YEEEEEEHAW Getin in :D
Yesterday, I had my Train Driver assessment at the EWS training center in Doncaster.
I'm pleased to say I passed it with nearly top marks
Only problem is now, the E30 has to go, but that is advertised in the for sale area ( https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=220128 )
I've heard on the grapevine that there is a training course starting in December and I may well be on that
yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't want outgoings like loans and other crap, running a cheepo diesel car will be more than adequate for me over the next year

I'll still be with Northern, Steve
However, I hope to work for Freightliner in a few years time - basic for them boys is £38k for 1056 hours a year, anything over the contracted 1056 hours is banked and you receive a cheque at the end of the year - its not unheard of for drivers there to receive a cheque for £25000
No wonder they are all driving round in brand new porche's, audi's and bmw's

Unfortunatley 2 more people passed than they had room for, never happened before, so I lost out.
GUTTED
30k+ job out the window after all that...
