I am currently in the pool with Southeastern for Conductor, Train Driver and Station Staff. I have passed all 3 assessments.

I was contemplating this, but as I passed my drivers assessment last Friday, I realised I had saved money. There is no guarantee that you would do the course, then pass the actual TOC assessment afterwards.

Recruitment contacted me on Monday, to say interviews appear to be a long way off. And I am 7th in the queue for a conductor interview. I was offered an interview for relief station staff, on a 12 month contract. I have decided to accept the interview on the basis, after 6 months I can re-apply...

Over the last year, I have applied for 3 jobs with my local TOC. First was Station Assistant last July. I passed, and I am still waiting for an interview. Secondly, I did the Conductor Assessment on 31st May, and again Passed, and still awaiting an interview. Yesterday I attended an assessment...

Last night (18/06/2015). I arrived at my local station in order to purchase advanced tickets from London Euston to Crewe. I had Rail Vouchers from Delay Repay. The Journey times were Outward on 3rd July 2015 on the 10:10 service. A website quoted £29 single. I was told that that was not...

Thank you for your help and comments. I have a better understanding. I have a bit of PTS knowledge, as I currently volunteer on The Kent & East Sussex Railway.

Yes I have passed the Assessments test. I am just waiting for an interview now. I was jus interested in what happens when you start. As I said in another post I was probably jumping the gun.

I am probably really jumping the gun here, as I have not even had an interview or got the job. I am just wondering what to expect, should I be successful. I have seen what to expect, if your going for a Train Driving role, but can find nothing under the Trainee Conductor role. I am just...

It prepared me in what to put on application forms, and also for the Bourdon tests, and ticket selling/checking tests. Hopefully it is preapring me well for the interview, whenever that happens. I only just did and passed my Assessment last Friday. I am now waiting for when a vacancy arises at...

I purchased this book through ebay. I have not finished with the book as yet, as I am waiting for my interview, which I am not sure when it could be.

I had to wait about 5 months between the 2. I passed the station staff assessment for Cannon Street last year, to find, I have been put in the pool for my local area.

I Passed my Assessment to be a Trainee Conductor on South Eastern Trains yesterday. As it happens, there were 9 of us at the start, and 4 went home early. We are now told it is just a waiting game, as the application does state Future Opportunities. So when a vacancy arises, we may get called...

All solved. Received an email, asking for photo evidence, and when I boarded my train. They wanted to check CCTV, and after giving chapter and verse, including the fact I reported the loss to Lost Property, it has now been approved.

I assumed that Train Managers were Train Guards. I applied to Virgin Trains for this position, and got a response that they were not taking my application further, and in future to make sure I understand what I am applying for.

Thank you all. To date, it has still not been handed in, though, I am still awaiting authorisation to purchase a duplicate ticket. This will be £10. I have bought tickets that my pass would cover, and I do get those refunded. I just find it annoying, especially as I saw the ticket on the table...

I am so gutted. I rushed to get off me train at Gillingham tonight, then realised I had left my Gold Travelcard on the train. I quickly went to Enquiries, and after a few phone calls. It has not been found. I am so gutted. I need it for tomorrow, as I am going to Crewe. I just can't believe that...

I moved to London in 1988 from the East Midlands. I would say, I have covered the whole of the line except Watford, Croxley and Chesham on the Metropolitan Line. I have not done Heathrow Terminal 5 yet either. I managed to use the Jubilee Line as far as Charing Cross when Open. The Holborn to...

I checked my Status Application, and it seems I have been removed from all 4 Depot's I applied for, but in the Future Opportunities for Gillingham Depot where I live.

I declined to say which station and TOC it is, because I have 2 job applications for them, and don't want to be seen to be criticising them.

When travelling on a train, a conductor will approach a passenger without a ticket. He/She will try and purchase a ticket, and is often questioned as to why a ticket was not purchased at the Station. More often that not the response is, 'There was a queue, and I would have missed the train'...
