    Trainee Drivers TPE

    Applied internally. I had an email with subject "assessment centre" but the email itself states "The next steps of the process will be an interview and you will be contacted by email to confirm dates and interview location." So I don't know if I'm assessment centre or straight to interview...

    FGW Competence Manager- Dispatch and Guards

    Got an interview booked for this role based Westbury/Fratton and just wondering if anyone has any advice on specifics I should do. I'm an internal applicant from TPE. Obviously attention to detail, competence questions on dispatch and guard duties will feature but is it likely to include rule...

    First Group Trainee

    Already with TPE in a non-driving grade but I agree with this. You'll be speaking to controllers, signallers and such, passing on information that has to be 100% clear on it's meaning so to a degree how you present your answers is likely to be a factor as well as what the answer is.

    South West Trains- Guards Manager vacancy

Not overly confident I did too well in the interview as I had to come back to one question and have 2 repeated, although I did give answers in the end.

    South West Trains- Guards Manager vacancy

    Asked outright and it will be slightly north of the £35600 a commercial guard earns. By how much I don't know. What's the regional allowance down there? As an update I've had my online assessment and should I progress, interviews are September 14th in Fratton.

    South West Trains- Guards Manager vacancy

    75% discount priv rates or different? Sounds good to me tbh. They said on the phone 45mins but all other TOCs up this way are 60mins so may ask how flexible it is at interview if I get that far. Genuine question with me relocating the length of the country. Any areas of...

    South West Trains- Guards Manager vacancy

    :lol: just coffees. Matt what's it like as a company? Obviously we all have our gripes and issues but in general, are they so bad? I work for a Transpennine service (narrows it right down when I live Newcastle currently). Doesn't necessarily need to be on the IOW but that area she loves.

    Northern Rail Took My season ticket and will issue an MG11

    As a fare issuing conductor I have come across this same situation numerous times a week and never do I make any drama of it. I issue the requested ticket at standard open fare price without railcard discount and wander off. If the OP is putting their self forward as needing an additional ticket...

    South West Trains- Guards Manager vacancy

    Morning folks, I currently work for a transpennine TOC up in the 'norf' but applied for the SW trains Guards Manager post they recently advertised. My missus is wanting to relocate to the Isle of Wight area so it seemed a no brainer tbh. I was just wondering how the wage, terms &...
