Thanks all for the advice, I'll report back with any updates if I find something to improve matters!

I need glasses for distance vision, and have recently started as a trainee driver. I've noticed a lot of glare from signals when driving at night, worse than with traffic lights on the road. It's not unbearable or a safety issue, just sometimes a bit annoying. I was wondering if any drivers...

These days it's mostly Class 158s, like this:

You'd think so, but I think the plan is that most nights the units will be living up in Edinburgh or down in London.

I drove and parked at Grainger Town car park. £7 for the day and very tight ramps in and out. Not sure what the hotel car park is like.

Well, the research I did on here (especially this post) gave me a pretty good idea about what to expect from the tests, so read that if you haven't already. That put my mind at ease for the paper and computer based tests. In terms of nerves, I was mostly nervous about the MMI, but it was very...
