Hey Ruth, If it's the online assessment that I'm thinking of, You should practice finding the missing number in equations. Example: 7 x ? - 11 = 45 They advise you to use a calculator. You just have to find the missing numbers quickly and accurately. Good luck with your application

Interesting reading the OP, I had a similar situation at Dore and Totley years ago when I was a new driver. I was working a Morning peak TPE 170 from Sheffield to Manchester. I had an issue with dragging brakes after departing Sheffield. I was booked to call at Dore and Totley. Managed to make...

I've been instructed by my control to depart Cleethorpes 30 mins early, as there was no platform available for the train waiting at Grimsby Town.

That is a little bit bonkers. It made me laugh though. With all that London has to offer, I doubt many Londoners will be travelling to Crewe to go shopping

Ashby De La Zouch has got to be my favorite one. I saw an East Mids 158 at Manchester Piccadilly the other evening with Ashby De La Zouch on the front. Am I right in think the station closed down in the mid 1960s?

Ive seen people doing this on a few occasions and it really annoys me. Once at Sheffield, two people dangling their legs off the edge of Platform 2. Line speed is 15mph through Sheffield so they might have had time to move out the way from hearing/seeing a train approaching. I shouted over at...

I saw a 3 car class 153 before at Cleethorpes. They were East Midlands Units on a football special. They actually looked like a proper train though, quite impressive ha ha

I remember a few years ago, the clocks on the platforms at Liverpool Street were set about 30 seconds early. I was told by a DSM that the idea was to hustle last minute people onto trains, as they would jump on sooner thinking it was about to depart. The rest of the clocks showed the correct...

There was varying reasons given at Sheffield for trains arriving from Manchester, which were delayed for the same reason. TPE services were being announced by the auto announcer and being delayed due to an obstruction on the line and East Mids services were being announced as being delayed due...

Hey everyone I was at Stratford (regional) Station today and saw a Class 315 in a white and blue unbranded livery. Ive done a little search and not found anything on it. It doesnt tie in with AGA's tube train livery so I wanted to see if anyone could enlighten me on this livery and what its...

If my train fare was paid by expenses, I wouldn't be bothered about saving £5.10 a day. Id just buy one ticket all the way through :/ ...just saying

I wouldnt say its a common problem, but I have seen it happen 3 times (in about 4 years of working on class 185s) As others have said, a gentle push and the doors spring open. I played about with a set of door where it happened and they opened normally 9 out of 10 times When a set of doors...

My first thought when I saw this was 'Was Katie Hopkins the Train Guard?' Sort of thing I would expect from her

I was thinking about this just the other day. An extra line towards Sheffield would be really handy as its such a bad pinch point. I think the tightest bit is between Sainsburys and Tescos. I think there is a little bit of space on the sainsburys side (up side) but ideally the extra line would...

All very interesting that. Thanks for the summery. 2019-2024 just seems like such a long time away. Its a shame we cant have it all done within the next few years

I was going to say the same as Causton, I always see similar signs when im heading down the M1 towards London around Luton Airport Parkway. I think the same thing every time i see it, 'quicker by train'... not the way I drive ;) But more seriously, I reckon my journey would take longer to go...

Interesting subject For like locos, I would normally say 'sixty-six' or 'thirty-seven' or 'ninety-one' For units, Its varies for me so much. Id say 'one-four-two'. the then on the other hand, I would say 'one-fifty' and then I go back to 'one-five-five' I remember thinking about this years ago...

At my last medical, my BMI was 38. Im 6ft3 tall. All they did was advise me to try and get my BMI down, which I am doing. Its mostly muscle on me anyway, but the BMI thing doesnt really take that into account. Didnt affect me getting the job anyway

Cheers you two :) syorksdeano I think you might be on the money there. I guess its just some sort of fault. and lol @ Coatbridge Rainyside, good one yorkie :D

Hey Departure screens at Coatbridge Sunnyside are showing: Watchdog Event Wdt Wdt Just wondered if anyone know what this is or means and if its showing the same at any other ScotRail stations?
