Allow for around 30-45 per assessment. There is no set number. On my assessment there was 30.

Just seen on sky news that the ecml has been brought to a stand by train spotters trying to get a look at the inaugural run. As a driver this infuriates me, stay off the tracks and stay safe before you get yourself killed or destroy a drivers career! I don't understand the way these anoraks go...

If anyone is a driver for southeastern could they please pm me as I have a few questions. I'm thinking about making a move. Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, but what is wrong with the current OHLE? Seems to be working perfectly fine as is....

I understand what you're saying but I am a driver who came off the street with no railway experience and I certainly wouldn't class myself as a risk. The fact you can get up for ****s etc is a bonus, however you say you sign the routes as a guard? A drivers route knowledge has to be a lot...
