INDIVIDUALS. ITS AN INJUSTICE THAT NONE OF YOU CAN WALK AWAY FROM, OR NOW THROUGH THIS WEBSITE HIDE FROM, "TRUTH HURTS".

20/5/13: There are 80 sections on this website and between them they all highlight IGNORANCE, COLLUSION, LIAR`S, DECEIT and DISHONEST INDIVIDUALS, that is why I will NEVER GIVE UP in my quest for JUSTICE, it is so BLATANT, that is why I always openly CHALLENGE any one of these 9 individuals to point out any part of this website that contains a lie from me. In fact I open this CHALLENGE up to ANYONE.
SAFETY IN NUMBERS, what happens when people become individuals? What happens if your necks are on the proverbial chopping block? What happens when the NUMBERS become just YOU?
There is absolutely no escape and nowhere to hide, how can anyone of these individuals substantiate their innocence against my allegations that are backed up with evidence, not only evidence but evidence that originates from TransPennine Express themselves. I haven`t created or fabricated any of this evidence, it is mostly from your own mouths.
20/5/13: Further information added to "Stephen Percival", basically how could my 3 charges have come from his 2 interviews with me, it is totally impossible, if you don`t speak about the train defects and what I did in reference to these defects, how can you possibly come up with those charges, it proves that everything was made up as they went along.
The lengths these individuals went to in their quest to dismiss me is not only unbelievable but utterly astounding, if you read and analyse these sections with an open mind, I have no doubt whatsoever that you will uncover a sinister trail of lie`s and deceit carried out by this TransPennine Express management.
18/5/13: The "LIE`S of Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson" are in a section next to the "Witness Statement of (LIAR) Mark Atkinson".
18/5/13: Mr O`Toole, I have added a few more paragraphs to my correspondence in the section, "For the attention of Mr Tim O`Toole".

All you need to know about BARRY COOK.
15/5/13: INFORMATION AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, SOLELY FOR MARK ATKINSON.
Perjury, By section 1(1) of the Perjury Act 1911, perjury is committed when:
a lawfully sworn witness or interpreter:..... Route Driver Manager Mark Atkinson
in judicial proceedings:..... Or an Employment Tribunal
wilfully makes a false statement:..... There can be no other possibility
false statements on oath made otherwise than in a judicial proceeding: s.2:..... Which he did
which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, and:..... He understands the rules!
which is material in the proceedings:..... LIES that cost me everything
The offence is triable only on indictment and carries a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment and/or a fine.
A conviction cannot be obtained solely on the evidence of a single witness as to the falsity of any statement. There must, by virtue of section 13 Perjury Act 1991, be some other evidence of the falsity of the statement, for example, a letter or account written by the defendant contradicting his sworn evidence is sufficient if supported by a single witness:..... Rule Book and TPE Contingency Plans, minutes from the hearing.
Perjury is regarded as "one of the most serious offences on the criminal calendar because it wholly undermines the whole basis of the administration of justice": Chapman J in R v Warne (1980) 2 Cr. App.R. (S) 42. It is regarded as serious whether it is committed in the context of a minor case, for example a car passenger who falsely states that the driver did not jump a red light as alleged, or a serious case, for example a false alibi witness in a bank robbery case:..... Or in my case the loss of everything, house, family, livelihood, sanity and my whole life.
In most cases, an offence of perjury will also amount to perverting the course of justice. If the perjury is the sole or principal act, then it will be normal to charge perjury. If the perjury is part of a much more significant series of acts aimed at perverting justice, then a charge of perverting the course of justice would be more appropriate:..... This is without doubt PERJURY, the LIES are there in the section of Mark Atkinson`s witness statement.

14/5/13: "Information Received (2)", has now been added along with "Information Received (2) (My Points of view)".
13/5/13: I Need a couple more things confirming before I post the latest information received, if First Group had a referendum about the worst performing company in its remit morale wise, then TPE must top the league, the amount of discontented staff who have been in touch with me is like an epidemic. FIRST GROUP BOARD, I HOPE THAT MAKES YOU PROUD, BECAUSE I KNOW AND YOU KNOW THE TRUTH. YOU ALSO KNOW THE REASON WHY, ANSWER:- (BARRY COOK) AND (MARK ATKINSON) ENDORSED BY (PAUL WATSON) ALLOWED BY NICK DONOVAN ACCOMPANIED BY MANY OTHERS.
The information will be in the section titled, "Information Received (2)".
10/5/13: When I started this website, the only thing I had in mind was me (for once) and a passion to try and highlight safety concerns that I felt could one day cause the loss of life, yet as the months progressed and the information I was receiving continued to come in, I realised that there was a far bigger picture. The amount of individuals that I knew and have been highlighted on my site represented only a minority to the actual amount of employees that have suffered at the hands of these individuals and TPE management in general.
I have so much information sent to me that I have still to verify and publish, but today 10th May 2013, I received yet more extremely relevant information so much so that I have asked my sources within TPE to verify the information for me. Hopefully I will get verification and be able to publish this early next week. First Group Board take notice.
Today 10th May 2013 this site at 20.15hrs has already passed 1800 hits, a new daily record!
22.00hrs 2280 hits!
8/5/13: It must be sickening when your friends are actually your enemy.
5/5/13: More added to "Charlotte Mayne (Pears)" and "Mark Atkinson". There is also so much more information still to come.
2/5/13.
"It is quite clear that bullying has become an institutionalised problem at the BBC, one that has taken hold over many years," said Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary for the NUJ.
So its not only TPE (First Group) that have this problem. Yet unlike the BBC who state the following:-
"Bullying and harassment policy will be reworked, with an emphasis on resolving issues informally".
"Complaints will be heard by a manager and an HR person from outside the division to ensure impartiality".
"The BBC will train a number of expert mediators from within the HR team and improve senior management training".
"Complaints will aim to be resolved within 30 days, with all parties made aware of the outcome".
TPE (First Group) continue with their unacceptable behaviour. Yet its only "unacceptable" because you allow it to be.
The information will be in the section titled, "Information Received (2)".

More and more of you are contacting me and supplying information, again please be patient if it is not displayed quickly, one reason could be verification, I always verify the information with certain contacts within TPE.
Everything posted on this site is the TRUTH, that is why I openly challenge anyone from TPE Management or First Group to say I am a liar.

6/4/13. The information mentioned below is now in the section titled, "INFORMATION RECEIVED". It can be found directly below this section. You honestly couldn't make this up.
Other information received will be used at a later date, I would like to thank you all and please keep this information coming.
Today, 3rd April 2013, I received some information from an anonymous source, over the next few days I will share this information with you, we all know the disgraceful attitude of TPE management towards safety and towards drivers, but for those of you who are still blinkered, please READ THIS REPORT.

Interest in this website is at an all time high , more and more of you are using the contact form found below on this page. Let me remind you all, you know what this management are like towards you, they are ruthless and faceless individuals who get immense pleasure at anybody's demise, do what your colleagues are doing and contact me with your information.
I have it on good authority that drivers based in Manchester are really fed up, so why not "air" your grievance anonymously through this site? Stand up to Atkinson, Watson & Cook. Because please remember this, you might end up on the receiving end of them one day. One of your colleagues has sent me information, YOU need to do the same.

Thank you to "Anonymous" for the Peter Turpin photo, would appreciate a Barry Cook and Stephen Percival photo from anyone if possible please.
Another new section just being added is called, "TPE Franchise", it is my message to the government why I believe First Group shouldn't be awarded any further extension's or indeed any franchise.
Hearing that a Sheffield driver has put a grievance in against Barry Cook for bullying, hardly a surprise, but that is their card marked, TPE management investigating TPE management, the driver has no chance.
Also ADDED, Ken Marriot and Andrew Crawford under other driver's issues section alongside Nigel Smith and Ian Foster.
Underneath the section on Nigel Smith you will find a section titled, "TPE Spad Strategy Booklet 2005 - 2010", in this section is the real cause of that SPAD, IGNORANCE. Followed by "Ian Foster"
"It is right that an organisation that holds the safety of the public in its hands on a daily basis has been held to account for its decision-making."? (Aimed at network Rail, but one day soon at TransPennine Express)
Another new section being added, "Same old sorry state of affairs".
Just adding a new section called, "TPE Management Behaviour", because this information although scattered around this site requires its own section. It
will take a few weeks to complete.
Working on the above section and it still amazes me that they can get away with blatant lie's. Just because I brought issues of health and safety into their domain and quite rightly so, TPE management made a decision to firstly IGNORE me and in doing so wait for my response, you could say that I walked into their trap.
Then pursue any issues no matter how small to charge me with gross misconduct, everyone knows that those charges did not warrant gross misconduct, in dismissing me, TPE sent a message to everyone else, quite simply it said, "don't mess with us", in doing this, they stopped train crew's from reporting issues that could affect the safe running of the railway, it put all health & safety reps in their back pocket.
Latest news given to me from a reliable source within TPE has explained the truth behind a certain managers downfall, getting it checked from another source before I report on it. but from what I have heard there are some spineless individuals out there, but then again, maybe that is unfair, because with a proverbial gun against your head, we would probably all act in the same way, the gun obviously being your job. If true, it implicates the chief bully.
Let me ask you Ged Higgin's, every statement you have made contradicts itself, your only keeping your job because they know that you are the weakest link, just think about this. I personally have nothing against you, I know you lied and you know you lied and so do many others, question is, what happens the day I finally succeed? because I will. The section "Ged Higgins" under "TPE Management Behaviour" proves what I say.
What then happens to each member of this group of 9"?
New page added titled: "Transport Secretary Norman Baker" and another being added titled, "A Selection of IGNORED Reports".
Mr Donovan, how does it feel reading this website? Does it make you feel proud? Are these individuals capable of managing? You could have done something about this, but obviously you cannot make a decision, how does it feel being a worthless puppet?
How do TPE management allow a Drivers medical competency to lapse?
A quick way of finding any of these vile individuals is by typing their name followed by tpe, example, type (Mark Atkinson tpe) into google search or google images.
Interesting to see that the Summit Tunnel Accident and Stalybridge Incident are taking many hits so far in February. Possibly from the interest a couple of MP's have shown in this site recently.
The sections on "Bullying Management", are also still red hot at the moment, is somebody at last taking notice of the behaviour from this rabble? After all, this is from original minutes, there is no hiding place. The attitude of both Mark Atkinson and Paul Watson is astounding, my original hearing was like a Nazi interrogation and then after 9 hours in an appeal this behaviour is upheld! These individuals behaved like this, this behaviour should not be allowed, yet the highest echelon's of First Group allow this, shame on you and always remember this, when the proverbial shit finally hits the fan, (which it will), I will be waiting with my evidence!
Let's not forget, the proverbial nearly hit the fan with the Summit Tunnel incident, only "LUCK" prevented what could have been multiple fatalities, let's not forget also, Summit Tunnel was 100% avoidable, just read my section on this.
Couple this with the behaviour of this Management as shown in the sections on "Bullying Management" and you have the reason why this incident happened, the reason is called IGNORANCE. How long before their "LUCK" runs out?
Certain other topics are also getting many hits, all these topics highlight the lie's of this group of 9, especially the cut and paste minutes from Driver Geoff Lee and Manager Ged Higgins statements. LIES and IGNORANCE is shown throughout this website, how can members of First Group Board live with this? How much was your solicitor's bill to enable you to get rid of me?
IT MUST MAKE YOU ALL SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU ALL LIABLE.
I know that Director's have been reading this site, you can still act before it's too late, this site would sound unbelievable if it was a story, yet everything is the truth, if you don't intervene then you are just like them, the choice is yours. I ask you to put yourself in my position, how would you feel?
Get First Group some credibility and investigate my claims in an open and honest way.
You have a major problem though, how can you investigate something that deep down you know is the truth. If there was anything on this site that was a fabrication I am quite sure you would let me know, so that only leaves the TRUTH, everything I say has documented proof to back it up. You have the opportunity to do the right thing, I am quite sure if this was investigated more than one of those 9 involved would open up with the truth, one or more will one day.
Please don't forget, you as individual members of this Board have to remember that you also have a responsibility for the safety of workers and members of the public. SAFETY was something I tried to sustain to the highest level, I took my responsibility seriously, yet this value cost me my job! The proof of which is this entire site.
You must surely realise that eventually this website will land in the right lap, I already have great interest from many people, one in particular that is helping me, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP THIS ESCALATING, IT IS, AT THE MOMENT IN YOUR HANDS.
To this group of 9: Is any of this site untrue? Why don't you do something about this site? The answer is because it is all the TRUTH and you daren't challenge any part of it.
This group of 9, should all be totally ashamed of their behaviour and attitude especially Mark Atkinson and Paul Watson, but in reality, because these individuals are all self made, they lack the intelligence to realise this and of course function in their roles, hence the reason why intimidation is their only tactic, very similar to the school bully mentality.
I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, my day will come, when it does, there will be nowhere to hide. Now lets all enjoy the cold winter ahead.
It must be awful for these individuals knowing that the Russian Roulette is constantly playing and we all know that it ends in DEATH. Then where does that leave YOU as an individual (because that is exactly what you will be, on your own) and of course all THOSE who could have actually done something to prevent this (you know who you are) remember, it is too late after the event.
How does it feel knowing that Summit Tunnel was avoidable? What did that cost? It could have been far worse with the loss of lives. Yet I saw this as a danger and more importantly told your management, who did the usual, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE. Clearly this IGNORANCE is running through the heart of this company.
To those 9 individuals concerned: No matter where you go, another train operator, out of the industry or even retired, I will never give up.
Please never forget, I will have my day of reckoning, time is on my side, the cracks are already appearing, I am sure that some of you have the intelligence to realise that the saying, "too many chefs spoil the broth", is pertinent in this case, like a den of thieves, when the proverbial shit hits the fan, your little mini empire will crumble and the truth will emerge.
SCENARIO:
A train approaches Scarborough and unfortunately the Driver has a SPAD.
What should happen next?
A: The Driver is taken off immediately, interviewed and med screened.
B: The Driver is asked to work another train and after working that train, is then taken off and med screened.
We all know that the answer and only possible outcome is A.
So why was this Driver allowed to work another train after his SPAD? (My answer will follow soon). Think about the implications involved in this disgraceful negligence.
Logic? Rules and so called regulations? Common sense? An Understanding of the situation?
This was a case of trains run no matter what, exactly the same as defective warning horns.
Letter from TPE Managing Director, Nick Donovan
_
The TRUTH REALLY HURTS, so lets hope he goes away and in the meantime we will all keep up with the TransPennine Express Management trait of IGNORANCE, after all, IGNORANCE is something we excel in and are the best in the world.
Mr Donovan, how can you possibly IGNORE this website? There are allegations of misconduct by your management in every section of this site. I have pointed out bullying at the highest level ranging from IGNORANCE and lack of respect in relation to openly speaking about individuals and their problems to sexual, racial discrimination and assault. YES, ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT BY YOUR MANAGEMENT.
The problem you have, is that everything I say has evidence to back it up, otherwise you (First Group) would have done something about this site by now, quite why you haven`t done anything makes you a part of this vile regime, like every dictatorship, you will fall apart eventually.
I have it on good authority that the "Your Voice" results have been published, yet apparently, York Depot is still waiting to see the results! I WONDER WHY?
MY MESSAGE TO THE BOARD OF FIRST GROUP HAS BEEN SENT. I AM STILL AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE EMAIL I RECEIVED BELOW, LETS SEE IF IGNORANCE REALLY IS A FIRST GROUP TRAIT.

A former Cleveland policeman who was "stitched up" by fellow officers and wrongfully jailed receives £800,000 in compensation.
This case goes back to 1996! My day will come.
A Personal Plea
To all TransPennine Express Drivers, I know the conditions that you all work under from time to time, I know that most of you confided in me during my time working at York.
This is your chance to have your say, this can be done in many ways, using your reports, grievances (which if like mine are totally ignored, which I will prove in a later report), or just speak to me. Too many decent individuals have been victimised. This can be done anonymously, email me at [email protected], or use the confidential reporting box below.
I have had a lot of response, but for those of you who keep quiet, when it is your turn, where will you go? There is no longer anyone like me around anymore, so who will listen? Your union, your work(mates?). You will end up like many before you, out of a job.

_There are individuals, organisations out there who know the truth, they know what went on behind the scenes, you are still in a position to help me, it may well be that you were unaware of just how far this conspiracy against me went, but keep reading this website and remember to stop this happening again, help me.
I would just like to say "thank you" to all those TPE employees who emailed me with information and support.
Do unions do underhand deals with companies?
Do unions agree with a company that an employee must be removed?
What happened to the details inside the so called BLUE BOOK, why was this book IGNORED?
Do I always produce evidence to back up everything I say?
Why would the then Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker take an interest and promise to help, only to then IGNORE my situation all together?
