No, sorry, I assumed it was a ticket office issued one, I've only ever seen plastic online ones and we can't do re-issue/prints of those.

I currently work in a ticket office. Assuming it's the card based 1 year 16-25 railcard that is faded then issuing a new one at the station is no problem. The staff should fill in a replacement railcard form with you, it's tailored for lost/stolen but we put n/a and write "faded ink" on...

Sikes 88 - excellent, hopefully I'll get a mail with my medical date soon then.

Hi, so have you passed DM interview too then skinnydave? Which depot are you destined for? Sorry, no idea on how long other than a suggestion it was unlikely to be this week when they rang me last Thursday. It was about 2 weeks when I heard I'd passed interview for my current post though.

Thanks, maybe I will not then. Yes, it's fairly likely we will be on the same course then. Reading training school is very nice, a purpose built facility, good classrooms, mess room etc plus simulators. They told me at interview that one of the courses will be held at Bristol, I assume in...

Hi, congratulations to you too then Sikes :-) I see you are destined for PAD, for myself it's Reading. Can you fill me in on the "verifile email" please? I'm an internal candidate and did go through a Disclosue Scotland check when before my employment began. Is this something extra? No...

well, things have progressed on for me... The story so far... For all those looking for ideas on timescales and wait lengths ..... Wed 1st May 13 - applied (for close 3rd) - as internal candidate. Wed 19th June 13 - received practice materials Thurs 11th July 13 - got a heads up from my...

Thanks all, we'll I certainly intend to take advantage of it personally a little this year, then maybe with the Mrs n kids next year too.

Thankyou all, very useful. Those who sent me direct messages, much appreciated will respond a bit later. Any more thoughts welcome and I'm sure other candidates find it useful too.

hee hee, all the best then welshjpc !

I'm a potential trainee driver - I was asked today at interview for preference Reading or Oxford depot. I'm fairly equi-distant to both by car, but RDG being easiest by train as my nearest station is NBY. I'd be interested in thoughts on working at either, routes, traction, opportunities in...

:-) having sat the stage 2 in Newport on the 9th Sept, I'ved just had the heads up from my manager that they've asked if they can release for me a DM interview at RDG next Wed.

That's great, yes, I've read that information, but thanks for clarifying the annual allowance starts each January. Much appreciated.

Hi all. I've now been a TOC employee over a year and have decided to take advantage of the FIP card reductions and the availability of coupons for some free travel in europe. I gather you get one set of vouchers for free travel per country per year. Does the allowance reset every January...

Hi, for FGW it was GB and on paper when I sat it, whether that is always the case with FGW I cannot say. Good luck.

Hi, the program does not take keyboard inputs (if its the same as the one i had). If I recall correctly there is a PDF in the zip file which you can print out, which has a layout mimic of the actual keyboard you will use on the day. Hope that helps, Ian *** Edit.....Aha, someone beat me to it !

wmg75 sorry to hear you too, like daddy_badger waited ages for results only for it to be a no. For those awaiting stage 1 results, I feel for you, been there and happily passed that stage. My timescales so far... Wed 1st May 13 - applied (for close 3rd) Wed 19th June 13 - received practice...

Congratulations ! Where are you going to then? Could you do all us tortured waiters a favour and tell us about when you applied / waits etc of your application/assessment process. All the best and good luck.

I said I'd prefer Reading or Oxford, Padd is about an hour, Bristol same so not ideal. So we both hopefully get a DM interview soon. Good luck to you too. Keep me posted (pun intended). --- old post above --- --- new post below --- blimey, a year ago?

Hi, well, I applied with closing date 3/5/13 for posts at Reading, Paddington, Oxford, Bristol. There were 4 of us there, 2 internal, 2 external. Are you in the game too?
