"I was focused on getting to the relief"

 Trimet supervisory reports


Operator George X Dead headed from Oregon city TC to Clackamas TC without dispatch or supervisor permission. Operator X arrived at Clackamas TC 20 minutes late, he skipped the garage layover and went straight to the relief point at the theater missing 8 or 9 passengers waiting at the garage stop. The relief operator had to go back to the layover to pickup the passengers, making her extra late... I spoke with X in dispatch and he stated that they gave him permission to CONTINUE, dead heading after he took it upon himself to due so.
Operator X stated he was 30 minutes late from doing the 34 route and requested to talk to dispatch. Dispatch did not respond so he waited at the freeway exit for permission to DH. He said that dispatch gave him permission to DH. His response for missing the garage stop was.... "I was focused on getting to the relief and spaced out".
