Yep! And... 6. Give an example of undertaken task similar to train driver's role.

All I can say has already been said here in this thread. How2become was like bible to me and I have to state 90% of questions asked, this book coveres. The more you know about the company and whole group, the better. Good luck mate.

In my view it is more relaxed in comparison to MMI purely because unlike expressionless, cold MMI interviewer DMs are smiling and chatting to you in a very friendly manner. In terms of grilling..... YEP! It is all truth. Tons of questions, very intense. Afterwards my brain felt like melted...

Thanks guys. Shunter is then equivalent of our banksman, someone who only assists during maneuvering.

Do these job titles refer to the same role, or is there any difference? Does anybody know what is shunter's salary? (FGW - Oxford if known). Help much appreciated.

Any idea how much shunters earn with FGW?

Have you heard anything from FGW yet?

Is it allowed to bring and use own notes during DM interview?

They probably shortlist manually rather than allowing computer to do it. Hence delays.

The OPC (Occupational Psychology Centre)

Jobs in Brighton on offer. Who is applying? :-) Hands up!

Thanks for clarification. So who prepares the train set and carries out safety checks? Mainline driver, depot driver, shunter? Sorry in advance for lame questions.

It's a sheet with departure times. Then again conductor would be having that. Except where DOO applies. What if you book on at the depot and take the train out as its first driver.

Who does directly supervise drivers at the depot. Ensures they book on and off, issues running boards, covers sicknesses holidays etc. Is there someone in a shape and form of traffic controller (clerk).
