    Bus preservation storage near north west london

    This is my first time so im not too fussed about those things and can adjust depending on what people might be able to offer. Storage wise, it would ideally be in a secure area, I dont mind either open or closed. In terms of access, as i am a full time bus driver, i dont have alot of time so its...

    TfL bus operator nominee passes

    Hi guys, just a quick question to see if anyone knows this one. Are we allowed to choose any family member living in the household for this pass or does it have to be a dependant as per NR? cheers!

    Staff Pas not working at LU and NR station

    Hi guys, Just a quick question. I attempted to use my GTR staff pass at Harrow and Wealdstone Station earlier today. The guy at the ticket office said that even though it is valid for the Southern services that go through there, as its underground gates, it won't let me though. I was just...

    Network Rail roles with driving license as desirable but I don't have one?

    I'm 17, and my dream job is to work in the railway industry. I managed to successfully get a job with GTR and I didn't have everything in the desirable section but I gave it my all at the interviews and really sold myself. I'm sure you'll get an interview and when you do, just sell yourself and...

    Network Rail roles with driving license as desirable but I don't have one?

    You'll be fine. I doubt you won't get to the interviews because of not holding a driving licence. bear in mind the list of desirable there is very small so I'd take it that they are pretty much just looking for the requirements.

    Network Rail roles with driving license as desirable but I don't have one?

    What's the role you've applied for. I applied for a role at GTR, didn't have everything in the desirable section and just about met requirements and managed to bag the role so desirable isn't everything but I'd assume it probably depends highly on the role you've gone for. Either way, don't look...

    Railway worker fatally struck by train at Purley (06/11)

    The incident is truly sad and tragic as well as the report that details the causes. My thoughts are with the family and train driver. It just goes to show that there need to be more rigorous protection and safety procedures in place

    Appalled at what I just witnessed on TfW

    Ah right, didn't know as I have no idea about those areas lol. Still, I think it would have just made sense to allow the travel, the passenger had a long night due to reasons out of his control.
