Watch out for the roof - Network Rail's Wolves depot is a converted grain warehouse and looks a bit dodgy structurally (no change there for all thing NR then). Har, local knowledge eh, I live one stop down the line from you nutter.

You Live in Bilbrook Don't you. Fancy a meet in Wolves soon (short of cash), and anyone else is welcome.

I was wondereing if that was just the oil stores or something because it does look doggy, I did a recce yesterday when it as all shut up

Stay calm. Don't try and look as if you know it all. Take your time with answers and you should be fine. Good luck lad.

Don't eat the sandwiches is always a good tip!

Just got back. Can someone tell me what I was nervous about?

They were so chilled and made me feel really welcome

Alcohol usually does the trick for me...

That is NOT an option for me. My 'mum' is an alcholic (loves the russian stuff ) so I've seen the other side of booze, it's not nice and so I refuse to drink any kind of booze

Alcohol is a good thing in moderation (just don't get drunk the night before you have to get up at 5 in the morning - not good).

Anyway, things appear to have gone well for you, congratulations so far.

On the both recent occasions when ive had to get up quite early the next day, my good friends have bought me too many drinks that night before!

there are other things that can calm you down, but best not get into detail about those either

Also, another thing thats always best is some anti diahorrea pills, as you can always judge that you will be fine all day, but as soon as your name is called.... ottytra:

It wasn't that bad, it was surprisingly informal (railways for certain then). Looking back I didn't do to well but I gave it my best. They threw me off at the start (well, tried and failed) by delaying the interview by 30mins (late, railway trate again ) and then it was just a quick chat, I had that advice from another forum (treat it as a chat rather than an interview). Still lost a good liter of fluid from sweating though (glad I didn't have to shake my hand).
