Which depot. Euston apparently go up the pay scales quicker than other depots. Apparently you can do RDW while route learning too.
Yeah Euston for me. The money side of things could swing it for me as far as continuing on with the process.

Go on in approx 52/3 I believe then stay on this for approximately 4 months until you sign Wembley depot and Wolverhampton then goes up. Then up again once all routes signed But you don’t go up to 67 until 2 years after you signed it all

I believe it's only one year at Euston.

I put in an application in your name and one at Thameslink station Alban's for you. :D

Just leave the one down the corridor alone, or I’ll come for you in the middle of the night…:D

I wonder how many from our place have put in for Euston this time around. LNER will be the big one, I suspect.

Flunked the rules! But hey ho good luck to everyone else.
Remembering rules is a nightmare. I certainly wouldn’t fancy doing a test even with revision. Was it multiple choice or more like free text written answers if you don’t mind me asking?

It was multiple choice, but a couple I just mis read the answers. It happens I suppose. I also don't sign absolute block and have never earned competency so it threw me

With multiple choice I sometimes rattle through them 2 quick! You will know for next time!
