Hey there,

Failed at depot interview, did think I had done well but the only rail question I got was about hitting a person which I felt I answered well as I got the answer from the depot manager when I visited lol. They even said they were impressed I took the initiative think I will need to contact them...
Glasgow Queen Street is the post I have the interview for.
Earliest date due to other things I can get to the depot to ask questions is the day before the interview that should be ok though i hope.

Yeah I found the dials and cables pretty straight forward, they go in this order unless u have 2 in same quadrant then u choose the one with...
Hey there thanks for the replies.
Hopefully they will be understanding if I get that far. Still waiting for email to see how I did.
Ended up doing 4 tests and the Structured interview question sheet with 14 others. We were all told we would be told before Thursday this week so not long to...
Thanks for the quick reply.
Guess my main worry is the doctor put it down as stress when at the heart of the matter it was more along the lines of if I go back there is a chance I could be killed. More self preservation I think. When the opportunity arises I will tell them every detail so...
