Possibly. Depends on rostering rules. With our firm, it'd just be doable.

196s also have the same.

Cheers for that. So, any reason why the headlights go out at point of derailment? Would the carriage lights also have gone totally, or would emergency systems activate?

You'll be taught all the things you need to know during your time in training school. What you can do is look at the soft skills that guards exercise- how they do announcements, dealing with passenger queries, fare evaders or ticket irregularities etc. Those are the things that you learn on...

Is there any particular reason why the headlights extinguish at point of derailment?

Is it purely a timing thing? As in two long wrong direction moves at caution- from the down, xover and then to the up- would take far too long? While a unit wouldn't go near the worksite, in theory, if there's a driver error- an over run at Telford Central- it wouldn't be stopped by the...

I was thinking this for potential turns at TFC with a shunt back to Madeley. Would a 'pass main aspect at danger caution stop short stop board, call when ready to shunt' instruction allow space to turn back, or is that just too complicated? Edit. I don't think a shunt at WLN would encroach on...

It's never that many as you're not taking into account the fare dodgers who just say 'from the last station'.

Well, no. But it still stands that Wellington P2 is bi-directional.

I think the local instruction requires a member of the Rail freight terminal to be present to 'accept' any loco/unit into the sidings, even if they don't actually go into the yard. Outside of scheduled, rare, movements, I'm not sure this is feasible. And TfW drivers will absolutely have all the...

P2 is and is used to terminate short of Shrewsbury and go right time back Up to Birmingham.

No, the protecting signal is further on, beyond Donnington Junction, just before the Haybridge Road bridge, behind the Cylinder factory. Edit: signal MJ356

Any basic reading comprehension test should suffice. You can probably find lots of examples from places like BBC bitesize etc. Remember, all the information, and answers, are in the test literature.

If you decline this interview, you may not get another opportunity. You can always mention your application for closer station at interview, as while HR have policies to follow, local management may be more pragmatic , or put in for a hardship move after you're qualified and served time etc.

We get all that info too. Just not always quick enough to actually act on... Purchase after depart is just comparing programmed departure time to ticket purchase, but requires a bit of nouse to work out how late your train is to check actual validity!

This may have already been answered below, but the system, depending on exactly which one it is, isn't always the fastest at cross checking data. While it is true that, when you scan a ticket, it should flag that it's already been used, in reality, it will only flag immediately if it's been...

While I can't vouch for the conversation you will exactly have, I imagine it would be along the lines of any issues with the joint mobility and strength- how do you cope with walking long distances (you're required to walk up to a mile and a quarter away from your train to lay emergency...

It does, but I give discretion and make an electronic note next to the ticket scan that they've been warned about applying the correct Railcard. It then becomes easier for our digital fraud team to spot exactly when the passenger was warned and how long the 'mistake' has been going on for.

I would speculate that it's due to relations between staff and management being poor, and running trains at less than half their capable speed will have a huge affect on journey times which, rightly, some may not wish to do. Additionally, late end times may affect Hidden, and book on times for...

It could also suggest that youngsters are more prone to trying fare evasion, while those who are older have a bit more sense? Or that older folks were caught younger and don't fancy getting caught again? Edit: figures may be skewed as youngsters might not have access to a car, therefore need to...
