It's never going to happen. You'd think they would have crunched the numbers before taking on so many drivers though.

Has anyone got an example roster with Sundays included? I can't find one online.

Has anyone had any experience driving them?

Yes, if the rumours are to be believed.

Great news re Sundays.

Yeah one of the internal applicants showed part of the test. Lots of tiny green dots moving around in a black circle and you're somehow supposed to count them. It looked very difficult.

Aye pretty much this, our start and finish times are slightly less horrific though.

I'm on day 6 of 7 just now. Last week Friday and Saturday were earlies. Backshift Sunday through to Thursday then 5 days off. Honking backshifts too, looking forward to my days off now!

Oft they're dishing out Markies breeks now? I'll need to get an order in.

Bloody hell I was supposed to be taking the sleeper from Central tonight straight after the Iron Maiden gig. Been planning this trip for months!

I bought a 1 litre Stanley flask and wee enamel mug. Having the ability to have a hot cup of tea at any time during the shift has been a game changer for me.

20th of June bud.

I wore jeans and tshirt when I did mine. I honestly don't think it matters at that stage of the game.

Ok

Rather discriminatory is it not?

Are Scotrail no eyeing them up to replace the HSTs?!

I was on it, yeah we were taxied to Carstairs. It was all a bit of a shambles tbh, my wife and I arrived at Central at about 22.30 and even then it was obvious the train wasn't going to run. What impact will it have on Sunday night? We're due back on that one...

If it's an consolation I dont think I ever got told officially I passed the MMI. Weeks and weeks later I just got told I was going for a medical. I think no news is probably good news.

Ah apologies in that case, I completely misinterpreted your post!

There are requirements for additional running brake tests when it's snowing so I'm no sure that's necessarily true.
