    Hi Herdster, yes I was next to last for dtg assessment & was cbi'd by the "how did that make you feel" woman assessor. Glad to hear things are more positive for you. The Northern HR lady I've spoken with has been outstandingly helpful to me (Laura) & I'm sure that if she's involved she'll do...

I recently failed at CBI for tpe but I'm sure if I get...

    The Sun: HOW many rail workers does it take to re-surface a crossing?

    I remember being on one h&s training course & the instructor advising us of a well-documented but relatively unreported (sic) danger from newspaper ink. His advice was to wash ones hands thoroughly after handling newspaper ink, especially before using the toilet. Skin around the groin is...

    Transpennine Express New Trainee Driver Vacancies

    Hi everyone, I'm brand new to all this forum malarkey so I'll be succinct. Recently failed at CBI for FTPE trainee driver & asked for feedback. It arrived via email last week & simply said that I'd failed the CBI & that OCP don't give any feedback to First or the interviewees in order to ensure...
