As you shouldn't use your priv card for commuting on another TOC does anyone know if you can use it towards buying a annual pass instead

They get a bad press on here but I found them invaluable. Yes a lot of the information is already out there, but the more you've got the better in my opinion. There's one on the managers interview which I thought was brilliant, I am hopeless at interviews and it was a great revision tool for me...

Wouldn't bother with the course but I'd definitely recommend the DVD (there's one for the managers interview, too). You can probably get the same info online but they both helped me no end. Can get them both cheaper on eBay

Great post. The point I was trying to make is that there are other considerations for becoming a train driver. Qualities such as humility, enthusiasm and honesty are probably just as desirable as current or previous work experience (in my opinion anyway). You've hit the nail on the head...

All jokes aside; if you keep getting the knock-back then maybe it says more about you than it does the TOC? You seem very sure of yourself, maybe even over-qualified, perhaps this is the problem? Nice of you to pour scorn over those who got the job in 2010 too.
