Cheers that was my worry about being put into the accommodation with younger appreciates. Heard story’s of load music and noise into the early hours. Fingers-crossed for the village hotel then! Thanks
Anyone able to tell me what Westwood is like? I have heard a lot of negative things about the accommodation. Anyone have any experiences they can share?
we just walk it, it’s about 30 mins walk. It’s Quite nice really. You can get the bus or sometimes some drive in but it’s hit and miss whether they let you park at campus
Hi all got my start date through for the 2nd Sept, going to be on a course starting on the 9th. Can I ask what day is the next pay day? Just trying to figure out the gap I will have from my old job going into this. Thanks
Hi quick question,
I am going to be doing semaphore absolute block/electric token block signalling so will I just get trained on that type of signalling?
Hi, rules (final exam with your manager) is after your classroom learning and being out with a minder conductor, but i am only really know about the east side so it could be different over in the west side.
i think it depends on whether your going onto the east or west side. A lot of trainees take a week off after they have pasted out. Just ask your line manager when your having your rules, you should get what ever you want off as they don't need to cover your jobs as you won't be in the roster...
