Sorry for the slow response but I don't get on here that often. Nice to be passed out but I'm looking forward to my second trip solo. Glad to hear you are doing well and I'm only just starting to route learn so won't comment just yet. As you commented on my remark the other day you know I am...

Thanks red for sharing that, I have just passed out and am route learning. I shall be taking your post and the responses to date as a learning exercise. For what it's worth I think you handled it well.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Good night and have a good trip. Hopefully see you soon

Hi just starting route learning, hope you are well and all things ok.

Read the threads gents/ladies you have to be in for the long haul. The railway takes along time and many of us had a number of attempts before getting a start. However it is worth it. There are many and varied reasons why but you just have to go with the flow. Good luck

Hi , how are you getting on? Hope you are well and all is OK. Sorry that I have not been in touch but you know how it is training etc. I am currently doing mainline handling and will be working out of AD Jcn. So we may yet meet again, hope so atleast. Till then take care.

Just to add to this for any OLD lurkers I applied at age 53 nearly did not apply, Decided it was up to them to say NO not me. So was offered an operator/yard role, good money and a good grounding, Now training for mainline position and should be productive in three months. To think for about two...

I have it on good authority that it will be Toton, but things can always change on the railway. Congratulations and Welcome.

HI, if my memory serves me correctly your course starts this month. So good luck and enjoy it.

Good luck with FGW

Thank You for that

Hi, can anyone please help me by supplying me with the address for FGW drivers depot in Bristol. Post code will be great, I need to work out if I'm within the hour travel. Thanks in advance.

Not heard anything, what did Lindsay have to say? I was told there are two vacancies.

I Think you are correct, as I glanced at your sheet and I guess you were atleast 3 rows per sheet ahead of me. I was very surprised to see you leave. For what it is worth I was geting 1150 cells no errors with 1/2 omission or none on the lap top practice. I'm sure you will be fine next time...

Hi, will be there on 3rd but times will dictate if we see each other, I'm in at 12:45 and will be in a campervan. I was emailed that the interview is for driver operator. How about you?

You are both very welcome. I hope we will be together again soon. I would private message you both but can't find the tag/button. Maybe I'm not allowed, when I post it takes hours before it appears.

Yes, I guess you have too. Is that correct?

Thank you to all who have posted information here, it helped me to get a pass. To those starting I would say read the sticky's follow some of the threads. Preparation will help to be less nervous on the day by knowing what to expect but its still a stressful day. Get the practice tools and...

Me too

I have not heard a thing either. No news is good news.
