    Glop / Sander question (for assessment next week)

    Thank you all. No redron, I was after advice. I'm not looking for the test answers, and didn't ask for them in my OP, just some prep help on what may be asked ;-) Now I know I don't need working knowledge re sanding etc, I can relax a little, and see that section more as a memory test.

    Glop / Sander question (for assessment next week)

    Hi Is glop / sanding one and the same thing? I have my trainee driver assessment next week and this is not something I'm familiar with as a TE. I've seen the cab 'sander' button, and that's as far as my knowledge extends! :-D Can anyone help prep me for the possible questions please? Thanks...

    Just had my first quick go on this test, and at first wondered why my cursor didn't work :-) Is there a quicker way to jump down to the next line, rather than scanning across with the > button? One other thing...Are both tests done on paper on the assessment day? Thanks Tara

    Is discounted travel possible for my daughter?

    Thank you for the info. :) Sadly, I won't be travelling with her in the main, as she regularly goes to festivals and concerts where I'm sure Mother wouldn't be welcome! A-driver - Is the 'friends and family' form for the £5.00 travel found on the ATOC site? Cheers!

    Is discounted travel possible for my daughter?

    Hello I'm a new (and very green) FGW staff member, so please bear with me :) I have received my own travel cards, but was hoping that my daughter may be able to travel at a discounted rate. Because she is 25 and in full time employment, I've been told she doesn't qualify for cheaper...
