Hello

Please forgive my unexpected approach, I spotted you, describing yourself in your signature as a driver under training, so you sound like an excellent person to pick the brains of !

I'm Ian, I recently went through all the driver assessment tests and CBI and am hoping to get a date for the final interview soon,the one I believe is the Driver manager interview.

My CBI interviewer, when asked for tips suggested stick to same kind of replies I'd given for CBI, making it sound like pretty much a repeat of the CBI.
I expect questions too on why I want to drive, what do I know about the company (I'm internal anyway btw) etc.

But...Any tips please? If I hone my CBI replies, bone up on routes and traction types, stats etc, will that cover me? Any other surprises I might get?

I'd be very grateful for your thoughts.

Anyway, how is the training going? I replied Reading/Oxford, where are you headed? When did you start?

Nosey eh?

Many thanks

Ian

Hi Nige,

As if by magic, I sent this to you and I got a response from FGW ! haha So no need to reply with the info - apparently there are only 3 of us for oxford - so You, Me and Pete.

See you Monday !

Dave.

Hi Dave,

joining instructions have just arrived in the past 10 mins, check your inbox.

I guess we will meet at the drivers restroom which is at the North end of Platform 1 by the bay platform. Not read my instructions yet.

See ya Monday pal.

Hi Nige

Have you had confirmation of start time / location yet ?

Although we are oxford based - do you know where in oxford the depot is, or is it part of the station etc in Oxford ?

Cheers

Dave.

Hi just wondering if your starting at Oxford on the 4th Feb ?

If so, see you on the 4th

Dave.
