Apologies if this has been asked here already. I have booked to go to Glasgow on the sleeper this Friday from Euston. I received an email last week saying the train now won’t be taking me to Glasgow but will take me to Edinburgh instead where Scottrail will accept my ticket until 0900 to get...

The incident itself had nothing to do with trail running and was just a movement taking place within the depot. Trail running has been disrupted only due to the reduced amount of trains that can come and go from the depot as a result.

Yes it is 006 on the WBP. It derailed to the right (travelling west) quite substantially leaving it sat across depot line 1 and almost fouling depot line 2 as well.

There was a de railment in OOC depot yesterday morning restricting the available routes in/out of the depot.

Its up already not sure how long it has been there. HTTPS://jobs.mtrel.co.uk/intranet/vacancy/trainee-train-driver-0417-old-oak-common-depot---nw10-6dz/435/description/

Complete and utter rubbish. So many assumptions made.

Hayes shuttles have not returned yet. Basically there is no easy way to display 'Not in service' or a blank PIS. So when returning to the depot or running ECS the Hayes headcode is used by most drivers hence why you might see a ECS back to the depot showing as a Hayes service. Also a 345 will...

For how long has this increase in use of the horn been ongoing? in the last few days, weeks, months?

Sorry ignore my previous post 345029 is in fact still 7 cars.

345029 is the FLU running this evening.

No, you don't need to do any prep for the course just sit back and relax until your start date in August. Good luck

These training runs are still taking place with the 9 cars albeit not as much as they were a few months ago. After dark mileage accumulation is also taking place with the newly delivered units.

I was never asked about timings but that's probably because I'm well within 40 mins. The only thing I was asked is how I would I get to work.

For anybody wondering about time frames. I'm not due to start until April so I was suprised to receive my contract this week. I also have a medical booked in January.

Well done getting to the managers interview. I think I waited about 4 or 5 days for the email confirming the date of the interview. Good luck.

I can't really add much more to what's already been said here. Just do your research on MTR and the crossrail project. They may ask you if you know what the training course and the role itself will involve. I went through this thread and the Illford one and made sure I had an answer for all...

What have you got to lose from not wearing a suit?

I got the call that I had been successful at the beginning of the week. Huge thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread as I believe it has helped me greatly. In my DMI I was asked the usual questions about myself, why I wanted to be a train driver, what I know about the company...

Don't worry pal had mine last week too and haven't heard anything back yet. Also it didn't go as well as I would have liked so will just have to wait and see.

Can anybody remember if we had to attach our CV to the application at the very start of the process?
