    You won't do Sunday or Rest Day working while training ....you might do it with your DI to enable you to take a Saturday off, but you won't work any more than a 4 day week. If you do work a rest day with your DI, you won't get payment for it, so re mortgage it'll just be your standard 4 day...

    I started end of Nov last year and you were away by 3pm Mon-Thurs, and on Fridays you'll be away by lunchtime unless you've got the sim on a Friday, in which case they'll let those who have to travel the furthest get on the sim first, and obviously if you're closer you'll get a later time for...

    The room we had ours in had approx 10 computer stations, but there were only 4 of us in there ....I would say that's probably standard as they only had 3 interviewers to do the 4 (all passed) MMIs. Interviews took at least 60 mins.

    Defo research Scotrail though, eg, MD , Scottish gvt, no of stations, aims values, traction out of your depot, signalling used, and relate all of your answers to safety and following rules. 1736704384 There's new courses starting every couple of weeks. I would say this is the case all year...

    I did pay for it, and found it reasonable, but not great, as each scene was different and asked you different questions, eg, the letter on the 2nd pillar in a car park, colour of the 3rd cyclists helmet, and in that sense the actual tests are easier as you know what you're looking for. I...

    Double checked attachments and for links within attachments, no Disclosure. Only mention about disclosure and references is on the 1st letter, which is unclear whether they sort or me. Nothing re references either...filled all the forms out within 24 hrs, now starting to worry. Have already...

    Hi, does anyone know what the craic is regarding the Disclosure? They haven't asked me to apply for it, so is Scotrail organising it?

    No idea what time is acceptable, I just concentrated on trying to keep it in and going as quickly as possible. You'll definitely go off the track but just get back on it and don't panic. 1730290787 1St assessments, for me was probably the retaining the info from the passage, eg was it a red...
