Why apply in the first place? I’d suggest if it’s all about the money then it’s not for you!

It's not designed to be easy, it takes a lot of training and even more thinking about, you're being paid a lot of money so you need to put the work in. As others have said, ask for a new instructor and put this behind you and carry on. Don't be afraid of challenging your instructor, despite what...

The work hasn't even started yet, the first 12 months will blow your mind!!

Patience is a virtue, especially on the railway!

They haven't even started the interview process yet, so nobody is through to the medical stage. Be patient, things take time on the railway!

Take the leap and don't look back, there is a massive world outside those engine house doors! it's great and I don't know anyone who's had any regrets...........I certainly didn't!!

You know what they say about people who brag?! And why are you afraid??? Is it because you know you'll be found out?

Think you're in the wrong place then pal, you need to find yourself a poker forum or one for Walter Mittys!!

Mine too but you are misinformed in thinking that a trainees wage is 50% of a drivers salary, it isn't.

It's definitely not and if yours is you're on more than a regular trainee, if you're a driver then you're being underpaid and you need to look at your contract and get in touch with your rep!!

Nope.

I can't believe how much winging goes on! If it's not for you get out, if you don't like shifts get out, if you don't don't like it interfering with your social life get out! I stand by what I said previously, a reality check is needed and a stint at a job that is twice as hard and far, far...

Well let's all stop moaning and appreciate what we have! People seem to loose touch with reality and just how hard it is in the real world! These people need to spend 12 months outside the railway and away from the drivers desk and the comfort and warmth of the mess room, try digging holes in...

Good luck with that!
