    A career as a train driver

    You name it, they do it on the railway! Depends what you are interested in; engineering etc? You will need to be 18 to work any job on the railway.......... Have a look at network rail apprenticeships!!

    Yeah. Did you not get the booklet? From what I remember 3 weeks ago: You are given a map, and a period of time. You are given some symbols. In that time you are asked to mark on the map every symbol that you see with a marker pen

    In the assessment you are looking for symbols, and to mark off as many of those symbols as you can on the map in the time given.

    Anyone here work at Gilberdyke SB? (Updates on resignalling in the area)

    Thanks for the reply. I was after an update re the re-signalling in that area. The most recent info I can find is quite old, but states upgrades in 2016. As we're nearly in 2017, I wondered if anyone knew anything more specific?
