    A friend of mine that was a driver back in the days of BR told me that the drivers were given a watch - does this still happen today?

    I got that as well, but since then I've been offered a position with London Overground - Arriva Rail London so I'm having to withdraw my application for GWR. Best of luck to all of you & I hope things start moving for you soon

    They did offer me the March start date but it was cutting it a bit fine, i have to give my current employer a bit more time to get someone else in

    Arriva Rail London - Qualified/Trainee Driver Vacancies - Dec 2016

    I first applied back in 2015, but failed the bespoke VSE. I reapplied in Jan 2016 and redone the VSE & passed. Went straight to DMI (9th Feb) as i already passed the MMi with GWR in the meantime.
