Technical Test - Timetable Planner

[Captain Bigwig]

Hello all,

I've applied for a job as a timetable planner at Network Rail and have been invited to go for what they describe as a "technical test" at their headquarters at Milton Keynes next week. Can anyone give me some idea of what this will involve? I'm imagining probably some numerical and verbal reasoning tests and probably some sort of timetable planning exercise, but I'd be interested to know if anyone knows more about what it will involve, or if there's any way I can practise or prepare for it.

How many Wide Patrols are required to run between Efrafra and the Iron Road bridge on a slack day and then is there spare "capacity" available at short notice when there is a sudden increase in "traffic" when the rascals are on the run from the warren?
