I've noticed they have a second on driving a 319 as well. I've done training on these and they are very accurate as the cabs are life sized mock ups of the real thing. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/272274152943?_mwBanner=1

Can we stop referencing the plans for football and how Finsbury Park copes with 60k Arsenal fans...... A tiny percentage of Arsenal fans in reality use the GN route,the vast majority use the underground from either Finsbury Park or Arsenal tube stations,plus those that use the bus and drive to...

Wow dumped you say at East Croydon, what a desolate back water with absolutely no facilities available whilst you waited for 30 agonising mins due to an unbelievable excuse being used

You were that amazed you posted it on here to ensure they didn't ?

Not jealous much are we ? Does the thought of someone holding a more responsible job then yourself really mean you have to come up with a question like this ? Let me guess you failed the assessment right and you have been bitter ever since ? I hope and expect Aslef to join the fight to...

between New Barnet and Finsbury Park you travelled under single line working on the down fast in the up direction, hence the movement at New Barnet to take you from the Up lines to the down fast

The train before reported the flooding so an Ecs with a mom was sent to investigate, quite a big explosion happened when they shorted out the electrics, their was I believe at least 4 drill bits found plus damage to roof where other holes had been drilled. Tbh very scary **** and potentially an...

Hertford North has 3 platforms and an up siding with limited space, trains this morning had to be shunted from platform 2 to 1 via the siding to free up the platform for arrivals, during the day trains are stabled in the sidings so this rules out the shunt. If u can't shunt then like mine this...

The Letchworth services from moorgate were being run all stations to ally pally then fast to Stevenage via the mainline which is why he was there

The thing is with these areas is that they contain safety equipment such as ladders, if u know what u are doing you can also access the equipment cupboard as well as switching off some off the safety equipment ( I won't go into to detail as I'm sure someone will go looking for it). It is...

Trouble with twitter is that it's open season for idiots, one troll has copied two tweets from a colleague recently to our company account. His first crime was to say he was having a glass of sherry after a long day so this troll starts asking the company why he needs to drink, couldn't he...

MR Moo A very moving and well written post, I'm pretty certain the driver you met that day went on to become my driver trainer. If it was and I'm pretty certain he was then I can tell you he's doing fine, I know he was affected in his own way as he's told me the story but in general just like...

Due to engineering works your train shunted at New Barnet from the up slow to the down fast, you then travelled wrong direction under single line working from New Barnet to finsbury park where you travelled back onto the up fast It could well have been a reinstated service, I know there was...

FARCE ! No not really the bomb squad were investigating someone who either had or had planted explosive materials on a train, maybe next time they shouldn't bother and just wait to see what happens that way everyone gets home on time, well unless theirs an explosion and then some people sadly...

Mmm this thread was slightly late starting this year. Please bear in mind as a railway employee I work in the private sector, yes the TOCS are private sector due to the fact they are err privatised. Therefore I for one won't ever contemplate giving up my Christmas Day and boxing with my family...

Well I will tell you know on the DOO route I drive the train would never leave any platforms if everyone was onboard during the peak, I'm gonna be very interested to see what ASLEF make of this from a DOO point of view, I must have dispatched myself thousands of times with people next to doors...

Words fail they really do ( well no actually they don't but if I respond to your post in the manner it deserves I'd get banned), perhaps just for a moment you will stop to remember someone has died

Can't work more than 12 hours in a shift Must have 12 hours rest between shifts No more than 72 hrs in any 7 day period Can't work more than 13 consecutive days without a day off The rules above can only be broken in the event of an Emergency and you must be authorised by senior mgmt, so...

Would it surprise non railway people on here if I said drivers and other grades get no formal first aid training at all, personally I think its criminal, so I paid for myself to take a NHS run resuscitation course. IMHO all drivers/ guards and platform staff should be trained
