I used an Etchasketch to practice for 2HAND and found it a massive help. Not exactly the same but still one hand for up/down and the other for left/right

No, not aimed at you at, sorry if it came across that way. It was more of a statement that generally, I would imagine that most members of the public are unaware of just how catastrophic the effects can be - I certainly was until I was unfortunate enough to see it happen in front of me. I'm sure...

Having unfortunately been an eye witness to such an event about 15 years ago where someone on the platform I was waiting on hopped off the edge in front of a train doing 80mph (as BTP later told me) I can attest to the fact that the clean up isn't always as simple as some people might assume. Grim.

I should add that the Up line was back in operation by that time but the unit involved was still where it stopped about 1KM from Prestbury station

Another one this morning unfortunately at Prestbury between Macclesfield and Cheadle Hulme. The train (cross country) was still standing on the down line on the bridge over Bonis Hall Lane just outside Prestbury tunnel being attended by a fire engine and rail workers when I passed by at 11.30...

Yes, I heard that too regarding redundancies - can't see them recruiting for a long while - but got to look at the positives, those of us in this situation got down to the last 40 or so from 6000 applicants and have now experienced every part of the selection process (bar the medical), so...

Same for me, just as I thought. Disappointed but then on the bright side I've passed everything which hopefully should give me a better chance next time. Good luck to those who got through to final interview

Ha, good luck to your 'friend' Kenni, I hope he gets some good news soon! Any contact at all from TPE would be welcomed by me at this moment!

Its all gone very quiet - I know of a friend of a friend who had a manager interview for the Manchester position last week and he was also offered today as an option but I've heard absolutely nothing from TPE as to whether I've passed the MMI never mind a manager interview. Maybe they are...

Well done on passing, perhaps there is a massive backlog they are working through. Hopefully we'll all get some news soon!

I was told at my assessment day 2 (1st May) that the manager interviews for Manchester would be 13th, 14th and 15th May - I've still not heard anything yet (I'm guessing quite a few are in the same boat?) so either the interview dates have been pushed back, it's a last minute thing or I've...

I was at York on 2nd April, I just got my email inviting me for the second stage assessments. I'm quite surprised, although I know I did well on Group Bourdon, TRP 1 and 2, I thought I'd messed up the first part of the Tea-Occ. They've added a load more options for stage 2 assessments at the...
