Well you took your time ;-)

Every 4th Friday, next pay day being the 30th of Jan.

Well done for getting there in the end, who have you got as your trainer?

There's a queue as long as my arm for internal transfers to the Wigan depot, I doubt very much they need Trainees there. Advertising for internal trainees for Picc at the moment.

I met the Vic new starters on their induction Tuesday. 5 or 6 of them and only 2 were internal.

Marrying me no longer your best decision then? Charming!

6 days is actually a long time by Northern standards, when I applied last year it was live for 36 hours.

Picc do, Vic don't as there are currently no EMUs operating out of Vic.

You can opt out of your booked Sundays if you wish and yes, there is a 5 day weekend every third week.

Seems like a no-brainer, you can continue to use VicPaul quite legitimately :) I could have a stab at your questions but seeing as I've only been there a week I'll wait until someone more able comes along to give you a more comprehensive answer.

Won't that be Jimmy Keys old job?

Congrats mate, glad you have finally made it :-)

Simply, don't. Trying to ahead of the game by reading rule book modules will cause more trouble than it's worth. Enjoy your months peace and follow the course as it's written. The knowledge comes thick and fast so prepare yourself but most of all, enjoy it. Best of luck too all starting soon.

Yeah some do go to Picc but it is usually a much lower number compared to Vic. I personally think Vic need a break from further recruitment to let them catch up.

Cheers Pal, I'm a walking Rule Book now what can possibly go wrong :-/

Today marked the end of my classroom based learning, barring some simulator training and driving on the private line next week, I'm done and ready for my A&V exam. Llama is correct, the course is infinitely more challenging and intense than most will imagine, getting the job was a walk in the...

Too.... everything! My shirts were vast and my trousers were tiny, you need to develop an odd shaped body to work on the railway. I had my shirts altered rather than return them. I took my wife's uniform home for her yesterday and lucky everything fits really well except for the trousers, which...

There is a high chance that all or some of your uniform won't fit and will be returned. So your money may not have been entirely wasted.

You'll be at the Holiday Inn for your first 2 weeks mate. I found that out today. Plus there are an awful lot of uniforms already at Bolton waiting for ya. Best of luck.
