Cheers that was my worry about being put into the accommodation with younger appreciates. Heard story’s of load music and noise into the early hours. Fingers-crossed for the village hotel then! Thanks

Hi, rules (final exam with your manager) is after your classroom learning and being out with a minder conductor, but i am only really know about the east side so it could be different over in the west side.
i think it depends on whether your going onto the east or west side. A lot of trainees take a week off after they have pasted out. Just ask your line manager when your having your rules, you should get what ever you want off as they don't need to cover your jobs as you won't be in the roster...
