I wish, I'm on week 19 traction conversion to 150/1/2, 153, 155 and 158. 321/322/333 starts next week. Still a long way to go!

Think you need folding legs when driving one end of them

Also a LOT of tolerance to heat. They get exceptionally hot.





Some of them also smell like a toilet. That is because the cab at the number 2 end used to be a toilet.

Agreed, 158's aren't too good either, they smell bad!

156s are about the best when it comes to northern units. Although I can't speak for 321 and 322, never been in the cab of one.

Hi,

Very relaxed interview, more than i expected. Didn't feel it was my best effort but enjoyed it all the same. The Barrier building at Lime Street was like fort knox to me. Just as difficult getting out! lol.
And you Mal, how was your's?

I believe they were interviewing Tuesday and Wednesday - not sure how many attended for interview though. I think they said 5 trainee positions were available - again not quite though! Thanks for your best wishes and keep me updated with your progress!
