I am so so happy!! LOROL are taking me on as a Trainee Train Driver in May! I just got the call so I am still all shaky and excited and have kissed about three random people in my office already. :oops:

It was tough but I got there.

Big thank you to everybody who helped me with my enquiries along the way.

As for the people in my office I think they just think I have finally flipped and have started a small emotional breakdown. :oops:

Did 14 years on t' railway before i took the plunge. As long as you keep your nose clean, work in with you colleagues & set your alarm, then you can't go wrong. Best move i made.

Well done fella. Live the dream! As others have said, hard work to come, but it is all worth it. The more you put in, the more you will get out. Keep us informed how you go with your trials on your path to the best seat with the best view!

I'm not known for being annoying so you should be fine with me....random kissing is not a usual trait either, but if that happened when I just got the job imagine what will happen when I pass my drivers test?! Pucker up :lol:

Good Luck but you wont need it if you study and do the very best you can in the assessment. If when I came out of doing the tests that I truley believed I couldn't have done any better then I was happy even if I didn't pass.

You'll sweat and your heart will pulse throughout but thats how you knoe you want it more than anyone else. :D

Congratulations and welcome to the rest of your life!

Prepare to become all too familiar with times of the morning that you didn't know existed!
