Since passing my PTS assessment there hasn't really been an awful lot of note to report. The driver training is still in it's initial induction phase, and we're getting some fairly basic introductions to the various facets of the job of train driver.
As well as classroom sessions and sessions out in the depot we've had out days to the various locations at which we will be based. So far we've had introductions to the publications and notices that drivers are expected to use, arrangements for signing on and off duty and a brief look at some of the more major systems on the Class 317 EMU that forms our basic traction. This week will be spent mostly looking at signalling systems. The tone has been quite relaxed with the emphasis on getting a flavour of each topic before having to worry about getting as heavily engrossed as we will need to be to pass the Rules training that will come later. Even so, it's amazing how much we've all learnt in such a short space of time.
Still haven't even got close to driving a train yet, though.
