Took this photo on a bridge between Dalmeny Station and Edinburgh airport.
You can see either side of the track, the steel foundations ready for the OHLE masts to be fitted on-top of. I presume that’s the work that’s been carried out these past few weekends - including today.

Hi guys, I'm new to this and would really appreciate anybody's advice on the train driver selection process.

I believe the next step is the manager interview. Could anyone tell me what that...
