Not at all. Just interested as hearing conflicting things. Cheers

Hi. Does anyone know which TOCs are still allowing in cab training during this new lockdown? Or is training suspended across the board? Thanks

I am a trainee. The tests were performed by an official tester to teach staff how to use the self testing kits. We have taken away kits to self test each week We will start self testing the week before we resume with a Di, and will be notified of this I know of resuming qualified drivers...
