I did see that. I get free travel on tfw, so it works out cheaper to go via tfw with my 2 mates and split 3 ways to crewe. Then priv for me to edinburgh and two tickets for them. I was going to try the direct, but less time on train using this route.

That's very handy, thank you

Hi all. Looking to travel from Cardiff to Edinburgh on 7th March. I've been keeping an eye on trainline for the cheaper advanced tickets, however they don't seem to be any. Even though it's less than 12 weeks. I Want yo use the 0753 tfw then 1109 avanti from crewe. Anyone have any...

What happens when that happens. Assuming it is driver error with no other reason for it.

The dmi dig I made was at the poster I quoted. I'm assuming he can do the job as he's now an instructor. I'll hold my hands up and admit my comments were out if order. Long and bad day in work and I wrote it in a bad mood. I've seen many people fail. My police training a few were given...

For someone who struggled to pass the dmi and found it hard, maybe you should be a little more supportive to those struggling. Not exactly sure what a chop ride is, but I'm guessing it's what the mighty think those who struggle should get and pushed out of their job. Maybe they should do...

Learn a bit about the company. Traction, investments plans etc. Maybe higher management to chuck a few names in. Research the role of train driver. Risks you think of, what the day looks like, colleagues within the rail industry. Then it's very much like mmi with scenarios, tell me a time...

Should imagine so. They just need some proof to satisfy the checks. Worst case scenario if you need the form from hmrc mine only took 5 days to come

I had to get a letter from HMRC. I had 3 months where I was redundant and between jobs. Didn't want a job in between as I already had one sorted. But they wanted the employment history letter from hmrc

No. It is literally one sentence. So I pulled a person from a burning vehicle in an emergency situation. Then they will ask all they need to know around that. You would answer in STAR format. They are good are probing you for more if needed.

I don't recall it being timed. But you flick through it quite quickly once you get in the swing of it. I know I finished quite a bit before others in the room, so if it's timed you get plenty of it. In all honesty I'd be surprised if anyone put the wrong answers on too many. Just keep in...

You do a situation test on pc. Supposedly it's not marked. But it's to gauge your attitude to risk. All pretty straightforward. You then do a mmi with someone. 6 questions which you usually write a short sentence about. Then they probe you on it in the STAR method

All very similar regardless of TOC. height weight eyes and hearing Eyes standard reading off the board Hearing in a both listening for tones Pee into a cup for drugs test Breath test for alcohol ECG

Depends on the toc I guess. Me and a few others I know where in the pool for about 2 weeks. And from applying to training will only be 5 months. But it is hit and miss as you'll see from reading these pages
