Smart casual. It can be a long gruelling day so you need to be comfortable. I got the job wearing smart casual to assessment so it won’t make a difference about wether you get the job or not. If you make it to interview then definitely wear suit and tie and polish your shoes lol

At BMH we have staff taxis 1 in the morning and 1 late at night. All depots vary!!

Yes it is mate and it's usually called the halfords side.

It means the train has gone into default mode (safety mode). It can depend on the stock but on a 444 only the front 3 coaches will open as 3 coaches would fit on every station on our network. The announcement is automated due to default.

In the train crew messroom. Shared with guards!!

Staff DONT hide they are trying to find information to pass to our passengers. Also the help points centre is not based in India!!!

Its 35-36k, even more if u work free days and its 5% commission on all tickets sold.

Alright mate, ring recruitment as I got told 7-10 days but I rang them on day 10, 12 & again on the 14th day and told me I got the job. So ring them every couple of days and it looks good as it shows you really want it too!!!

I'm the manager at SWT and your no longer invited to assessment!!!! Only kidding!!! Why don't you got to the station and speak to the current CO3 and ask them questions and ask to speak to the manager about the station. I did this when I first started and got the job!! Don't worry about the...

No they don't bud as there's a waiting list which is 6 years plus. Internal staff can apply but we have also got to wait in the waiting list. Try phoning SWT recruitment and ask about it. If you don't ask you don't get lol and you got nothing to lose!!
