    A career as a signaller

    Yeah, I did wonder afterwards about just saying yes to relocating, but if I know I can't do it I didn't feel like lying would have got me anywhere.

    Southern trainee train driver job on their website

    Hi folks I've noticed that two questions are almost identical - on the supporting information it asks: Now that you've read more about the job, please tell us why you're applying for it and what knowledge or skills you have that might be relevant. Then on the competency questions page, again...
