Hi all, Applied for this vacancy recently and wondered if any of you had also applied and if so had heard anything? In general what are SWT in terms of getting back to you? Thanks, Keiran

Hi all, I have FINALLY been invited to an assessment/interview day for DB Schenker on Friday for Groundstaf at Llanwern. Can anyone tell me what to expect from the assessments/interview, and if anyone has information on Llanwern specifically, what that's like too? Thanks, Keiran

Hey all, We have just announced our first guests for our Autumn Gala. These will be GWR 45xx class 4566 (freshly repainted in to BR Early Unlined Black), former resident 5542 and GWR Auto-tank 14xx 1450. It is also planned to be SDJR 7f no 88's last run out before her 10 year overhaul...

Hi all, ATW have now posted trainee positions for Cardiff, in addition to the Pwelli and Mac ones they put up earlier in the week. Good luck to all who apply!!

Hi all, SUCCESS!! FINALLY. Well, of a sort. I have been invited for an interview for the above role at St Phillip's Marsh, however the job description was very vague and there was no attached role specification. Does any one have an idea of what the job actually is, or can provide some...

Hi all, I'm thinking of applying for this role, as the relocation is a hop accross the river from me (although I am holding out hope that ATW will be advertising again soon). Can any one tell me what routes are worked by the Turbos out of Bristol? And what conditions are like (4/5 day...

I think, if we're all honest here, have looked at applying for a Virgin CSSA role in our own railway career endeavours. Countless posts I see about them. And now, it's time for my own. Regarding Preston. Yes, it's a little bit out of South Wales, but hey ho, geography was never my strong...

I'm thinking of applying for the above role, can any one tell me what exactly the role involves and what the working conditions are like? Thanks

Hi all, I've just applied to the above job (not quite in South Wales, but close enough for now!) I was just wondering if anyone has any idea of what the roster patterns are like, general salary, if there's commission, weekend working details etc, and what routes are signed off Temple Meads...

I have been given an original GWR Bib and Brace by one of my volunteer colleagues. I am now searching for a GWR Jacket to match, ie. of the light blue denim type,as opposed to the darker blue I need to get, fairly easily from the NYMR, to match my trousers and other Bib and Brace. Can anyone...

Hi all, Me again - hands up if you're fed up of me...... Anyway. I am currently 19, and I am seeing a lot of recruiting drives for drivers at the moment. None of which I can apply for yet ( :( ). What are the realistic prospects, would you all think, of being able to get a driving job...

ATW advertising for Shunters at Canton Depot - Internal only, so I doubt it's much use to anyone, unless you already work for Arriva. Good luck to anyone that does apply. Fingers crossed for them opening it up to a wider audience, or that the role(s) it creates are advertised soon :D Keiran

Is it still there? I recently applied for a job with DB based at the Saltley Deopt, and there are contradicting images on Google maps as to whether or not there is actually anything still there! Can any body enlighten me? Also, what sort of traffic is around there? Thanks, Keiran

I pose this question to mainly those of you who know the area. Various SEWTA reports mention reopening the Llantristant & Taff Vale line from Pontyclun to Beddau. I have a special interest as my house is built on the land of the old Llantrisant MPD, and backs on to the exchnage sidings left in...

Oh come on, who here hasn't thought they'd love to do it? How do you go about getting to drive steam traction on the mainline? I know it's with DBS, but is there a seperate link, taken on specifically for the steam role? Or do you have to be part of the "chosen few" that actually get to...

Hi all, Positions for Conductors with First Scotrail have just gone up for Inverness and Wick http://firstgroup.hua.hrsmart.com/ats/js_job_details.php?reqid=7790 and http://firstgroup.hua.hrsmart.com/ats/js_job_details.php?reqid=7794 Good luck to all who apply! Keiran

Right, I'm starting to get fed up with being turned down for all the jobs I go for. Mind you, who isn't?! I'm strting to think it's because I don't yet have the skills and experience the railways want for say a guard or Shunter grade, as I'm only 19, and the only job I've had is my...

Hi all, Thought I'd let you know, C2C are advertising 4 trainee depot drivers positions at East Ham - they have an issue with their online system, so you need to email them to register interest - bit out of my area, but best of luck to any based in East London/Essex!

Ok, so slightly off-beat for this forum, but, it's a job, on the railway, albeit preserved. Came across this recently, and on the face of it, sounds like the ultiamte dream job - full time working rostering steam locos and the like, train planning etc, as well as day to day running of the...

Hi all, I've recently applied to the position of Shunter at Landore (still open until tomorrow if any other of us train loving taffs are looking for something). Does anyone know what restrictions are on this? I'm 19 - so I know I'm too young to be a mainline driver, but my age wasn't...
