He asked for 1st price with his disabled railcard as the train was full and standing and he needed a seat due to his disability!

So I had a member of another toc ask to buy a 1st priv so I asked to see his card and he produced priv card and a disabled railcard card which entitles 1st class. I sold it to him and got into trouble from my managers, but I disagreed as I think if he’s registered disabled he should be allowed...

Oh thanks bionic. That’s a relief

so it was along-ish wait guys and girls but I finally had my medical yesterday! It was such short notice, had a call the Thursday asking if I could start in two weeks. I was so nervous about my medical as I had had a boozy 40th birthday party on the Wednesday and have no idea how long alcohol...

How did it go Dan?

Hi dan, I’d say go to a quiet room nd try to be relaxed as possible as they are timed questions. No one ever answers them all so focus on accuracy. I’m currently waiting for my training date. This is the first of two rounds of assessments, of you pass this you will have a similar exam style...

hi everyone, Just checking in to see if anyone has any idea on the next intake for trainee conductors. I’m in the pool for Hastings currently. Thanks in advance

Hi Gary, If you get offered the role it will make you’re previous pool position invalid and you will be removed from that first pool. I’d just sit tight with you’re pool position. Hope that helps

Which spot are you DM92?

Thanks for replies everyone. I was just a little nervous with the latest news regarding govia as I’ve waited a year now, I know it’s not long compared to others but to me a year seems a long time since having a manager interview. I really hope the September course goes ahead and that I’m on it.

I’m in the conductor pool for Hastings with southeastern.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether my position would be affected if Govia lose the franchise. I’ve had my DMI and am just awaiting a course date at present. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I’m sure you’ll be fine dude! congrats on getting to this point in the application. What actually happens at the medical?

Depends if they have a full pool or not. Mine was within two days of passing. But some people have waited a year just for an interview, best advice is to just have some patience
