More than one though. To provide a meaningful service, even just peak hours Monday - Friday, each box will require two staff per day due to the length of day. In which case are they employed part-time just as signallers or full-time, and do they...

It was May Day weekend. First through services were meant to be Saturday 2nd May. [ATTACH] They're still in the damming and foundation installation phase by the looks of it.
