It has nothing to do with company policy- it’s a rule. I’m surprised so many others would call the BTP or try to kick the culprits off the train. If anything happened to you, it would be on your head. As long as no one was injured or was in need of emergent assistance, just contact the...

You don’t need work experience on the railway before applying/getting a job on the railway. When joining the railway, you’ll need to give examples of solving problems, dealing with customers and adhering to health and safety standards. There’s so many jobs you can do where you’d gain this...

Exactly that. They give you the practice material so you get an idea of what to expect. People risk putting too much pressure upon themselves by over-thinking it all. I suspect those are the people who are likely to trip over during the MMI.

Perhaps your interest isn’t sufficient if you’re not able to have a quick Google...

I applied as an external in the August and was starting a course at the beginning of December after successfully passing each stage. Personally, I’m of the opinion that you can’t practice the psychometric skills required; the purpose of these tests is to check for a natural ability required in...

I had this scenario but had been honest with my previous employer all along. My TOC were looking to recruit for the next intake so were keen for me to start ASAP. I just spoke to my old manager and told her it’s what I really wanted to do, so it was never a problem. The extra 2 weeks in this...

One of the key qualities they’re looking for is the ability to follow instructions. Your application will have device information linked to it, so you may have shot yourself in the foot with the application.

That’s a little bizarre- there’s no benefit to carrying an out of date identification document. Have your details been taken previously for any travel irregularities; either with correct or incorrect ID?

But do St. Albans drivers whine when they get a job off of spare, even if it’s a minimal job n knock...

If this has happened more than once, consider keeping your Oyster cards separately so that this kind of mistake can’t happen again in future.

Southeastern are advertising the above role on their website and was wondering if anyone can answer a few questions about the job for me? Firstly, the role is for the “Sittingbourne area”. Does anyone know which stations this covers? Secondly, the duties are listed under the role details but...

If you don’t believe that some have now been invited to an assessment centre, why not email Recruitment on the email address included in the email and ask them? It’s unreasonable to question someone and ask for proof of something just because you or someone you know hasn’t scored in the highest...

Even if you’re only on over-the-counter 8mg Co-Codamol, I’d expect that to be an issue due to the safety-critical nature of driving buses. Have you spoken to the doctor about alternative pain relief?

And even then, the entitlement wouldn’t be programmed in; gate line staff would have to let us through the manned barrier. Now I know the previous entitlement no longer exists. Thanks to those of you who clarified that for me.

It’s not impossible, because I’ve previously done it. They may not accept the staff pass any more, but the technology is clearly similar enough to work on the their readers. EDIT: Staff passes work on barriers at train stations, as do Oyster cards. Therefore, they’re capable of working on LU...

I’ve not had to travel via that route for some considerable time now and wasn’t aware it was only a temporary arrangement. It definitely would let me through the barriers previously because I used to have to travel via that route. As I said, I had no idea it was no longer a valid arrangement...

Ah, I wasn’t aware of that being a national TOC privilege.

GTR staff passes do work on certain LU routes; Blackfriars to Victoria being one I’ve used many times before. EMR accept GTR staff passes for travel along the MML if you’re in uniform. GTR staff passes can even be used on Tramlink in Croydon (although that goes back to an old agreement with...

The SJT questions were interesting but as always with these, the focus is on following procedure, safety and reporting to a manager.

It’s appearing for me again now but a friend also confirmed it had disappeared. The link was redirecting to the vacancy search page so may have been a temporary glitch.
