I got an offer for interview earlier this month, going for an interview next week!

You're probably best to look at the thread 'London Midland Assessment Day' in regards to this, even it is a long one, it pretty much gives you as much information as you'll get on the subject.

Heard of that, I think you will find that unfortunately has other (major) drawbacks :(

Well HS2 runs via Sheffield then to Toton and Brum. To me this means a lot lost out on CrossCountry journeys, because well in my case, I live in Derby. Do I really want to goto Toton to get a CrossCountry train? No! To me, unless I am missing something, and I don't think I am... the people who...

Firstly, I don't know if this hasn't already been suggested as there are over 100 page to this thread not all of which I have read but this is what I think. Scrap the Brum to Leeds spur completely Then perhaps build an HS3 in the middle of the ECML, with the HS3 line going underneath the...

Aaah Cumbernauld, is that not where one of the main offices is based for the lovely taxman?

A while back I did pyschometric testing for London Midland The tests were a Concentration test, Aptitude Test as well as a Ticket Selling & Checking test. My question is, in regards to Concentration/Aptitude test, how similar would these be to the tests a driver would have to take, and how...

I have applied for a Trainee Senior Conductor post and I have got to the assessment stage, application is now on hold and apparently I can expect to here back in late January!

Well when the whole WCML debacle was unfolding, and Virgin were critised for their PPM, the first thing they said that if the figures were studied it would become clear that Virgin were not responsible for their low punctuality, and that all operators on the WCML suffered from punctuality issues.

Customer do like the fancy looks, there is no about that! I must admit, the visual feel of Virgin Trains does actually make me feel happier when using them! The power of image is never to be underestimated!

MKB, if you're on a Virgin it ain't going all the way! :p Sorry for that one...

I would so love to witness someone trying to charge their phone with this! When Apple were advertising they had for just about anything, I can remember emailing the app store and asking if they had an app to do the washing up. They told me they didn't and they realized how disappointing this...

LOL, Solar Charger! Pointless apps? Angry birds :P *queue flame war*

Well, I expect the government are not in any rush to retender franchises at the moment!

Well, I can't see the preference for DEMU unless you what the ability to make it all electric later down the line. Fact is, powering a electric engine with an onboard diesel generator introduces much inefficiency, both from the extra weight of the components and the energy loss in generating...

Dammit, missed that bit about terminals. Well I believe Aberdeen would be a valid start station

hmm, going to start with Thurso I hoping for this one to end in Penzance :)

Duffield --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Second time I pulled this trick.... the only other options I believe are now are on EVR which I believe is not a permitted route to take! Anyone know any journey options i've missed?

Yes, I believe there have a few s-stock problems! LOL, Bombardiers 'improved cooling and ventilation system'
