Good to meet you mateYes mate. Same, glad you got through too
I have no idea for North unfortunately but fingers cross won't be long mateThank you for that. I'm guessing those courses are for South. Fingers crossed we will get some info for Chester.
Well done to everyone passing their paper tests recently and good luck with stage 2!
Thanks for the info!
How you finding the course?
Well done guys/girls and good luck on the next stage
It's a great course but alot to process and remember hence why it's a 9 month course. Hardest part is getting the driving hours to be honest, DIs take leave or you are spare. Need a set amount of hours and its difficult to reach them.Thanks for the info!

Not sure saying that about them will help your chancesHad that email as well, I've got just over a year left on my psychometric results so I'm hoping they either pull their finger out or I hear off GB railfreight in the meantime.

It's a fair comment I thought. I understand the frustration but they are here and it won't be too difficult for them to work it out.Oh right, because I've given my name and details on here.....
It's nice to have been given an update though, been a long time in limbo.
Sorry to hear that but you will smash it next time. Thank you for warning.So, I sat my stage 2 tests today (computers) passed the vigilance and perception tests with flying colours and failed on the 2 hand after my left hand handle came off from the joystick, so just as a pre warning to all you guys who are sitting them soon, be careful with your joysticks! After I mentioned it I was told by the assessor that they are meant to do that and encouraged me to apply again after my 6 months are up…
Hi. That’s good news, it’s nice to know you are in the running and haven’t been lost in the system! Who is your contact for info? Did you get in touch with acorn or TfW?I’ve had a lovely reply to my email today saying that my application is still ongoing and that I will be notified of the outcome when it does get sifted so I’m over the moon with that.

Cheers mateFor those still waiting to do their computer tests and in particular the 2 hand coordination all I can say is don't complete the practice test straight away.
Give yourself time to get used to the controls and sensitivity before you move onto the actual test. The test track is also the track you'll actually be maneuvering on the actual test.
Good luck all.
By fall off I think he means they move upwards while your pushing them in direction, and can come off the shaft, I did notice they slide upwards when I was using them and could possibly come off.Very sensitive. The little ball flew off my screen and said "contact test administrator". I obviously thought I was going to fail it after that but managed to pass.
Didn't see one fall off, didn't even know they could so that's an eye opener.
