    Finally successful & a Contact Lens Q

    I wear lenses, can't stand glasses. But as guard1 said, just carry an extra pair with you as sometimes they can split for no apparent reason. Also I find my eyes can get quite dry towards end of shift as I've always got the air con on in the cab. A bottle of that moisturising spray you spray...

    Anti-depressants and Train Driving

    When I was prescribed them it was as early as possible as I couldn't take the sedative. I raised the shift work issue but the doc just said take it with a meal as soon as possible to waking up. I did advised whether it was earlies, lates or nights and I was fine...

    Anti-depressants and Train Driving

    Tell your friend not to be overly concerned at medical just be honest. Yes they'll ask you a few questions about the condition you're being treated for just like they would any "physical condition". The railway like many other industries has accepted that mental health conditions require...

    Don't think Ramsgate sign Sittingbourne to Sheerness as it's predominantly a networker that serves it and I'm pretty sure Ramsgate are the only depot where the drivers don't sign networkers....

    AWS release time

    Yes, and again what happens after that is traction dependent. The 700's will display on the DMI an icon; either "SPAD", "OSS" or "AWS" will appear so you know whether you've had a spad, tripped the grids or missed the AWS. Also, digital Dorris will start speaking to you through the speaker above...

    LNER Training Delivery Manager

    Anyone on here in this role or know about it? It's something I'd be interested in but I'm London based. It says based at their talent academy in York but will be required to move around depending on requirements. Trainee / Apprentice drivers recruited for KGX don't have to go to York everyday...

    Driver Depots

    Just a quick one.... with the “harmonisation” that’s going on in GWR at the moment, if a qualified driver applied for one of the vacancies they’re advertising at the moment and was put on the new GWR driver contract; would that driver sign all routes that their depot covers, or is it still link...

    Nice one mate! Thankfully I did my tests with SouthEastern which had the tests and MMI on the same day and GTR recognised the results, dunno why they do DMI before the MMI but best of luck anyway....
