http://news.sky.com/story/driverless-trains-could-solve-growing-rail-demand-10759195 Yes, yes, yes, there is always that age old, historical, argument that "it is not safe". What is safe? There are already well documented examples of driverless rail systems, Vancouver Sky Train...

The letter was not necessary really as any Doctor will have a lot of experience in side effects of most medication types and have access to MIMMS or a BNF if they need reminding. The legal side is down to you being honest in a medications' effects. Is this diazepam, for example, making you...

The consensus is that you don't need the "course" as it does not give you any more of a boost in your chances than going through a couple of sticky threads on here. On a more direct, less PC, level the "how to Become" series is a total con taking all of their content from freely available...

And I've over ten years of experience in assessing fitness standards and fitness reporting! There is no room for equality and fairness when you risk the lives of hundreds of people. Medicine reports upon and balances facts and risks. I was not going to go down precise and exact routes...

If this is one single individual with Aspergers, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia then they've, sadly, got not much hope of getting through training. If you think about it how safe would it be for someone with a short attention span, probable difficulty in reading / studying and poor motor...

It depends upon who diagnosed in some cases. Someone may well believe that they have ADHD when the reality could be completely different if a doctor instead of a parent does the diagnosis. If it is genuine ADHD that an individual is still suffering from then the fact that inattentiveness and...

Thanks EssexGonzo, but I have offered plenty of help here! ha ha. nom de Guerre; It may well be only information sharing and seems to be inconsequential and whilst the OP has asked for unusual "questions" you know only full well that answers is what he is asking for, putting your pedantry...

It is not a "discrepancy" it is what you are offered.

Lets not, eh? You should appreciate that giving answers to questions that you don't understand is exactly the wrong thing to do. Giving answers to folk who should fail is probably the most dangerous thing you could ever do. You either understand what is asked and are able to formulate a...

This is the problem with rumour and speculation; it usually ends up as a pile of nonsense. No one, absolutely no one, could ever disregard you on a pre employment medical due to "you will suffer one day from musculoskeletal problems" as crystal balls are not used in the medical world...

Register for the job updates on the Train Operating Companies (TOC) website and just check here every other day. Not much else you can do, apart from go and live a life whilst you're waiting.

Checking every day is extremely obsessive and quickly lends itself to doom and gloom. Check this website every other day because someone will inevitably be searching obsessively every day and / or register with the TOC's so that you're emailed the jobs as and when they come up. If you...

The best advice anyone could ever offer will be to "get a life". (Bear with me, it isn't as it sounds) Don't sit and wait. You can wait up to two years and even then you might not be chosen if better folk come along! It has happened whereby newer folk in the pool are chosen as they are...

Dude, everyone knows that the first day involves finding that you know absolutely nothing! ha ha ha. Seriously Dylan, stop worrying about what is to come. Enjoy it, pay attention, do your homework. Congratulations. Have fun.

Sorry to disagree but, No, patience is not the key. I think it's the wrong word. Getting on with your life is the key. Some people put everything on hold simply because they are waiting, literally, to hear. They become obsessive. They post every week asking if anyone has heard anything and...
