Yes, I specifically requested the journey from London Victoria to Stansted Airport. No; I checked the journey on the journey planner and it definitely showed the route via the Victoria Line. Frustratingly, I have a PTAC but my wife doesn’t (she was travelling with me so we both had the same...

Thanks for your quick reply. I’d actually bought the ticket at Luton station and I specifically requested the return journey between London Victoria and Stansted Airport. When making a complaint, should I request reimbursement of my underground fare (which technically was due to be paid) or a...

I’m hoping someone can offer an insight into the issue I experience this evening. I had to get from London Victoria to Stansted Airport last Thursday, with my return journey today. I purchased a return train ticket from a ticket office (image of the return portion attached) which was valid...

Thanks for correcting me. A fine of up to £1,000 can be applied.

On an unrelated note, it’s worth the OP being reminded that to not have the correct address on a driving licence makes it invalid. Updating the address is free and can be done online.

The link was broken in the email. Log in to the career portal and there’s a link to the questionnaire there under your current application.

Are you saying you’re now using a 16-25 railcard to purchase discounted tickets with? If so, and you’re older than 25 years old, this is very unwise and won’t do you any favours if you’re caught.

As the role is very rules and instruction orientated, the fact that you didn’t read the advert properly is possibly indicative that you may not have gone very far during the process anyway. Attention to detail is very important.

Got to love the Eurostar FIP rate and international travel coupons..!

My apologies for not being clear. The taxi agreement (which I believe is the same across GTR) is conditional and hasn’t been available to new starters as part of their contract since around 2017. Therefore, responsibility for newer Southern employees to get to work for the start of their shift...

Isn’t a taxi agreement TOC-specific? Even then, it’s not available in new employee contracts.

I applied to the RPS board to transfer in a previous pension but they declined the application.

But on the other hand, it can be a totally different experience: Applied: September 2016 Online SJT: September 2016 Mini Scaat: September 2016 Assessment Day: September 2016 DMI: October 2016 MMI: October 2016 Medical: November 2016 Started: December 2016 There’s no set timeline, so the...

I've not seen any adverts in messrooms..? Some DI roles have been advertised online recently, but that's it. Who's taking over the management contract on behalf of the DfT? The franchise was extended a while ago and if I remember correctly, it's not due to finish for a while yet. Also...

Does no one proof-read the advert before it gets posted? The grammatical and spelling errors are appalling :rolleyes: Prior to landing the role of trainee train driver, I’d worked at a bank for 9 years and as a bus driver for 6 years before that. There’s plenty of transferable skills from...
