Has the new kenilworth station been built yet?

It is due in December... But as for Coventry Arena and Bermuda Park... Nothing has been announced on that since September...

Information concerning Coventry Arena & Bermuda Park appears confusing at the moment.
1. National Rail Enquiries do not recognise the stations
2. London Midland show the stations but state there is no service within the next hour.
3. Real TimeTrains appear to show the service in operation.

Kenilworth Station is due to open in December 2016, i visited the site a few months ago which had been cleared but no materials for building were about.

Don't think that LM are entirely sure about what is going on

I never realised train drivers got such good pay. 47K will do nicely. Any recommendations if I was to pursue this career?

Not an easy job to get into - but rewarding and secure if you do. Really to be in the best place to become one you need to do a job of responsibility beforehand (bus driving even). Or alternatively work a couple of years on the railways in another position before applying for driving (station role or guard). The application process is rigorous with aptitude tests and interviews, and you need a decent academic record. The TOCs want the best suited people for the role due to the high level of responsibility involved and the absolute need for the employee to be reliable and dependable. However if you're committed, hard working, have good situational awareness and show a genuie interest in the railways, sure you can do it.  I know someone who is a driver who loves the job who started as a guard at the same company.

It's at Rugeley, so take a wild guess out of all the routes LM operate which could it possibly be?

That's a 153/170 that's what threw me. any 153/150 combos are from a few years back, so harder to remember

I'm off to fetch a 323 back from Crewe LNWR shortly. It's running as 5L01 and booked 18.30 departure from  Crewe if any one is interested in viewing it. I will update the info if things change.
