    I'm 43 , it wasn't distance from depot that was a problem , I live 10 minutes away from Reading ,and could make Paddington station in under an hour from where I live .

    No I didn't get as far as an interview , I was rejected at the on-line application form stage . They didn't give a reason , but did say it wasn't their policy to give feed back , so I'll never know although I'm pretty sure it was my age . :(

    I rang the HR to ask a question about something else , and whilst I was on the phone to them I asked how many Trainee posts there were ,and she said 16.
