Don't worry if you have not had a rejection yet you're in the pool waiting for new training courses to come up which I have heard there are plenty of

As someone who has recently joined the railway coming from 10 years in the breakdown recovery trade the shifts are extremely good

Just for everyone's peace of mind, not that you would have to wait as long as I did but I waited nearly 5 years (applied right before covid so it all got delayed) but i just emailed them every few months, sometimes they replied, sometimes they didnt, but if you had failed to proceed youd have...

If you done your assessment day they last 4-5 years I believe so yes you will get through to the interviews again. They MAY ask you to do the initial online scat test again possibly, but id have said that falls into the 5 year thing too.

They are not looking for speed, they are looking for accuracy over speed, quick is good but they was accuracy more so. I dont think you can finish most the tests they do. When I did it in 2020 and again in 2024 I thought I was slowest on all of them but both times passed with ease. So dont...

Im fairly sure 387 and 377s will qork together IF the 387 is boxed in with two 377s Ie 377-387-377 So i overheard, someone may correct me on that. (Not that this is ever done anyway) 1760740075 Yes, 6 series and 7 series are a "hybrid" so they have some 387 parts but the electronics are of a...

Fair enough, I know with drivers you have plenty of time to order and recieve them do dont threat

Not sure about OBS, footware would be different as its not safety critical you wouldn't need ateel toe caps i dont think.

You will get an email from a seperate company about footware it will be sent to your work email (which you will get acccess to on induction day) I believe they are called tower footware or something. There you can select your style. Driver just need to make sure they are S3 steel toe cap. You...

The sizes are tricky as they dont seem to match what you'd expect, everyone have trouble with it, at least for the mens stuff anyway lol they are pretty good if something turns up and it doesn't fit etc they will always change items.

Fair enough thay will make all the difference for a commute! Glad you finally have a date, now it all becomes real

you can apply.for a depot change whilst in training, but there could be a waiting list 1758889145 Oh I just seen this, nice one! You would have been fine at Brighton, both Brighton and Barnham are great depot and both sign mostly the same routes but glad you made it to barnham, by sounds of it...

Congratulations, what's your next stage? Have you done the assessment day?

Did they say how long to expect? When I went through it, they usually told me to give it 7 days. If nothing, email them to chase it.

It is chilled, its more the managers getting to know you and the type of person you are to see if you're the right person for the job. So I wouldn't worry about that. No news is good news in my book aswell, how long ago was it?
