Hope the interview went well for you - that's going to be some commute on a daily basis though!
Just been formally offered the job - will be starting at the London office in a couple of weeks and moving to the Hengoed site once my living arrangements are sorted out. I'm really happy about this - my last job ended at Christmas (although I'm officially on 'gardening leave' until 10th February) and the lease on my flat runs out in April, so I was facing a lot of uncertainty on what to do next - with the job offer, the future is a lot clearer!

Cheers

Tim

09:58 Maidenhead-Reading
10:41 Reading-Cardiff Central
12:35 Cardiff Central-Llanishen

14:49 Heath High Level -Cardiff Central
15:25 Cardiff Central-Reading
17:48 Reading-Maidenhead

House-hunting in Cardiff! Think I've found a place 5 minutes walk from Llanishen station (althogh technically in Lisvane) - if it works out, will be about a 40-minute commute to the new job in Hengoed. Looking to sign the lease by the start of March; will permanently relocate around the 10th of March if all goes to plan.

Cheers!

For disclosure, I am affiliated with a third party developer however, I do not know anything about any future releases unless I'm working on them and even then, I'd be breaking years worth of built up trust to say anything about it ;-)

When I went to Edinburgh recently (see airport post!) I went over the Forth Bridge, something I have always wanted to do.

Waiting for the train back to Waverley at North Queensferry, a loco hauled train came the other way only for my train to arrive at the same time and pull in front of me !

Would it have been this sort of service Martin?

Yep, DBS run 4 loco-hauled trains a day on the Fife Circle for Scotrail - 2 in the morning peak and 2 in the evening peak. My train was hauled by 67018 ('Ed Heller' with the special Maple Leaf livery); the other train was hauled by 67004.
