Great bunch of guys who do the training course too. Can i ask, are you internal or external applicant?

Congratulations & good luck. Will see you around, I was a guard at Cambridge but now gone driving. Very good bunch of folk down Cambridge depot.

There isn't a booked 2x2 car on weekdays BHM-SSD

They do indeed, well, a de-select option anyway. They all have the same version. Only difference is a 170/1 will only have one SDO panel on the set of doors closest to & on the same side as the loo. Whereas our 170/3,5,6 have a panel at each set of doors closest to the loo. All middle coaches...

I'm liking this thread! May have to steal a few and see if I can liven up some of the early bird morning commuters! Mind you, can barely get a 'good morning' back from them when doing ticket checks, never mind a giggle!

Thanks for your reply. Glad to know I'm doing it right. I get can down to half a page, simple enough, never usually get more than 3 errors but as you said, "practice practice practice"!

First of all, I apologise if this is in the wrong section. Just wondering if someone could tell me how to use the Group Bourden tool properly. As the help manual doesn't work on my computer. So far, i've worked out that you can use the directional arrows but not what sure i'm supposed to...

Full English breakfast if travelling before ten (with other options available) After ten, IIRC it's to be light snacks and sandwiches and then when it comes to dinner time, it'll be stuff like beef, salmon and curries!

Saw her today whilst up in York. Packform was packed!

Eureka is going through its final stages now. Been working for EC for about 7 weeks now and have been spending this last week up the acadamey. I can assure you, they are darn determined to back to a GNER standard!
