Peterboro' and Kings Lynn depots are both "dead mans shoes", and any vacancies are always filled by internal transfers. On the GN you are looking at Kings X, possibly Hitchin or Cambridge. On the TL you are looking at Blackfriars, Bedford or possibly Brighton.

Hi guys, Can someone tell me what the earliest start time and latest finishing time is at Kings Cross, and what's the depot like to work from? Do any of you commute in from Peterborough? Cheers. topgun

Can a Blackfriars driver tell me what the earliest start is, and can you get to the depot on time if you lived in Bedford? Cheers Chris

Anybody else starting their driver training on 18th October?

You can't just re apply in 6 months time. You have to wait until FCC or another TOC advertises a vacancy. Also, I think that because the structured interview is part of the whole assessment process, you will have to take all the tests again. Other people on this forum have said this before...

Has anybody heard if they passed or failed their interviews on Tuesday afternoon? If so, did you get a phone call or an email.

Sorry to hear that mate. Did they phone you or email you??
