    Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards

    Eurotunnel Cheriton only sign Class 9's and the route is literally a giant figure of eight between Cheriton and Coquelles. The 'chef de train' only drives for 50% of the time and monitors CCTV from the back cab for the remainder. Although they unnecessarily require applicants to pass the OPC...

    Class 777's - transparent cab doors?

    As seen here in Geoff Marshall's video The door between the driver's cab and passenger saloon is made of glass that will be completely transparent in regular service. I'm curious to see people's thoughts on this. In my opinion it's a bad idea - firstly because it increases the risk of the...

    LU vs DB Cargo - Advice needed

    Thank you for your replies, you've both given me a lot of food for thought. My interview for DB was this week and I've seen an example of the 13 week link. 5 weeks of nights but I've done the number crunching and I'd be saving at least 20 hours a week in work and travel time, and working 25...

    LU Night Tube Train Operator - Part Time

    I don't think it is available before the contract signing date, you are however given time to review it and ask any questions before signing on the dotted line. There is nothing untoward in the contract iirc

    LU Night Tube Train Operator - Part Time

    It is built in to the training syllabus and it's meant to test your understanding of the pre-read material. In my first week they skipped the test though, and I believe it's been the same for other groups too. You should still however take the time to read through it all as it'll give you a...
