Who's got a black MR2 in Cardiff?

Spotted one today in the carpark at Canton depot with a Pistonheads sticker on the back window. Anyone's on here?

Yep, that would be right as the other booking on point is at central. I've found out he's a fellow Arriva trains Wales driver - small World.

How are you enjoying working as a train driver then? I remember when you first posted and it made me so envious. I always wanted to be a train driver when I was a kid. lol. have you worked on the Valley Lines yet?

It's a lot of training, after 4 months I'm still only half way through. Hard work learning all the rules and regs, spending 7 hour days in the classroom then a further 2-3 hours an evening on revision. Hopefully it'll all be worth it.

I'll be driving the training train next month on one of the valley lines, but I'll be driving routes in Shrewsbury normally. I keep updating that thread if you did want to check on my progress, I hope it's interesting for anyone else wanting to become a driver.

Na, I'm only here in the week (staying at the Holiday Inn in Castle street) and will be back home from Friday for 16 days solid. Looking forward to having the time to finish off my track car.

Drop us a PM if you fancy a pint one night in the week Ben.
