He's been there 11 years now and I was under the impression he had applied three times without success but not completely sure. Think he was given false promises but 600 applicants for a guards job is staggering. He's probably resigned to his role now as he turned 50 last year, still a shame though, he gets the 9 letter conundrum on Countdown quicker than anyone I know!
Cheers, I will pass your comments on to my mate, he will probably know him, Mark Redford.A family member works for NR. He started as a guard with the plan to apply for a drivers job. He failed twice on the co-ordination tests and at that stage that was it, you couldn't apply again. However they changed this at some point and he got a third attempt and passed. He trained last year and is now driving.
He reckons they have enough drivers but it's cheaper to cancel a train than pay the overtime to the drivers on standby.

Bang on pal,its baffling how I keep landing on my feet in life.well I can only go off FI's modding, but if he can get the gig despite that, then anyone can.
I only asked as Dunneymonster quoted differently to the two strikes rule.I guess if passengers and trains go missing randomly much like posts and posters do when you're around, then we can start to worry.
