I'm not entirely sure but at the managers interview it was mentioned that I would need to learn other routes such as through to Glasgow or over to Fife, guess ill just have to wait and see.

My depot will be Tweedbank (which hasn't been built yet), which will be at the end of the new Borders Railway on the rebuilt Waverly line.

I've not really posted much on the forum but log in daily and have found it invaluable in helping me through the assessments and interviews. So on the 20th May I will become a trainee train driver at FSR, it still doesn't seem real but I'm really looking forward to getting started. Thanks again...

Passed the medical and got my start date today :-)

It was for Tweedbank too.

Ah right, thanks. Mine was 6th Dec so should hear something in the new year hopefully.

Can I ask what date you both had your assessments? I'm still waiting on a date for an interview.

No idea whats happening although I was in Glasgow for the assessment on the 6th and just got word back earlier this week that I've passed. They said the interviews would be in December but times running out for that. Maybe they are struggling to get enough passes for holding the interviews.
