No - for SWR held at Waterloo. I did give her a sideways look when going in the loo as if to say "you're not coming in are you?"..

At my recent medical, I was initially nervous that the OH lady would want to be "witnessing" my urine sample being produced but all I needed to do was empty my pockets, we walked to the men's toilet, she then checked the room and left me alone...The container was handily wide enough for the job...

Can anyone post the shift patterns for SWR mainline drivers based at Woking depot? Many thanks

Can any one say what the shift pattern for mainline driver for SWR based at Woking depot is at all please?? Thank in advance.

Many thanks - much appreciated.

Hi Stigy - would you happen to know if there is staff/train driver parking at Woking depot and whether it's free or not?

OK - thanks for the quick reply..

Here is part of a current advert for a qualified driver for GWR..Oxford and Reading station... Qualified Train Driver - East (8305) Salary: £50,977 per annum. At GWR, we're looking for Qualified Train Drivers who want to deliver a different kind of rail service. Where rewards are first class...

Can anyone say what the accrual rate is eg 1/60th (2/3 final salary after 40 years service) or 1/80th (half salary) etc?

Doesn't the qualified driver pay from April 2019 go to £62k or thereabouts?

I passed my assessments in November 2017 and still waiting! I pestered HR as well to be told I am in a talent pool and may be selected at any time. HR don't make the selections so it's out of their hands.

Yes I'm still waiting after a year! As Val3entine says above - my next steps are indeed the interviews. I also received an email a couple of months ago to reapply under the First Group system. Passed those online tests as well. I don't think it's appropriate to pester the HR dept as I was told...

I applied for Woking - sat and passed the assessments last November (2017) and still waiting to progress from that....

Thanks for the heads up - only Guildford depot was listed on Wednesday night till 22:30!
