Hi just wondering if you remember what was asked in the mechanical comprehension tests?

Here is how my career within the railway has gone. At 18 I lost my job in a hotel as it was seasonal work. I applied with atw for a senior conductor role. I got to testing stage one. I passed but I had to sit an interview where it took them nearly 6 hours to decided if I was right. I was 18 and...

I do not know if it has been mentioned or if the area has been covered yet, but a closed station on the cambrian coast line is moat lane which connected from just outside caersws station and builth road. It is now a lorry yard

Thank you guy. Yesterday was my last day in my last job, have taken 10 days off between the two so I can get everything sorted. Im sure I will be seeing you soon, but enjoy the lovely box location for the time being.

Thats exactly what I did and I passed it so you are correct. Good luck

Just been informed my medical was all fine so thats good, even though I had no doubts about it, it is still a horrid time to wait. Lindsay King will be in touch soon. I have also sent to them my uniform and pps equipment forms so I get all that and all the other forms and confirmation of...

You can actually get every module of the rule book online to view, the website is www.rgsonline.co.uk/rule_book/forms/live_documents.aspx give them a try, although part of your training is the full rule book and if you are not already familiar with the railway rule book you may find it daunting...

Yay! People going on it at last! Im hoping another guy on here will be going too.

Thank you for correcting, best to have the right information.

Its a 4 day week on valleys and a 5 day week on main line. All I can say is im glad to be on 66 engines rather than a nodding donkey (142/143) and I like not having to worry about passengers. The only traction used on the valley network now are the 121 bubble car which spends most of the summer...

Is anyone else on here on this course? Starting 20th may ending 30th august? I still have my fingers crossed for two other members on here so at least one of them may get the opportunity to come with me. Not tho I mind going alone, but company will be much better. --- old post above --- --- new...
