    West Midlands Trains (inc. LNWR) - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Does anyone know what the stage 2 tests are? I got my email last week that because I’d already passed stage 1 with TFW a few years ago I was going straight to stage 2 in Watford. Booked my space for the first week of June, so for the guys that pass their stage 1 I’m guessing they plan to do...

    Online TOC Game

    Does anyone remember an online TOC game from many years ago. I've been searching online for it, or something similar but I'm unable to find it or similar. Bascially, you joined a game with a certain time period simulated / geographic reason. You could purchase trains and assign them to routes...

    Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

    08:32 from Crewe to Manchester was late off the depot assuming a fault with the train. Train was loaded for the return at Piccadilly to Swansea but looking at RTT seems to have been cancelled and is moving ECS back to Crewe.

    Transport for Wales - Trainee Train Drivers

    Is anyone waiting to find out if they passed the MMI from Cardiff from last weeks dates? They said they’d be in contact by the end of this week. Obviously just being impatient, the waiting to find out is worse than the actual interview!

    Transport for Wales - Conductor Recruitment and Discussion

    For the people having medicals recently and course start dates for Crewe, may I ask when you were interviewed and got into (if you got) into talent pools? Currently in a talent pool from an interview in September last year, so wondering how many people ahead of me there might be in the talent...

    Crewe to Gatwick Advice

    This is the part that confused me as to if the GatEx would actually be valid - The cost of the advance single from Crewe To Gatwick is only £18.50 - Which when looking at the GatEx price of £17.80 one way, makes the Virgin part only 80p Bargin!

    Crewe to Gatwick Advice

    Thanks all We get into London just after 8AM on a Saturday morning so I'm guessing things will be relatively quiet still. We're heading back into Gatwick late on a Saturday evening so I think City Thameslink will already be closed I have a PAYG Oyster that I'll be using for the tube while in...

    Crewe to Gatwick Advice

    Thanks all for this! The option of St Pancras on Thameslink looks the best! Another question - We're heading into London for the day, after dumping bags at the airport hotel, I was looking at a Thameslink ticket return into London and saw no merit of buying these in advance We'll be heading...

    Alsager

    Sorry for the bad picture - taken from my iPhone! There's quite a long stretch of platform behind the signal for the 350s!

    Alsager

    Alsager was my local station :) The LM 4 Car 350s do fit in the platform in front of the signal, just. Unsure as to why it is signalled this way though Could do with a sign on the platforms advising people to move down though!
