Remembering rules is a nightmare. I certainly wouldn’t fancy doing a test even with revision. Was it multiple choice or more like free text written answers if you don’t mind me asking?
I had one last year and came back pretty much straight away. Everyone is different and it’s a very traumatic event. However I took the view that I was no different to any of the passengers on the train.. There’s nothing you can do and you are essentially a ‘passenger’ at that moment. What you...
I had a similar situation, applied for 2 TOCs, however the applications and the process were almost identical time wise, so slightly different to your situation it sounds. Anyway the OPC picked up on it and said I had to choose one TOC to progress with. So it could happen to you in theory if you...
Yeah you’re right with autos on the whole I guess. But sporty motors such as BMWs and Porsches etc are pull back to change up / forward to change down. maybe it’s more a dual clutch thing rather than standard autos. Although DSG cars work like standard autos so that contradicts. Sorry off topic...
If you can provide the right proof of ID when asked and can do the commute without being too tired then go for it. It’s harsh times we live in. Do what you gotta do.
It is and it isn’t.. if you think of the momentum forces involved (you’re pushed back when accelerating and vice versa) it makes sense. It’s the same with modern car gearbox’s. Pull back to change up a gear and push forward to change down.
Depends on passenger loading as well as normal coach weight (e.g pantograph coaches being heavier so running more bar). An empty 315 in the Driving coach (the only gauge you’ll typically see unless prepping) actually corresponds quite closely with the step numbers. Step 1 just above 1 bar, step...
You can only answer the question though.. And that’s how will you get to work? It might be in that section in error or padded out to try and trick you. IMO if you read too much into it and come up with a convoluted answer as equally confusing as the question it won’t look good.
See what you’re saying. However the only actual question in there is how will you get to work if you can’t take public transport. So you just have to answer ‘by car’ or such like, and outline your route to work. I guess they see getting to work as the ‘issue’, and how you get there as the...
