However there are about 6 tables at the back which only have one seat. I went in first and made sure I had a table at the back. The only downside is there's no one to...

    Apologies for the bad grammar in the post I've got three demanding children to deal with and an early start at work tommorow. I'll try and update it when I can. The lady told us there would be start dates if I remember correctly in October, November and January. She also stated anybody who...

    We started off with the group bourdon test which is very similar to the software on here apart from the dots being smaller the lady did not disclose the time we had.

    With respect if your lucky enough to pass all the tests and interviews and get a job I wouldn't start umming and ahhing and the fact you even say such a thing on here could probably be perceived offensive by some if not all who've spent years trying to get a train driver job.

    Does anybody know how many jobs are available? If not could anyone hazard a guess as to how many positions are available? Seeing all these people mentioning they've all already passed to enhanced standard is really starting to play on my pessimistic nature haha

    I don't blame you, in hindsight I wish had done the same. When you say your quite good on group bourdon, with respect how do you know that? I downloaded the software yesterday and I've done a few tests but how do you know how well you are doing on it or do you just search the forum for a rough...
