Anyway Good luck! What Traction you hopefully going to be doing - Remember ALWAYS Carry a camera around with you.

 

[mbonwick]

I'd guess 170/156/others that I can't think of

 

[Nick]

As said on MSN, best of luck mate....if you do get it theres hope for the rest of us

 

[Craig]

Do you know what depot it's for?

It would be interesting to see a log of your progress.

 

[David]

Thanks for your replies so far everyone. If I get the job, i'll be re-locating north of the border. Hopefully, I'll get my preferred depot as well. I've gone for Perth, but there is 4 other depots looking for drivers as well.

Cheeky bugger hock:

If I get the job, I'll start a blog for everyone to laugh at my shortcomings

 

[mbonwick]

Which traction will you be driving?

 

[Tom]

The ones he doesn't crash.....

 

[David]

Which traction will you be driving?

All depends on where I'm based (assuming I get the job).

 

[Max]

Best of luck David! Let's hope you have better fortune than your fantasy football team!

 

[eifion]

Good Luck Mate.

 

[Techniquest]

Good luck Dave. I'd have gone for it myself if I could. Alas, not the case.

Do keep us posted on progress!

 

[Mojo]

Lots of people seem to be applying for jobs lately!

Good luck anyway!

 

[tedted]

A long way to go but hopefully you'll get there

 

[Tom B]

Good luck! Even if it does mean your abandoning these parts .

 

[D306]

Best of luck. I want to work with Govia (company taking over silverlink)because I can get to work easily from where I live. When I've finished my GCSE's (Later this year :neutral, then when I go on to do A-Levels (I hope(mainly because I want to get into my schools sixth form.))

Perth is mostly 158 / 170. possibly also 156's. They are the diesel side of things.

Some Waverley ones will sign 322/318 for the North Berwick service, and the Glasgow guys on the electric side sign 314/318/320/322.

No chance. Nath theres a thing called 'days off' which means he will be doing it 24/7 just not every day now , and no two tones if you go up therehock:

You forgot the 334s! Glasgow Electric lines could all see visits from Junipers and I beileve some Edinburgh staff are trained on them, although they have yet to be used in passenger service to North Berwick.

 

[Jim]

Hard choice, living in Scunthorpe or Scotland!

Don't think so, certainally not Haymarket anyway.

 

[mbonwick]

Well, having the guts to apply for a job perhaps deserves congratulating?

Very True! Applying is one thing, sadly getting is quite another!

 

[David]

It's not having the guts to apply for it, it's the guts required to make my mind up about getting out of here and relocating to somewhere in Scotland.

Once again, thanks for your replies everyone. I'll keep you all updated as to what's happening.

 

[The 158 Man]

Good luck David.

I'm hoping one day I'll get to drive 158s myself!
