    Although a new role does anyone have any insight if there is scope for overtime and if the annual leave is rostered or booked ? Will TFL allow me to take it the annual leave as a month block ?

    Aspiring Train Driver aged 17

    If you can have a look at the London Underground apprenticeship, if you don't mind locating that is. Consider any LU role after 6 months probation you could drive from 18 rather then 21 on the mainline.

    What powers do station security actually have?

    In a nutshell the vast majority of the time they can do all of the above, but no TOC will support use of force if someone wants to walk away.

    TfL (London Underground) CSA

    Although it would pay similar to jobs at other TOCs for myself to be go back to similar money as I get now if I did get deskilled to CSA2 would be very disappointing after just a year on better money for a job I'd get less satisfaction from. You'd at the end of the 12 months be fully...

    TfL (London Underground) CSA

    It's a big put of for quite a few people it only being a fixed term contact. TFL won't offer any assurances about possible renewable but in the past most have been, but nothing for certain. What's the odds of your contract not being renewed but being offered a lower grade roll under fit for...
