Which company was this? Do yourself a favour and look at it as an investment. You’ll make that money back before you know it. I would definitely try and give this to the company and see what they have to say, however be prepared for them to want a consultant to look at it properly which...

You’re right that it’s nothing to do with WMT other than branding. It’s Pre Metro Operations Ltd, so not a TOC strictly speaking. As for the town car crew, whilst one acts as driver and the other as guard, they all do both roles so can’t really be defined as drivers. WMR only gave guards at...

In the West Midlands, convention if not rule is that RPIs will always ask the guard if they are happy for them to board, work and PF as required. The guard has the option to decline them, not allow them on the train/not allow them to work it. I would take the view that as the guard, it’s your...

Sorry to be a pain, the number doesn’t work. Have you got any other details please?

Does anyone have a contact email for recruitment please?

Friend of mine is a SDA at Bristol, overtime on tap and actually makes more than me, a guard at another toc...

Can confirm they ask for enhanced pass. (In the process myself)

Don’t see why not but I’ve changed it just in case. Can I send you a message?

is this in a couple of months?

No, I work as a conductor for another neighbouring TOC. I asked one of the recruitment managers about that and she didn’t really answer, so I’m not sure.

Don’t forget that they’ll sign 172s before long, they’re intended for the NUCKLE and Leamington services. As for the franchise splitting, take that with a pinch of salt. The operating company remains WM Trains, with the two sub brands being West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern. I...

I found out I’d been successful a couple of weeks ago, email said the start date would be confirmed but most likely in 2019. I applied the same time as you, Derv, so I can’t imagine how many people they’ve got waiting in the pool, feel like I might be waiting quite a while...

I actually use a single hole punch from Ryman’s at the moment but wanted something to date tickets so I don’t need to put my clippers away and get my sharpie out to date certain open tickets.

I’ve had a look on eBay and they pop up occasionally but I always seem to miss out. The biro scribble seems to be the method of choice with most of my colleagues but I wanted to do something different.

Hello, sorry if I’m posting this under the wrong section, wasn’t really sure where this would fit. I work for as a Conductor for a TOC who don’t supply ticket stampers and I really want a stamper of my own. I’ve approached a company who supply the Zifa stampers and I was quoted £315(!) for the...

This was me! Don’t think I was trying to be funny, I think I was just pleased to see a train too...

I don’t think there’s enough information to say whether this was professional or not, however I know Rugeley Trent Valley and that area is a fare evasion hotspot and I certainly wouldn’t mind betting that the Guard in question knows these people as regular fare evaders. We all get to know...

It’s entirely up to you. It took over a month for me to find out I was successful, may have been even longer. Patience is a virtue but ultimately the choice is yours. Might be worthwhile asking for Nicola because she handles conductor recruitment.

Not a dispatcher anymore...
