Considering the answers to the questions don't specifically have to be work related, I'd say you'll be fine using that as an example. I think it's to gauge whether you complete things that you've signed up to. I may have had that question myself (it was 4 years ago so I can't be sure!). I went...

I was at the end of my contract. Had I not been I'd have probably still said the same!!!

I left the RAF after 12 years to join as a driver. I only wish I'd done it sooner. I don't however, work for Northern but I know a lad that does who's ex RAF and he's loving it!

Congratulations!!! The hard work has clearly paid off. Best of luck, the hard work starts now. Enjoy!

Hey LM77! I had 5 months left of my RAF career when I applied. I wish I'd done it sooner! The process for me (at the time) took 11 months from start to finish. That did include 6 months in a talent pool though. Having done 12 years I had no return of service as I left downgraded. Genuine...

Yeah he is!

Not far off the mark. It’s £35188 and 5 weeks mentoring (or 20 days). 16 weeks training in total with 11 weeks at the training academy.

Hi Traindriver299! These are just some of the questions I was asked although it was over 2 years ago now. They should give you a rough idea. Can you give me an example of when you've had to prioritise? How did you do it? Can you tell me what you do when you take over a train? Why have you...

Hey Osh! I've no idea why you can't PM me when others have been successful. If you have any questions ref driving feel free to ask me here instead. You never know, others may benefit too.

I love being a depot driver. IMO it's the best job in the world! I was previously in the Royal Air Farce for 12 years and it's way better than that. Commuting-wise, I thought it would take its toll but it's absolutely fine. When I did my training at Derby, I spent 2 hours travelling one-way...

Hi! I currently live in Sleaford and travel to Nottingham where I work as a depot driver. I predominantly work nights although I try to mix my commute by travelling by train or car. I have a free car park pass and I get free train travel. It takes between 50-60 minutes to travel by car (48...

Any other females starting on 24th Nov???

Me too!!! Obviously I'm mega happy to have passed Stages 1&2 but at the same time I'm slightly disappointed to be put on a waiting list. I just hope I don't get forgotten about. Anyone else had any news (good or bad)? BTW I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm doing this right. Apologies if...
