    5Z37, 06 43 LSL empty stock Crewe HS-Tom na Faire depot today.

    Probably breathing a sigh of relief that LSL are going to partly solve their overcrowding issue that’s forthcoming. There’s no spare sets or crew to do anything about it, so LSL will be doing them a favour to avoid bad press etc.

    Scotrail HSTs - 4-5 years in

    But it’s not is it! Still cancellations and short forms of 2 car 158s on IC services most days. Given the age of the fleet, it will never get to that stage, just not possible.

    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    But the difference is, mainline TOCs don’t go around isolating safety systems without following the appropriate rules afterwards. See Wooton Basset.

    Just a suggestion, but maybe if you viewed the tests for what they are rather than “a glorified quiz from a teenage girls magazine“ you may have a better chance at passing them. They are there for a reason, and if you don't take them seriously, I can guarantee you, several hundred other people...

    Depends when you did them? Some TOCs require you to sit them again with them.

    ScotRail Conductor applicants

    Don’t take that one, they might not/probably won’t accept your travel authorisation. Needs to be a Scotrail service. Only the 0755 that’s not Scotrail.

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    No, sorry, can’t answer that one. There’s a lot going on in the company just now with recruitment so things are stretched.

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    They’re 2 separate questions. You can enjoy working alone and also enjoy working with people, the two aren’t linked in anyway.

    The Group Bourdon test is not an online test. That’s one of the first tests you complete if you get invited down to assessment centre in Glasgow. Read the pinned thread on this forum for that and you will learn everything you need to know about it.

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    Guys dont get too hung up on all this profile status messages. It’s not concrete and certainly not something to stress over. Even after I started with the company, my status was still showing “under consideration“!
