A new CSA roster for Liverpool Street Station

Thursday 28th of May 2009 – Thursday 18th of June 2009

A New Roster.

A new roster was proposed by BNS as part of a SATS review to better meet the business needs of both Liverpool Street and Aldgate stations. An integral part of this roster is the addition of 4 weeks with a concomitant increase in staff at Liverpool Street; because BNS do not require SATS over the weekend and arranged its schematics to fit business needs the additional four weeks were to be worked Monday through to Friday with no additional weekend shifts.
