    Work-Life Balance on the Railway

    I’m still waiting for a start data so I can’t say what it’s like for a tic but I work in emergency services and work very unsociable 12 hr shifts. I can only echo what everyone has already said. It’s no fun heading to bed at 8pm on a Saturday night when all of your friends are in the pub and...

    T & W Metro recruiting Trainee Drivers

    I think it was about 15:00 but they couldn’t say exactly what time as it depends how many people make it through to the mmi. Only three of us made it to the end and there were 3 examiners

    He he look on the bright side :) It’s unftunate but we can’t all start at once and it’s one of those things. Tbh the interview really threw me and when I walked out I honestly didn’t even expect an invite to Doncaster so I’m happy to have gotten this far. Just need to play the waiting game. Dave

    Interview question

    C you can’t anticipate the actions of the person on the lines. They could be someone taking a short cut or they could be intending on throwing themselves under the train. There is a clear threat of risk of life which needs to be removed from the situation for it to be managed. Where were you...

    T & W Metro recruiting Trainee Drivers

    I have given up hope now ;) Interesting that they planned the start date as the w/c 15th of Jan. It wont leave them a lot of time for medicals and contracts to be sorted assuming people may need to give an average of 4 weeks notice. I wouldn't really feel comfortable handing in my notice until...

    The Tones Test on OPC

    I searched and searched but couldn't find anything. What I did tho was make some 1.5 second low and high tone and quiet sound files and threw them in to a play list on shuffle. It wasn't perfect as you couldn't be %100 sure you'd counted all of them but it was good practice to just let it run in...
