Forgive me for being stupid - what's a PN? :)

What role was that? I think my BMI was OK in the end, my understanding is that Station Manager has not long been downgraded to non safety-critical. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Can't speak for certain but if you play sport and don't eat the worlds worst diet you should be...

Thanks BB21! ComUtoR - Southern

I applied for one a month or two ago. Spoke to HR and they said they'd passed my application on and would be in touch within a week. Surprise surprise nobody was in contact and the job was extended yet again!

A big thanks to all. If anyone's interested, I passed my medical today and will now be Station Manager at London Victoria from February. Medical was a hearing questionnaire, blood pressure, urine test, height, weight, vision test and a few more questions. Can't wait to start!

Cheers Mark!

Evening all, does anyone know what's allocated to 03:38 3Z07 Cardiff Central - Bristol Kingsland Road? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Also - does anyone have the workings of 60066/60099? Cheers in advance

Cheers for the insight. Was this for a safety-critical role at all? Of the parts you've mentioned, I was only told by HR that I would undertake a urine test, drugs and alcohol test (guessing that's just the urine test?), ECG test and height/weight/BMI etc. Also - based on what HR told me it...

I've not seen a gronk down there myself either. Colas 66s/70s haven't been down for some months, as their Ratcliffe-Gloucester-Portbury-Ratcliffe diagrams haven't run for a while. Interestingly enough, the new timetable release sees a new 'Binliner' working going through Clifton Down and...

Anything DRS, so 20/37/57/66. It won't be 47s, as their last active 47 has been put in the stored pool. It has once or twice been a 68 with another class. However it won't be 20s for a while, they've been on RHTT duties and are out of service at Barrow Hill, with the exception of 20304 (long...

It happens to the best of us!! Thanks all for the advice, looking forward to getting the medical over with.

That's probably the best advice I've had!!

Thanks all. It will be a good 12 days without alcohol so guessing I should be fine then.

Hi all, I've seen a lot on here about safety-critical medicals, but not much about non safety-critical medicals, which are scaled down. I believe it contains ECG, height weight and BMI, and a urine sample. I wondered if anyone knows what type of urine testing is involved in these types of...

Cheers Tony. Do you have any idea where I might find even a basic generic version?
