But I will share it anyway.

 

I have just sat through the most intense and difficult course that you could imagine. 4 weeks of AC Capacitor fed Track Circuits. (its a railway thing).

Anyway the point is that next week is the start of a week of assessments. Monday morning is the Writen Theory. 3 and a half hours long. Then on Tuesday the Practicles start right through until Friday afternoon and they are a b'stard. So if you would be so kind..................Wish me luck coz I think I am going to need all the luck I can get. I will say though. I have learned an awful lot about electrical therory and all that OHMs law stuff. So it has been rather interesting.

 

Vini

good luck vinni, come and sort our track circuit out after network rail here no fooking good point failures, signal failure and signals going back on us :smash:

Good luck mate. When I read AC Capacitor fed Track Circuits I actually thought you were training to become a professional scalextrix driver. But best of luck.

best of luck vinny ;) it would be a lot easier if you never bunked school you know, anyway full respect for anyone who keeps upgrading there strives in life

Thanks lads. Dare I mention its for london underground. Still lets hope this new influx of EX British rail/Network rail staff will get the underground running on time?????

 

(A VERY BOLD STATMENT ME THINKS)............... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oooooooooooooo I feel for you Vin. I've just finished two weeks on SMTH and a week on COSS (Vini knows what I'm on about ;) ) As mine ran out about six years ago. I'm now working for the S&T Faulting & Maintenance dept at Grantham covering Lincolnshire regional railway lines (Skeggy, Lincoln, Boston, Gainsborough etc)for Network Rail :D :smash:

 

I wish you all the best of luck for next week mate!

best of luck bud, im sure you will sail through what ever they throw at ya, if not just take them for a spin in your 205 mph zed

SMTH. I remember it well. I have re sat that 3 times now. It was a requirment of this new job along with the IRSE licence. I have almost sacked the underground on 2 occasions in the past 5 weeks to get my old SMTH job back. But I think I will stick it out at least until the new year. LOL. The underground system is total overkill with regard to their signalling system. Mind you they have never had one train collide with another? I would explain the set up but i might get banned for being an anorac. :rofl: :rofl:

 

You might be right Carl......... ;)
