Thats unusual, the Snow Hill guys were informed that they would do them later for the reasons I stated.
Could be a case of being told whatever pops into someones head and is convenient at the time I suppose!
Tyseley isn't used for Slow speed moves, there was a serious incident once and it is a big busy depot, they don't like people moving stuff around there unless its completely necessary.
Im at Worcester and trained with guys who will be based at Snow Hill, we did our slow speed moves whereas the...
In my case WMT didn't know that I had passed assesments and booked me in at Watford, I booked a hotel and only after I managed to contact them by email did they confirm that I didn't need to go!
Unfortunately I didnt need the room so wasted fifty quid so I'd advise you to get in touch and get...
I applied to about ten tocs and network rail.
After 2 years I got a job, really enjoying training at the moment.
Some applications got lost, some were rejected in unusual circumstances, for example I applied for GWR and did their SJT, passed and got in a Talent Pool. Applied to SWR, same SJT...
I mean that while you are at snow hill, at the training center, you will be asked if you need to park at Worcester and given a form to fill in which will get faxed to worcester.

Just to clarify, as I posted a bit early, my TOC has a 60-40-20 policy and policy is 15mph as recommended on approach to the signal at 200 metres.
A trainer had mentioned tpws when I think he meant aws, easy mistake I guess with so many acronyms.
Yes it is the ARB and you'll have to forgive me if I'm coming across a bit vague, I'm in the early days of ops training so I haven't put these rules into practice yet.
The company I work for have a policy of 15 mph over a TPWS grid on approach to a signal at Danger and have there own variation to the rule book. Most of it is just to enhance safety and from what I can tell, provided you are following the rule book its not enough to get you the sack if you...
I was a bus driver and heard through colleagues about opportunities with train companies. Looking into the industry more I realised that there were a lot of parallels between my job and the railway.
I applied for Freightliner in 2018, passed stage 1 assessments to National standard which halted...
