Had my ac1 in May on a Friday. Found out result 3 days later on a Monday. Attended ac2 two weeks later. Got results 10 days later. Got a training date for August. Reason being I delayed it due to personal commitment. Currently close to my road test. Yikes!! For all those who are waiting, FYI...

Brilliant mate. I'm half way through now. There's much more to driving a train than just pushing buttons lol. What part of the process are you at?

Reference and a basic CRB check

I've only just started (few weeks) and also my contract stated £23462 when i signed it (early august). Which salary will i get? Old or the new increased one?

Is the test that's taken on the Friday of 3rd week hard? How many tests in total? I'm kind of nervous now as I don't want to be jobless since obviously I'll be handing my resignation in to my current job!

Thank you!

Hi. Anyone who's already done the training can tell me what the salary is during full time training? Thanks!
