    training for conductor ?

    As said above, one of the key things they'll look for is experience and how you would handle a situation. Basically your skills.

    If you could travel back in time, what service would you like to travel on?

    On second thoughts, I wouldn't mind travelling on ''The Flying Scotsman'' from end to end, back in the heyday of the LNER.

    Woman sexually assaulted on Highland Chieftain
