Talking I got the job! Somehow!

Well after screwing up the interview last week, I thought I failed.
But I didn't! Yipee for me!
Just need to not mess up the medical check, and I will be training as a train driver at the end of May!
BTW anybody know what goes on at medical checks? Never done one and really don't want to fail at this stage
err..

'Lie on your side on the couch please sir, while I just put my rubber glove on!'

Seriously though. Railway companies generally have very strict drugs and alcohol policies, and you will have to give a urine sample for testing. Hope you haven't done any drugs for a few months!

If it is an occy-health medical then it'll be a chat about medical history, eyesight (colour-blindness if you are going trackside) etc and peeing in a cup.

Sight, hearing, heart, reflexes, body fluids (no, not that one ). General fitness to drive a train.

Well done, these jobs are rarely advertised and usually oversubscribed.
