With the dials test, are the dials labelled heat, power, light, oil as opposed to ABCD? Thanks

Thanks for that 1772827651 I've generally been in the 9 to 10 zone myself with only the occasional one missed

Hi, all. Does anybody know how long you get to cross out the matching symbols on the psychometrics?

I'd definitely recommend staying over the night before. It's what many people do unless they're local

Hi all On the group bourdon practice materials, there are 25 individual groups of dots on each line. Does anybody know if this is same as on the real assessment, or are there more or less. I have heard that they are likely to be larger Thanks

Thanks for that

Is it only the group bourdon which requires enhanced with Northern?

Does anybody know if the three strikes rule regarding psychometrics also applies to the depot driver position with Northern?

Hi, all Does anybody know if the Rail Competence Group or OPC are still offering private psychometric testing? Cheers

Just to point out, Northern now allow three attempts to pass the psychometrics.

Does anybody have any ideas which crews operated the North Western Trains, latterly, First North Western, services which ran down to Euston in the late '90s up until 2000? The Man Airport - Euston was operated by Picc drivers, but not sure whether Picc or Aiport guards worked them. In those...

Lime Street crews also sign via Golborne. I'm pretty sure they have at least one duty on the WNW - Vic services.

Entwistle on the Bolton to Blackburn line is no longer a request stop since December 2022.

There is a mess room at Lancaster, but no train crew at all are based there.

Northern guards at Man Vic are currently learning between Parkside Junction and Springs Branch to enable them to travel up to Wigan from the Chat Moss line. They are likely to have booked work from the December timetable change. This is probably link specific.

Services departing from Bank Quay require a dispatcher, and none are on duty at those times. There is also only one way in and out of thr station, and this is locked later on.

Blackburn to Kirkby, although currently services are only going as far as Rainford. Usually 2×150, platforms between Pemberton and Rainford can only accommodate two carriages. Sometimes all four carriages are left in use and the guard will carry out local door opening only.

Yeah, up until then Liverpool still signed between Lancaster and Preston and then onto Morecambe and Heysham. In the same recast, Liverpool also lost work between Wigan and Man Vic via Bolton. At the May 2018 recast they lost Man Vic to Huddersfield. Up until that point, they still did the...

Up until the recast in December 2008, Liverpool were the only depot to work the shuttle service between Lancaster and Heysham, despite being located many miles away and there being other depots which were much closer. This was a throwback to the days when there was a direct service between Lime...

Anybody remember the self styled 'grumpy old man'? He was a Merseyrail guard based at Souhport and his announcements were legendary. There was even a Facebook page dedicated to his best quotes at one point. Not seem him for a few years now, so I'm assuming he's retired.
