    Don't mess with 25kV

    Where will the Class 377/5s be used...

    The 319s do not have the acceleration required for Crossrail. Turbos do indeed work Oxford and Cotswold services, my station working book can tell you which ones are booked Turbo. Whether they stick to the diagrams is another story.

    What job can I do?

    If it's not as bad as some I described, you at least have a chance at passing, even for non-safety critical roles.

    What job can I do?

    OK tell me this, how would you do a Dispatch job with bad eyesight? How would you see the RA/CD/OFF indicators are showing the correct letters? How would you know which signal accounts for what line? How you you be able to tell apart the signals if you are colourblind? Eyesight accounts for...

    Station Staff defence.

    It is best to try to calm the situation or hand it over to a manager and walk away.

    What kind of car do you drive?

    I drive a 2001 reg Ford Fiesta, 5-door in dark green. I've nicknamed it the Fiesta of Hate because of the music I listen to :wink: Future plans hopefully should see me owning a 2008 VW Polo 1.4 TDI which I drove on my driving lessons, very nice car with lots of torque :)
