[quote user="Rodney Beck"] <p>Hi U.K. no collage I just have a ged I got my ged while I was in the United States Navy. I hired out 5 years ago as a conductor and bid in to engine service spent 6 months doing training, had a 100 qusetion mech test, a 150 question air brake train handleing test and a 150 question gcor test along with 2 sim runs above 90%. Every since I have been set up as a engineer I have had a lot of funn running trains, and learn more with every trip I get.</p><p> </p><p>Rodney</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I did a 15 month training course,then did 225 hours driving with an instructor.With many assessments in that time I thankfully was passed to drive.Each engine or train has a course too.I think the pendolino one was 5 weeks but i might be wrong.How long are your shifts?Do you stay out anytime in the week?Ive been on night's this week ,shunting in the depot,taking train's through the wash etc.On the London run next week.</p>
