Day 152 - 11 Jul 95 - Page 70
1 which is inconsistent with that. But, if that is so,
2 I think the sooner it is found the better, because I can
3 see a potential significance in, for instance, 10 per cent
4 on a payroll not working at all in a three month period
5 which might not be there if it was just a one week period,
6 which was the snapshot concern. I will not say any more
7 about it, but I merely say that to illustrate that it may
8 be of some importance to get it right.

10 MR. MORRIS: If it is any help, I cannot see how it can possibly
11 be weekly. It would have to be at least fortnightly
12 because on that basis they work the 96 hours chart.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It may be, but when we have categoric answers
15 like that one has to look and see if there is any other
16 evidence which contradicts it. It does not have to be done
17 within the next couple of days, but it has to be done so
18 that if either side wants a witness recalled or a new
19 witness called to elicit further evidence about it, there
20 is time to do it. That is my only point.

22 Cross-examined by the Defendants
23
24 MS. STEEL: I wanted to ask some questions about the schedule
25 that you drew up on the train yesterday?
26 A. Yes.
27
28 Q. This would be a typical -- I mean, I realise you have only
29 filled out one name, so it is not exactly typical -- but it
30 would be a typical schedule that would be put up on the, is
31 it put up on the notice board for crew to see so they know
32 what hours they have been scheduled for?
33 A. That is right, yes.
34
35 Q. And would you fill out the breaks so they knew how long a
36 break they were entitled to?
37 A. Yes, we would.
38
39 Q. Was that always done or was that just ----
40 A. Always.
41
42 Q. That was always done?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. Did you ever write "close" in the schedule rather than a
46 specific time?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. You did?
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. What would that indicate? Would that be close when the
53 store shut, or would that be close when the cleaning up had
54 finished?
55 A. No, that would indicate when the clearing up had
56 finished.
57
58 Q. One other thing which is, how do you tell which is a.m. and
59 which is p.m.?
60 A. I think, on some occasions, we did actually write a.m.
