I know of a few people that applied back in October of last year and so far none have heard anything back from SWT recruitment, unfortunatly it's just a matter of waiting and every couple of months just keep phoning them to let them know that your still interested in the role.

Hello Oggo1, yeah I flew through the medical, it's the same as the one for a guard (which I am now) other than the added ECG so not a problem. I was told today that my start date is the 20th of April but as I'm an internal applicant I don't have to have an induction, so my start date will be...

Well Done to all that have passed. I've got my Medical tomorrow morning and I've been told that the next drivers course starts on the 7th of March this course is full of course and the next course doesn't start until at least May.

All of swt units do run with CSR (ex one Desiro set which is running with the GSM-R) and the 158/9's as said by BestWestern have both CSR & NRN because of the area's they cover. The 455's were originally fitted with DOO equipment, however when they went for refurbishment the DOO equipment was...

The best thing I can say for anyone that has been waiting more then two weeks is if you don't get a letter in the post monday morning then give SWT Recruitment a call, they should have all the information there to be able to tell you or at least give you a hint as to what you want to know...

you will normally hear back within a week but it can vary.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was tried once before and the commuters/passengers felt worried and reluctant to travel on trains underground because there was no visable driver in the cab of the train, so to solve this a member of staff was put up the front to be seen as the train came into...

There are different types of cab passes out there, all of which must be show to a driver before entering and it is then driver's choice to allow this person to travel in the driving cab and as said by Kingfisher200262 the driver doesn't have to give a reason for refusal. SWT state that new...

Hi sorry its taken me so long to reply but I've been busy the last couple of weeks, I do know a couple of guards that have diabetes but none are on insulin, I belive that you cannot take a safety critical job if you are taking insulin. SWT is very strict when it comes to drugs and the drivers...

The best thing I can say is if you have still not recived a letter give recruitment a call and ask them, they should be able to tell you if a letter has been sent out and if you've passed. Which Depot have you applied for? As for the assesments the best thing to practice with is to get hold...

Just so you know the booklet they give you doesn't really tell you much about the assessment day or the process of recruitment you will under go, below is what it was like for me when I took my assessments and interviews back in 2008/09. On the day of your assessments you will be in a group...

Thats more that likely due to the SDO requirements, as i said before i wasn't too sure cheers for clearing that up one less job for me when i go back in :)

Originally the 458's were supposed to work the Portsmouth,Weymouth and Alton services to replace the slammers yes but after there were issues with the 458's they didn't actually run any passenger services over those lines. Instead they were put into storage in Clapham yrad & Wimbledon Park depot...

As far as I am aware the 458's are not permitted to work Alton services (I may be wrong on this so i will check tomorrow evening).

In the evenings there are a couple of services that are booked 450's that come up from shepperton, the service goes down via Richmond, then comes back up via kingston, so that would explain the 450s in the evening. As for the 458's and 450's this morning I can't say for sure as I don't go...

Sorry about that my punctuation and spelling aren't the best in the world, add on top it was late and well I think my above post is the result of all that. Alan

All I can say is "around the houses" is a bit of an understatement! at least the HSTs aren't having to stop at any of the stations along the Byfleet curve/addlestone line. I sign that route the HSTs are going to be using and I hate it (i think every crew that signs it hates it too), during...

5913 (the unit that was hit by the cement truck) isn't at Wimbledon Park depot, unless it was brought back this last week, it was moved by a GBrf 66 with a couple of other carriages a good week or so ago or a couple of days after the incident and was taken from Wimbledon up towards clapham jct...

I can't say for sure but I would say if your wanting Fratton depot then you'd be on the training course starting around March/April, I know that Fratton depot is down a lot of drivers as is waterloo and Wimbledon Park from what I'm told and is SWT needs drivers then they will get the ball...

If you have passed the assessment tests with another TOC (recation, cordination, etc) then you will only have to take the Interviews, however if you have taken the tests with another TOC and failed then you will have to retake all the tests and you will only have one chance to pass. hope that...
