Bit of an odd one, not really sure this is the right section for this thread, however ...
I was due to be assessed for my driver finals before training was put on hold at the beginning of ‘lockdown’. So since the beginning of March (I had some annual leave too), I haven’t driven a train or put Rules into actual practice.
I received an email today inviting me for my Part 2 on the 10th July, this is the Sims section, and that’s great news, however, I’m concerned that being out of practice for so long may have some effect. I am on top of rules, but that’s only in regards to reading my notes, putting them into practice may be completely different, and everybody knows, it’s 2 goes and you’re out!
I have been told that I can get some time with my DI beforehand to go through whatever I need, however I am not really sure the best method of putting this stuff into practice. It’s not possible for me to use the simulators before my assessment and tabletop train kits really don’t have the same sort of training benefit for me personally, it really feels like you’re just reading from the book and there is no pressure or realism to it!
Any suggestions, hints, tips will be most welcome!
