I've got a day out with an I.O. coming up next week, can anybody inform me of exactly where I need to go to book on?
Many thanks.

top of the stairs from platform 3 & 4, before barriers. brown door on your left. j-door key or buzz in. through the next 2 doors immediately in front of you and you cant miss the DMT desk - it's the one with the person in the white shirt having a nervous breakdown!

If you do get stuck, the station staff are normally pretty good and will "sort you out" ;D ;D ;D Was it your choice to go to Edgware Road or was it decided for you? If you really want a train ops job, I would take everything you are told with a pinch of salt when it comes to H&C/Circle drivers cos they [understanably] hate doing Circles and may end giving you a less than favourable impression. I don't mean that in a nasty sense (just cos I'm on the District), it's just that whenever I've had anything to do with them, they're always less than happy  |

The good thing about being with an I/O from ERD is that the C stock are quite mechanical, and if you end up having a technical discussion you should grasp quite a bit about rolling stock principles. I know that on the DR the C stock is the first stock that someone will train on, as it is harder to learn about than D stock (no TMS, two air systems, older train etc).

LU move customers from A to B, they used to do it via 'C'.

Don't believe a word of it! Edgware Road is a good depot, and you will certainly learn more about the "real world" here than you might at other locations. There's a few miserable gits floating about but every line has a few and you don't have to talk to them anyway. I expect you will enjoy the day.
