Give them a call mate!

Hi All, anyone out there looking for a new challenge? My company is looking for someone that MUST have some shunting experience. Based London / Home Counties. If interested and want any more details please PM me.

When the new tests were in the process of being introduced 8 drivers at my depot were asked if they would be guinea pigs and take them for statistical purposes only (not recorded on national database) Of the 8, 6 were pre Psychometric testing (before 1988,I think) All had excellent safety...

My missus done it, very very basic indeed!!!

Last time about Twenty months ago mate, each time I received a notification from First my status changed to, Waiting to invite to I interview, then as said either, vacancy on hold or reapply as timed out, as I said before best of luck if thats your aspiration.

Hi there, as far as I am aware generally the answer is yes though not always, simply up to the TOC or FOC.

Okey dokey, many thanks, will let him know.

Hi Bo Selecta, you can find out mate by using Wikipedia (GB Railfreight) or look at the jobs and depot page on traindriver.org. Hope that helps.

Hi all, apologies if this has come up before and has been answered already but does anyone know if it is now possible to use the freebie download of the bourdon properly with all functions on windows 8? My nephew has downloaded it on to his laptop (windows 8) but not all functions work. Many...
