I spend a lot of time on them. Its just a play on the name, there is no official meaning to the brand name.

This is the official answer. Unofficial no one knows.

Oh I mentioned it in the application. It's more I want to move back home to Ramsgate and SE are the local TOC. I can't move home without a job. I work DOO anyway so that's not a concern to me.

Can't speak for SE but when my toc hired qualifieds they started on full whack to reflect roughly what they earnt at their previous toc.

I probably should of put a family members address down.

I've recently applied for this as I am looking to relocate back home to Ramsgate. Unfortunately I currently live in Southend. I mentioned my personal circumstances in the application so hopefully won't get overlooked. As I'd need to move once I have a start date.

Do double decker trains fit on 4 ft 8 1/2 track? I have no idea. I would of thought the added height would require wider track for stability probably wrong though. I regards to the LTS. There is a lot of low bridges on the line. You wouldn't get the double decker in or out of shoebury...

The route isn't wide enough, we have plenty of bridges, and Fenchurch st has a building on it. East ham tube station there is a sort of tunnel thanks to buildings over head. You'd have to re electrify the entire route.

I'll change it to driver, signaller and pay clerk.

Yeah I was being literal lol

Because I think it largely depends on your TOC. Also currently you need a driver and you need a signaller to move trains. You don't need anyone else. I'm at a DOO toc so no guards, I drive electrostars so no catering staff. Most of our stations don't have gateline or ticket staff for large...
