I would double that now as everyone wants to be a train driver

I think that mainline driving and depot driving are very very broad umbrellas for example a mainline driver at par is very different from a mainline driver in Manchester same goes for depot driving. obviously where bev is he has it good same cannot be said for other depots so the argument is...

Guards are in charge of the train simple as that really, next time someone asks just tell them about the guard that is in jail for manslaughter

It means you passed but your scores are low so you go to the bottom of the pile as first dont take people with borderline passes for mainline driving but do except them for depot drviers. About 6 months ago loads of drivers with borderline passes got letters saying to be extra vigilant even...

Railway hr's are not that organised they do not know when drivers are going to retire, 50 people could finish next month and they would have to recruit more. All you can safely say about it is that its an ongoing process.The bigger question is will first group go bust? now there credit rating...

Sorry I forgot every post had to be ran through you obviously have control issues maybe you should apply to be a mod and ban me for an opinion.

I know of people that scored a border line pass and have been offered depot driving jobs instead of mainline, first have depot drivers at reading and old oak, first dont see it as a stepping stone and you would have to resit the tests to go into mainline driving

Well Im 100% sure I am older than you, this is not a spelling forum its a forum about railways and if you do not like how others think then you sir are very narrow minded not everyone has to be on your wave length. If you don't like the opinions of others who work in the industry that you are...

Wow personal insults all because I feel people who have worked in any job make better recruits than people straight out of uni I must of really hurt your feelings.

maybe for depot driver?

Im not the first person to read your post and come to the same conclusion

Its pretty vague option 2 in the first box would also be ok aslong as you had time to do it. in fact i would rate 2 over 4

The original post was in regards to someone who said people who go to uni have more life skills than those that stay at home. My comments were in reaction to this.
