    Driver assessments Northern Rail - any waiting for them to be arranged?

    Yes it was on glop!! the best thing is to write as much as you can on key points and then read your notes and the passage, i ignored the cd playing because it has no use for me!!

    Driver assessments Northern Rail - any waiting for them to be arranged?

    Glasses and Contact Lenses

    Oh ok that doesnt sound too bad (yes it's a drivers position). They havent given much information about the medical to be honest, but I assume that it will be another day after the assessment (if I pass!) and I will probably take everything with me anyway!! Thanks for the answer :)
