Hi So the question is are Avanti obliged to show you the lower fares? For me i want to book with Avanti for the Club Avanti points but not to be ripped off. I wonder if Avanti's best price guarantee would apply here? Thanks

Hi Got an interview date in now. It's time to do the final prep any chance you can elaborate on the type of non tech questions they ask? Just a general idea would be good. John

Hi With the TOC being Network Rail would the interview be concentrating on the 8 non technical skills the same as a signaller or is it a completely different approach? John
