Since the middle of last year. Either way I am not fussed as I have applied for various jobs and getting good responses. Now I have all the paperwork its now deciding which employer is the best. I am keeping this offer as an insurance job incase all my other offers fall through.

After waiting along time the offer letter/contracts/uniform request have finally come through.... Still undecided as I have applied for other jobs ....

The attendance varies... There were meant to be 13 in my group but 9 turned up... I know 2 were late and turned away and the rest never showed up. Adding to my original post on the thread there is a presentation (group work). You cant really prepare for this as you don't know what subject...

From the sounds of it as the OSI at Wimbledon is within 15 mins the extension fare is NR+LU. If the interchange is more than 15 mins then the system will treat it as a separate journey. My best advice is use a separate Oyster card for the extension journey to avoid the combined fare of NR+LU...

I have also received the failure email as well. However on another note I do have one outstanding job application with TPE and also a firm offer with Metrolink. All is not lost for me.....

Does this also apply to people that wear glasses as well?

I am meant to be working for Metrolink. I don't quite understand why it has taken over 5 months for Metrolink to get back to candidates....They haven't bothered to give us clear timeframes on when training starts. I have had my medical in late Jan but haven't heard back since.. I have since...

Can anyone confirm what is the % of salary given for shift allowance for drivers?

That was exactly what I was getting when I worked with TfL for four years (having just quit a few months back) :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Good Luck... Once you pass telephone interview..... They normally get you to do an written assessment + role play and if your...
