Make test harder, yes. But no to retaking tests after a slight mistake. No driver is perfect.

People have experience and advice for things beyond the railway you know.

Dress as smart as you would for any other interview, the job really doesn’t change that.

Shown as “DG” in left most column and “DIS” in the SPL column….a long with incident instructions further down.

As above, there is still vapour and liquid remnants in the tanks. It is still dangerous goods and still requires the necessary action following such incidents.

They would have been notified under the RAIB notification schedule but contrary to popular belief, the RAIB do not investigate nor produce a report for every single incident. This is a derailment following a SPAD where all infrastructure and other equipment worked as intended, there won't be a...
