The rule book was changed a few years ago to ammend the 'use of warning horn' section, and drivers are now only supposed to use the low tone of the horn at whistle boards etc unless they actually see someone on/near the line. Was this rule just for England? Because I see a lot of Scottish...

Are there any direct buses that go from London King's Cross Station to Greenwhich? Failing that, any ideas of which routes I'd need to use if there isn't? :)

Quick update here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF2GMeMdsCU Enjoy. :)

Does anyone know the reaction times you have to beat when doing the tests on company assessment days? I've been practicing on various free websites and getting similar results, but does anyone know the official times you have to beat?

Was there any special workings to Scarborough yesterday (27th June) at all? A friend of a friend has remarked how she saw 'something with a nose' on the line yesterday. My initial reaction was a 37 on a Network Rail train, but she seems to think it was more like a HST! Any ideas? :idea...

Ok, so I've using Outlook Express for years now with no problems but yesterday things have gone t*ts up! :evil: I can still recieve emails, but I can't send them. It keeps asking me to log in to my 'secure user account'. It's never done this before, and I've never had to log in before. When I...

I've read the job description, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the job was actually like. Shift patterns, what's involved etc? Anyone know? :)

Does the 'two fails' rule only apply to the actual assessments/tests, or does it also apply to the actual applications too? For example, if I was to apply twice (at two different times of the year) for a Trainee Train Drivers post, and fail twice, would that be game over for me?

Hello all, :) I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on a very irritating problem I'm having. :-x My PC screen keeps going distorted every now and again. It's happening more and more frequently as the days go on, and it won't clear until I've rebooted my PC again. It...

Just a heads up to anyone interested. I've just walked past 91 113 at York and it now has the new East Coast logo on the bodysides, rather than the National Express text. 91 121 (I think it was) came trundling in, and still carries the old text.

Anyone know what's going on? All Scarborough services are being terminated in Platform 2 at York, and apparantly there's a seperate half-hourly service between York & Leeds. These appear to be taking longer than usual so I can only assume they're being diverted? East Coast services...

Hi all! Before I start, let me say two things: - 1) - This post is not trying to say that the horns included in the current versions of the two 158s we have for BVE4 aren't any good. 2) - There seems to be three main catergories for 158 horns; - Can't be bothered/clapped out. This...

Now we all know that lovely sound that the Class 91s make when they start moving. I believe this is the traction motors kicking off, am I right? BUT! At what point in the departure process do they start making that lovely racket? Is it when the driver selects forward/reverse? Releases the...

Northern Rail were recently recruiting for this role. :) Does anyone know what it actually involves? :| I've never heard of this one before! :lol: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Anyone?!

I was offered a job, only to have it taken away from me a week later due to a 'recruitment ban'! Severely disappointed! :( :cry: :-x :evil:

Hey guys (and gals), :wink: I've been asked to attend an interview with TransPennine Express for the position of Travel Advisor. I know roughly what the job entails, but does anyone know exactly what it's like? Also, any advice for the interview itself? :lol:

I believe some of Virgin's HST sets were shortened to 5 Car formations a few years ago. Is this true? If so, what was the formation? I'm guessing HST - TGS - TSO - TSO - TFRB - TFO - HST. Any ideas? :)

Anyone know where these ran, what pulled them, and how many were generally in a rake? :neutral:

Does anyone know if there's any free software out there that lets you rip music off DVDs but without the speech/SFX? I'm desperate!!!

How much (roughly of course) would one of these be to buy? "1999 Dennis Dart SLF 10.7m, 39 seats, Cummins engine." I know nothing about the cost of buses, but I like the sound these make! :lol:
