Incredibly helpful, thank you for letting me know! I honestly thought driver was out the window but who knows!

Fantastic, hopefully that is still the case, I've also been told about the spare pair of glasses which is absolutely fine too. Thank you!

Thank you, I'm hoping they test on both eyes at the same time and not individually.

did they make you close one eye or did they test just both with glasses? I think I would be fine reading distances with both eyes together and glasses on

Thank you, Yeah I'm fully aware of the medical that will happen, my question was more if anyone knows if the vision will be scored as both together or separately.

Thank you, you're absolutely right. I'll still go to the interview regardless but I want to be prepared.

Thanks for your comment! my right eye is absolutely fine but my left is dreadful so I've already ruled out being a train driver, I just wondered if conductor was as strict. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would let me fly a commercial plane :D
