Thanks guys, I've reached out to them.

Hi, looking for some advice please, my daughter finished uni in the summer to take a year out before returning for a further two years and Ive been wondering who to send her card back to before reapplying in September. Is it RSTL who I need to contact or the TOC itself? Many thanks

Further to this, does anyone have a copy of their roster (names removed obvs) where they have managed to create 3 links successfully? By that I mean 1 link for earlies only, 1 link for back shift only, and 1 link for alternating early/back shift? At my depot we have a sizable number who prefer...

Yeah, pretty much. Getting off at Carlisle and heading back to Perth. The train is continuing South though.

Yeah moving again, but southward. Bailing at Carlisle as plans ruined. They did offer to book us alternative flights to be fair to them.

I've heard that we are going back to Edinburgh now. Probably makes sense given the length of delay, crews hours etc.

Ah thanks, not far away now hopefully. Can't see it going forward to London now.

Is that Tony green ex perth?

I blame Brexit.

Cheers. We are still stationary and no sign of a loco. Train is in darkness and pretty tomb-like. Wonder how long it will block the main line for. Any other time of the day and it would be carnage.

It's broken down. Lost power. Getting dragged back to Edinburgh possibly. Been somewhere near Carstairs for nearly 3 hours. Was supposed to be flying to France today. Ah well.

cheers mate! just need to rent my house out now to help to pay for it :wink:

Yes, thats what happened in my case. I applied for a trainee driver position at chingford having done my opc with scotrail, but as I understand it those were all taken by depot drivers from ilford moving across. This left 6 full time depot driver vacancies at Ilford, one of which I was lucky...

emailed sandra at hr last week, still no news but keep in touch. Does anyone how long are the test results valid for, or is it different for each toc? Good luck to anyone else waiting as well, its like chinese water torture isn't it.
