Can you define fast please ?

If your one interest is going FAST I suggest you're probably not fit for the role...

Oh I don't know - that driver on The Railways this week was pretty much "if I want to do 125, I'll do 125"....

Hmmm I'm not sure. I think they like you to be on time ?

By fast he means Pendolinos - 125mph running on the WCML

Ok you're absolutely right... why don't you apply and tell them in interview that you want the job to go FAST. See where that gets you...

Hell of a job if you can get it mind! It's been mentioned here a few times how good VT are to work for, let alone driving for them

I'm waiting the 'Super Expresses' to come in on the SWML - Like Pendelinos, only, near me

Apologies

I think you would be suitable seeing as you spend most of your working time on a 390 going at 125mph and maybe even beyond that awaiting further upgrades to the WCML. I can't think of a better rail role for someone whos interest is going FAST

You also misunderstand Bev...

I was comparing that sweeping statement to someone walking into an Army recruitment office and asking the Sgt Major: "Where's the guns man! I wanna kill s**t!!!"

Thats the last time I try and use a short sharp message with a subtle undertone to get a point accross. I've learnt my lesson - it's wasted to most on here it seems :roll:
