Ah good stuff mate! Do you know where you're working yet?

I've noticed that the 73ts DVA's are getting worse every time I travel on them (a good few times a week). Might it be something to do with the last update/modification which introduced an annoying *bing* sound which comes on before every announcement?!

At the stations I've worked at, some pubs have provided a staff discount on food (and a drink if you order at the same time ;) ), so I used to go in them on my break for a decent priced meal, albeit with something covering the uniform & (obviously) not drinking alcohol. However, a senior...

That shouldn't matter. The medicals with TOC's (for station roles) I've been through have been no more than a weight/height measurment, vision & hearing test, blood pressure and urine sample (for drugs & alcohol). I'm techincally "overweight", and when I first started was on the higher end of...

Got the call, just moments ago, start on the 4th April (although could've started earlier)! A very quick, but thorough process. Wish all company's acted like this. :)

Yeah, those guys work on commision, so even though they can, they wouldn't... :roll:

:lol: Sorry mate, but if they listen, I'll eat my shoes! There are no designated training staff currently, and the one person who did ticketing when I was started 4 years back, knew less than me. The company fail to do re-training on ticketing (even though all staff have a day rostered for...

HEx make up their own rules mate. When I worked there, that is what was trained... :?

http://www.railcard.co.uk/network/terms HEx use the same T&C's for GOLD cards. The reason why they may not always charge the correct fare is a training issue. The TOM's (Ticket Office Machine's) are correctly programmed, however the same can't be said for all the staff... :p

Yep, that will be the minmum fare rule (as the GOLD card follows the same ones as the NSE Card). £13 is the correct fare. :)

7 odd years in customer facing roles, coming up to 4 & a half in the railways mate. Got a call yesterday telling me I'd passed the telephone interview, am just awaiting a date to attend the role play/tests/interview (they had tomorrow but I'm working at 1415, and apparently it lasts until...

There's the 23 & 53 past booked Mon-Fri between 1100ish - 1400ish, then a couple more every now & then or in disruption.

Already heard back & got a telephone interview tomorrow! Well done TfL for initial speediness! :)

Is that what the Moorgate tunnels look like these days... ;)

If anyone's found a way to keep their feet warm while wearing steel toe shoes, I'd love to know!! :D

Firstly, congratulations. :) As far as I remember, the reactions test is the one where you're sat at a computer with some headphones, pedals & specially made keyboard with different colour buttons. The screen tells you which buttons/pedals to press, and you have to keep up. A tip: It runs 2...

I waited a month, a mate waited a day, a few on here a week or two. No set time it seems. Best of luck though. :)

As far as I'm aware, the only TOC's that require station staff to be in Orange Hi-Vis' are those who have to go "On or near the line", in line with their regular duties (ie attach or detach units).

With a 8/9 car HEx service on a late Sunday evening from PAD, there were times when there was no-one on it! Done quite a few PAD - BRI (vice versa) trips where I've been the only one in a carriage for the whole journey. The same from PGN - BRI. Also, most FGw HST First Class carriages are...
