http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/features/telegraph.shtm All the talk of telegraph codes led me to find this. Quite comprehensive and fairly interesting to have a read through!

What you have to remember is that, if the worst happens and someone goes under a train, it’s the platform staff who’ll likely been hauled in front of the coroner and perhaps a court of law explaining why they didn’t keep people back from the platform edge which is part of their duties. In a...

I used to work on the platforms on the ECML and people used to ask what to do if they didn’t have the card that booked the journey to collect the tickets (most often employees who’s business had bought their tickets and given them the reference only). For ages I was stumped and used to send...

Currently training and I can confirm that we have had it hammered into us that it’s ALWAYS signaller first. Can’t speak for all TOCs of course but if there is training underway that tells trainees to contact Control first then that TOC needs to review its training and probably make some...

Also bear in mind your responses don’t have to come from work or even be safety critical. If you’ve been around these forums you’ll know that there tend to be a standard pool of MMI questions (which were the same for me both times 5 years apart). I’ve worked in the rail industry for 10 years...

The best advice I can give, having failed on that question once and passed it the second time, is to think about how each answer you give on the MMI relates to the role of driver. Words like ‘lonely’ or ‘bored’ would likely be viewed as negatives if you put them in the context of a drivers...

https://www.theopc.co.uk/contact/ I failed the MMI in Jan/Feb 2013, I can't remember which and I'm not sure which month/year they changed. Resat the 'new' tests in 2017 and passed. I was told by my TOC at the time of resitting that I would have 2 attempts if needed and my 'lives' had...

Taken from the RSSB website: https://catalogues.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/GORT3451%20Iss%204.pdf I believe that a BMI under 28 is desirable and that anything over 33 would be looked at unfavourably but might not mean a fail (BMI is not always an accurate measure of the fitness of an...

Have you considered that this may have been 'part of the test'? I failed my first MMI and felt similarly to you about the interviewer and the process. It only dawned on me afterwards that the manner in which they conduct the interview potentially tests your responses under conditions a driver...

Sorry, just for clarification, I haven’t heard anything at all so could you elaborate on how you know these are the last interview dates? I would’ve expected a ‘no’ email if that is true. Although, having had a job offer from another TOC that was then pulled after a year of false promises, as I...

I've heard nothing other than a generic sounding reply to an email I sent a couple of weeks ago. 'Volume of applications, still working through them etc...' I'm now just concerned they'll fill as many vacancies as they need to and we'll all get a 'thanks but no thanks' email after months of...

Congrats to those who have had their interview and passed... to those who have a 'no' keep on plugging away. I'm still waiting to hear about my application... At this point I'm not sure I understand their process with this recruitment and to be honest I'm a bit frustrated. I thought it was...

Great stuff. I was thinking of doing the same so might fire something off later.

Is anyone else still waiting to hear either way? Someone I know got a rejection within 2 weeks but I've heard nothing at all...
