Hi all
How long before you started training did you receive your contracts? Been given a start date of 1st November on the phone so am hoping it comes through quite soon. Also did you have it emailed or sent in the post?
Thanks
Looks good to me mate, don't go into huge detail about the class 700, things like who makes it, when delivery is likely to be complete etc. Mention how many passengers they can move and new features such as open carriages you can walk the entire length of the train. Also touch on the new...
I wouldn't go into too much about finiances, they don't need you to know the after tax profits! I researched purely on their website regarding passenger numbers and key commitments etc. A bit about routes and also rolling stock such as the new class 700's. Reserch the top management structure...

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone's got any ideas for a documentary series on the railway worth downloading? Looking for present day rather than older ones.
Thanks
