    Northern rolling stock changes post electrification

    I was looking for one yesterday. I was out from around 2:30 pm, no luck finding one. Ended up stumbling across the Arrive 67 set and gave that a bash to Chester instead. Got back into Piccadilly at about 8pm and there was a Liverpool bound 319 pulling away from platform 14 :lol:

    Accident at Welshpool (16 July 2013)

    Looking at the picture of the train involved, it came out quite unscathed considering it was doing 75 when it hit the trailer :o

    I felt mine went really well, but I failed it. Compared to my first ever phone interview a few months ago, it was 10 times better. Can you request feedback?

    Failed my phone interview even after I thought I did really well. Really peed off about it.

    There are two online assesments. one is questions about various situations and if you pass that one, the next is a concentration test made up from numbers and letters. I did both assesments on the same day. My phone interview is this afternoon.

    Best way to be, don't think you have it in the bag until you actually know you do. I did my online assessments yesterday. The one where you compare the numbers/letters is very similar to the one I have done for Northern, which I have passed every time. Although I found the FTPE one harder...
