I'm also voting for website as the most disfunctional I've ever used. Hideous. Then again, typical railway!

I am too, with how close these recent adverts have been. As I understand, you do not get any NR discounts. I'm no recruitment expert, but from what I've gathered, only MTREL or London Overground/LOROL offer both a TfL staff Oyster and a 75% NR leisure priv card. It isn't to be sniffed at...

The job is being advertised again, I think that's the third time in recent months. I've heard the morale there is a bit questionable, maybe that is why? o_O

Also had my rejection email

The job description is so poor that they don't even mention the staff travelcard!

Many of us wouldn't have the jobs we do if people could figure things out themselves

To clarify, is this for LNER or elsewhere?

For me, I've got many tools at my disposal, both public (Traksy, Open Train Times, Real Time Trains...) and private (CCLDB, Genius Mobile, Arrakis...) tools that I'm very comfortable with. However sometimes I need to share my train times with family members (could apply this to passengers who...

My training on SWR was to make announcements at Waterloo, and Clapham Junction, as well as other key stations. Since passing training I'll only do that Clapham announcement if it's exceptionally busy on a weekend, or when I see a manager on board. Otherwise I think full announcements at both are...

Hey, I can't speak for the role you've applied for, but I applied twice last year for Customer Experience Controller, also in the ROC. The first time I got all the way to the end but they didn't have enough vacant positions, so I sat in a waiting list, and the second time was after the job...

They already know the advert will have a high demand, so just reduce the deadline from the start. It's much better to extend the deadline if they don't get enough applicants instead. It is frustrating to miss out, but it doesn't have to be this way. It's awful recruitment practise which will...

Really hope this comes back, otherwise they'll be as bad as TfL for closing adverts early, a practise which should be illegal. EDIT: And of course, no way to contact them... ffs.

Some parts of the rule book, such as brake defects, mention "vehicles", but the glossary of railway terminology doesn't actually clarify what a "vehicle" is and a Google isn't helpful. I'm taking a guess "vehicle" means "coach" as in you are in coach 1 of 10, but the way it is used could be read...

As much as the salary appears good (sure, good money, but they make you work very hard for it and it's basically 4 jobs in 1 - guard, driver, shunter, revenue), I've decided after the chat I had with an active PSA (typed above), that I'm not going to apply. I don't need to move in to another...

I've heard differing things on the nominee pass too, and seen older threads questioning the pension. Still no confirmed answer on internal TfL vacancies particularly given the DLR has documents like Standard Operating Procedures hosted on a TfL Sharepoint site, but I'm guessing not. I spent 20...

What kind of staff pass do they get and what does it cover? EDIT: And can you apply for internal TfL vacancies too or is KAD considered seperate in this regard? I know there is a Sharepoint site under TfL for KAD stuff, aka with a KAD email you must be able to access TfL stuff, hence asking...

I've heard mixed things on this topic. I've searched the RSSB rule books and can't find any result for sunglasses and similar terms, and a search here shows a 2012 thread for drivers. So, excluding company policy which may differ between TOCs (but feel free to share what your policies are), are...

I think it should, I'd rather recruiters were forced in law to display the job salary or range on all job posts anyway.

True but it's still somewhat useful information... And if they're making it private but won't update it then what's the difference with that respect?

I disagree, data for public companies anyone can get through a Freedom of Information request and for any other company, the public can look at Google to find forums and sites like this which will discuss salary publicly anyway. I see no point in hiding information that people can get through...
