The fact that you have had a failure to pay previously and have now been caught again is good enough grounds for criminal conviction for fare evasion and Northern WILL pursue that I can 100% assure you. I'm sure someone on here will be along with technicalities that you could try to worm out...

The bollards are usual inside an engineering possession. That being the case there wouldn't be any passenger trains around at all.

In brief. A handsignaller will stand at the first signal effected which will be held at red. He hands a form to the driver telling him which signals he can disregard in the temporary block section. There is then a hand signaller to accept him out of the section situated at the first 'working'...

You'll never have a problem parking in the staff car park at Bolton. Do arrive early on your first day as you'll need to locate the admin lady (Carole) who will give you a permit which you will need to put in your car immediately. You'll see when you come into the car park the 'permits must be...

Hormones were not on the testing list I saw. It was more the obvious 'non prescription drugs' it looked for!

I might have missed the point here but what would the point in this be?

There is no upper BMI limit for most companies. As long as you meet the medical group standards set out by the RSSB there is no reason you shouldn't get through. My BMI is 37 (and it's wobble not muscle) and I've passed medicals for 2 passenger companies and a freight company. The 33 thing was...

Officially you can't use the Transpennine service but speak to the guard and he'll let you on. You need to apply for a residential pass if your going to commute by TPE for any length of time. What you'll find though is they'll probably retime the course slightly to allow you to use Northern...

Little bit of interesting Gen for the Manchester lot. Tonight's 2319 Piccadilly to Hadfield will be formed of a 142 instead of a 323!! This is a very rare event indeed and I'd love to be there to see the precious faces of the passengers when that bouncy bad boy rolls in!! Details here...

No problem. As you are probably aware Northern recruitment are painfully slow at this part of the recruitment.

Keep trying mate and chase your dream. I have and I've not regretted it yet. (Nearly 3 years on). As a side note you don't take a drop in pay if progressing internally as it's seen as a promotion. Therefor I'm currently a trainee driver on full conductor money (less my enhancements obviously.)...

Andrew have you informed recruitment that you are willing to take conductor vacancies elsewhere if the need arises?

I'm sure our resident Newton Heath MDD will be along shortly to tell you the ins and outs of depot driving, but I just wanted to share a couple of things I think will be helpful to you. The recruitment process used by Northern for depot driver is IDENTICAL to that of mainline driver. So if...

No longer required thanks

I know your talking the South but here's some of the Northern ones. Northern - No FTPE - No Virgin - Yes DRS - Refunded if appointed. Cross country - Yes

Put your normal sizes down. I'm sat in the school with 11 others. Some fitted perfectly others miles out. Even lads who are similar sized. Like all corporate uniform the sizes depend on the 12 year old stitching it understanding the numbers properly. ;-)

I to thought it went Rochdale, MCV, Newton-Le-Willows, Warrington BQ then Tamworth and Watford and Euston. Operated by 158s although the occasional odd substitution used to happen.

Having recently looked for parking in Liverpool I can add my 2ps worth by adding the cheapest I can find a days car parking is £6. So hope that helps with you workings out.
