Hello ladies and gents, Any SWT drivers can tell me what they are like to work for and what sort of employer benefits they offer? In particular I'm interested in finding out if they offer a new vehicle scheme like 'Fuel & Go' vehicle leasing?

Did anyone on here attend the DBS medical at Didcot last week? And have you had the results? Waiting to put in my notice within my current role with only days to spare!

Cheers mate, you will have to let me know what the course is like. Are you training at Toton?

Thanks lads, it means the world to me as I currently live 140 miles from my two children and being in Westbury will give me the career I want plus I will now be 5 mins from my kids. Keith I wish you all the best, fingers crossed for you mate

I was lucky enough to get the call back today. I was told my interview went fantastic and I have been offered a place at Westbury. I was over the moon. Was told it's now back over to HR who will contact me with the arrangements.

Thanks for the input guys, as I guessed there is much more to it than what us outsiders believe, but I'm not hearing anything that would put me off. Had a call yesterday to say I have my depot managers interview on the 27th and I literally cannot wait. Any tips on how the interviews are...

Well let me start by saying I've spent the last ten years as a police officer in the met. Early starts are no issue I'm used to them and I'm also used to working alone for long periods. I am still massively interested and it's not the shifts or driving I'm querying, I'm just interested to...

Hello guys I've been looking at retraining as a freight train driver and it's something that appeals to me massively, but I have come to realise I don't know a great deal about it. Much like my current job, people think they know what it's like from the outside based on what they see in...

Hi LC, The wait is killing me, so excited to get things moving and get started. Well done with the assessments. Where have you applied for?

I applied in November/december off the top of my head, and had my assessments and interview on the 13th Feb.
