Fantastic. This seems almost too good to be true. Late and early starts are nothing to me, so no worries, but was a bit concerned about giving up almost every weekend as I am a single father, but this seems fine too. Let's just hope I pass the medical, assuming I'm not a smack head, alcoholic...

Thanks for all your help, Skoodle. I assume the Saturday and Sundays off will generally be grouped together, so you have both off rather than just one?

Thanks mate. How many Saturdays and Sundays do you get off on average?

Thanks for the reply. How about Saturdays? Do you only get Saturdays off during that 7 day weekend?

Thanks mate. My interview was on the 7th And I was informed on Monday this week, the 13th. If it helps at all my interview was delayed by 2 weeks as I had just started another new job (good job, but I've wanted to be a TD for a decade now so this must take priority), and could not...

I then realised that helping him would actually reduce my chances of success so didn't post. I feel pretty damn guilty now but I have to be pragmatic and...

I remember what I did on each day but forgotten the terms they used. Can you let me know whether that's your first or second assessment day?

It is Arriva rail London. If successful I'd be based at new cross gate.

Hi guys, First time poster. I have used this forum on numerous occasions throughout the years but never posted. I have been lucky enough to pass the 2 separate days of assessments with Arriva, and now am at the final stage - the line manager interview. I was just wondering if any of you have...
