If you read this back, you might see where you could of been going wrong all this time. You said you passed stage one to the enhanced standard, then explained that actually you didn't, then went on to explain you passed it at the standard level.
If you have passed all the tests to any standard then you haven't failed and still have a chance. Don't give up.
No will definitely keep going! Just not too confident about getting on straight as a driver despite my best and continued efforts. I am looking and open to pretty much any position to get my foot in the door but with me having zero railway experience it seems to be going against me which is fair enough I guess, I recently got shortlisted to the last three of a shunter position with DB and I know there were two other people at the assessment day that had 10 and 20 years railway experience so I imagine it's them that pipped me to the post!
Only way I can think of getting the experience is to work contracting at weekends as I know loads of people who could get me on, but at the moment me and my partner have a young baby so couldn't afford to give my weekday job up and don't think to would go down to well working 7 days a week as need to help out at home! maybe something to think of as little gets older though!
Regards the driver testing I only got a pass for the Group bourdon and enhanced for the other tests on stage 1 testing so overall classed as a pass, was good experience though and hopefully use it with another FOC or TOC just kicking myself over the group bourdon letting me down! I will get there though hopefully the HS2 will bring some work!
Cheers
