Not on train, so been told i'm not entitled to one. Had a look on Amazon and Ebay but they are not the same as the ones supplied to train staff. T key is putting holes in the pockets, which only became a pain when my locker key fell out the hole from the t key. Cheers

Have an interview for Train Presentation and been told that Sunday is part of the working week for these jobs and no extra payment which dooesn't bother that much but I've been told that 2027 is when the bosses want to implement Sunday as a working day. Now the question is, how much at the time...

After taking a gap year my child is now heading back to Uni, now whilst off he more or less worked full time to get some money saved. After looking at Staff travel I see this Child under 25 in full-time education (you must add the name of the school/college/university). You can use this...

Hi guys need some help in finding a linnk from a previous thread in one of these forums. It was a link to Scotrail application form that had your progress/ completion and i'm sure you could download it. Had a look at the internal application form and i'm sure it repeats some of the Q's I've...

Currently on holiday from work and was hoping to catch someone to ask before I was off but of course didn't see anyone. RPO job(s)have came up on SR internal and was thinking of applying but was wondring if anyone had any info on what the job entails. What are the shift patterns like, with...

So Scotrail has supplied 2 pair long johns and 2 short sleeve Tees, both of which are 0.45 TOG rated, along with a hat, scarf and gloves. I do have my own hat and gloves alongn with thermal socks but how good are the tees and long johns for winter wear. I have been told that it WILL go below...

Someone in work mentioned this job but is this not strange that Blue Arrow are advertisning for a TE job on behalf of Scotrail rather than the company itself. I honestly thought agency workers were "entry level" jobs only and progress went from there but it's word for word a Scotrail job...

Just started with Scotrail and have no info as yet on pension contributions and won't really know until September for a full wage slip, but I have an old work pension that I last paid into 17 years ago that has about £50k in it. If everything goes to plan I will have 17 years worth of the rail...

Soon to start and was wondering about staff parking at the above station. Where is it and how close is it to the station, is it free or a reduced rate or can you park at "partner sites" i.e. Bridge St. Underground. Do I have to register, if so how do I do this? Should have asked at the interview...

Haven't started as yet but there is a new timetable change incoming and the earliest train I can get will now leave 7 minutes later and gets me into work 1 minute before starting. Earliest start is 06:20 and now the train gets into the station at 06:19 whereas at the moment it is 5 minutes...

I've got a job offer and just waiting on a start date with Scotrail for Gateline. The salary is between £24 - £26k depending on how many Sundays I work (minimum 13). Pension contributions are 9.78% of salary, can I contribute more as I had a company pension that I stopped paying into when I...

Accepted a job for Gateline at Scotrail and done the various paperwork I was asked to do and now waiting on Scotrail to contact my 2 refs for references. Now I do get the railways are slow and depending on the job will depend on the length of time, but since Gateline is considered "entry level"...

Hi guys n gals, I've got an interview for a Gateline job next week and I'm hoping to go to the station beforehand but current job and kids being off for Easter making it slighlty harder than usual. I've got some info from a family friend who works as a ticket inspector but started as gateline...

So with Sunday being outside of the working week and classed as O/T, does the advertised salary take into account the Sunday rate or will that be extra into the wage. Have an upcoming interview for gateline staff and the wage is £22500 (qpprox) with a contracted commitment to work 13 Sundays per...

Maybe someone can help with this one. Applied for various roles since 2019/20 and the ones that I've been successful in the intial sift, I've had to do 2 online tests, 1 math based one and 1 scenario based one and then got through to Atrium court for another test and passed that (didn't get...

Not start/finish times as I know that is different depending on the station but how many days on and days off. Thing that surprised me most was depending on the job was the working week, Conductors/Ticket Examiner was a 4 day week with a long weekend every 3 weeks (I think), Train dispatcher wss...

Found out earler this week that a position I applied for (Scotrail Gateline) was filled by 2 managers kids, now not saying I would have got the job but this is the second time a job I've been interviewed for has went to a managers relative. Do outsiders have any chance if they are up against a...

Failed an interview approx 4 weeks ago and recieved the not succesful email about 2 weeks ago, I replied to that email (Scotrail recruitment) and didn't recieve a reply. I then emailed the person who originally sent the date for the initial email and still no reply. I have recieved a "cannot...
