Drivers have also been helping the development of the cab in Spain iirc. Making adjustments where necessary so likely that is still going on, aswell as getting the engineers clued up on it.

Either way, all 144 n 142's will need to be fully, and extensively refurbished by 2019 anyway which the owners have said they aren't going to do so they're going to be scrapped or handed back anyway. Logic dictates you would scrap the pacers now and get everyone clued up on 150 and up trained...

yeah i forgot to write porterbrook instead haha, thanks for that. i was reseaching the 142's at the same time as i'll be driving those shortly. oops!

Trouble is angel, who own them, require northern to perform constant service on them including up to the day they hand them back. Including, handing them back in the condition they got them in. Which is Impossible so who knows what's gonna happen with them. They also will not be fit for purpose...

Goodluck on the 10th everyone. If it helps, a good night's sleep the night before is a massive help. Hotel it if ya need to :) I've just recently secured the role of MDD after missing out on it last year (because of the bourdon test) I'm Setting off to start the initial training today at Leeds...

The thing is, the companies that send you here are doing it at the expense of themselves and they want to have every chance to get people through to interviews to get the best people they can. They also send out the relevant practice materials aswell (my TOC did anyway) so if you weren't...

Don't go in thinking that it might not appear for you though, I may have asked the other candidates the wrong questions about what they did so might not of been sure what I was on about (was so over excited being told I'd passed lol) But good luck everyone. If you don't do the glop test please...

I've never ridden on one as a customer. That's just with it idling in the shed and trunddling along at 5mph in the maint depot I work at. You can literally see the tables being kicked back and forth lmao!

The engine rattle will be nothing compared to the 180. When that's in my depot damn you'd think the whole thing is about to rattle itself to bits, no exaduration.

Ask the assessor on the day to clarify** Drop me a pm if you need to up until your test.

Just try your best that's all that anyone can do. I completed everyt in one day so it was a long one. Though the first part can be stressful just relax with the constant testing , remember to breath deep n don't let it get the better of you. Remember, if you are unsure on something or don't...

Those sound like stand questions so yea

Also on the 2nd and 3rd part on the paper adverts, you look for tradesman names with with 2 symbols next to them which are the same like 2 stars, 2 squares, 2 circles etc.... but if you see one with a square and a circle, ignore it. For example, if you are looking for a plumber... □□plumber...

As above. From what I remember, you have 10 groups of tones on each part. I found this test quite easy. We had to place our hands under the desk on our knees/legs but you can use your fingers to count when you hear the beep your hearing for but you can't do this On the 3rd part obviously. On...

As far as I am aware it's the same at other northern depots. You get night shift perm or a day/night mixture. Pay goes in 3 increments. Year 1- 21k Year 2- 27k Year 3+ - 35k This should be on the recruitment post that they put out, though.

Morning all, If anyone would like help with the assessment ask away I passed mine 3 weeks ago so it's all still fresh! Done it all in one day thankfully (most of it) and got it out of the way, 2nd time to it! Failed the dots the first time. Weird thing was, the group I was with didn't do the...
