    Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

    Why is it the IETs use the front pan? I thought the convention was rear pan?

    D&G Buses

    I think the 82, along with 31 and 37 were always well suited to Deckers. Certainly Stagecoach's 84 has healthy numbers still too!

    D&G Buses

    D&G have been borrowing buses from Chaserider and Centrebus since last April on-and-off and they have had quite a few new to them vehicles (noted by northwichcat!) so I think they do have the ability - it's also a case of using a bus you own for longer is more economic. I did spot one of the 09...

    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    Thanks both! I should have probed a bit more with the OPC - it's all rather confusing in some ways but as I've got the minimum on all of them it is good - he said I had lost a life with WMT but didn't specify that it was all operators who needed Enhanced standards (for example, if I went for...

    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    I completed my Stage 1 recently with WMT - on that thread, I mentioned that I received some feedback from the OPC late on Friday, and it turns out I passed 4 of the 5 to the WM Enhanced Standard (the Group Bourdon, TRP 1, TRP 2 and DFFT) and passed the TEA-OCC to National Standard but not the WM...

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    I hope everyone's Stage 2 starts to go well from this week! I received some feedback from the OPC late on Friday, and it turns out I passed 4 of the 5 to the WM Enhanced Standard (the Group Bourdon, TRP 1, TRP 2 and DFFT) and passed the TEA-OCC to National Standard but not the WM Enhanced...

    I think some people were hearing within a week so you never know!

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    I see, thanks for that. I appreciate that, I hope I can find out whether I failed on which test and if I passed, which standard I passed to. For all I know, I may have failed on the DFFT but did okay on the others so! Thank you, the 15th PM.

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    I've no idea, sadly I just got a "you won't be progressing on this occasion and we can't provide feedback" email on this occasion. I have emailed the OPC for some feedback so I will hear back in 2 weeks max I hope! 1709032838 Thank you, I did the online form so they will ring me back! What do...

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    Would it be more valuable to split the 8 car 222s into the 4 car ones? So you have 21 5 car and 4 7 car which could be used on fixed formations?

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    Thank you, I'm still nervous. Don't think I did that well but I suppose you never know

    Congrats! I did mine on last Thursday but haven't heard back yet.

    Rail Reform Bill published

    At least the industry has some certainty now draft legislation is tabled. Will take a year or two I expect for the required scrutiny and can be used as a stick to hit NR with for CP8 onwards

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    That is not ideal, I am assuming the assessment centre is further away than your applied for depot? He did explain obviously different enhanced standards are different but I think in the main you only do the ones you need i.e DFFT and anything else

    Rail Reform Bill published

    As it is only being brought as a draft, I think it will be brought into the next Parliamentary session (post-GE effectively) Within the document "DELEGATED POWERS MEMORANDUM: RAIL REFORM BILL" on Page 3, it says "Secretary of State Transfer Scheme To empower the Secretary of State to make...

    WMT - Trainee Driver (Talent Pool) - Crewe / Shrewsbury / Leamington Spa (27/12/23)

    Sorry to hear, that is annoying! The guy who did my Stage 1 Assessment did go through the database to check them before starting

    D&G Buses

    As far as I know no Network North funding has been assigned against it - the last batch Cheshire West and Chester got was BSIP+ that ended up getting spent on the Chester Park and Ride. Certainly the registration here suggests "no" to subsidy which for the purposes of this it would have to tick?
