    Train presentation operative (Northern)

    What are the recruitment steps involved for a train presentation operative? I have done my application and completed the DSI test. If I was to be successful with the DSI test, what would come next? Would it just be an interview then an offer of employment? Thanks.

    Had to post this - Northern Advertising

    I was flicking through the great ol' Wigan reporter when I came across a Northern advert. This one here: 'Avoid the crowds and save money'. They won't be saying that tomorrow when the hordes of man and wife with child in tow are making their way to the Manchester Christmas markets. Last...

    Free travel for police officers on Northern

    Probably quite a nice touch from Northern to coincide with the funerals of the two police officers murdered on duty last month. Now who said Northern were a set of mean sticks? http://www.northernrail.org/news/7099

    Class 31 at Arpley

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet but there is a dark blue (I think) class 31 in Warrington yard. I first noticed it last Saturday. Don't know the number because it was too far away to see. Anyone know why it's there? Callum.

    Eyesight check.

    I often wonder if my eyesight falls within the required parameters for being a train driver. How can I find out before applying for driving jobs if my eyesight passes the minimum standard. Would an optician be able to advise? Also, is there anything that can be done if my eyesight was to fail...

    Braking

    I have been wondering for some time about when a train is stopping for a station. How much brake does the driver put on when he/she comes to the braking point for a station? Do they put on the brakes fairly strongly then ease off them as they come to the station? or do they do the opposite and...

    Quick question about hartford.

    Hi all. I'm just wondering if Hartford (Cheshire) is a good place to get some photos as opposed to Acton Bridge because for me Hartford would be easier to get to. Thanks in advance. Callum.
