Nice one fella! Just been given a job offer by Network Rail myself. Only taken 19 months to get into the industry :)

Just asking for general feel around this forum from people already in the industry. How much potential is there in general to pick up extra hours on top of a part time contract in the industry. Looking at a few roles at the moment but they are all part time and ideally need full time hours...

Thanks guys. I'm willing to try anything to get into the industry. Will check it out and let you know how I get on. Cheers

Some pretty interesting points thrown in hear. At the end of the day, had 2 interviews in a month, ended up with a No! but, won't let it beat me. Back on the saddle as they say. Hopefully they will see my eagerness to join with more applications as and when they appear. If anything, the...

I find that bizarre LBSCR Times on its own. I did'nt go into the interview banging on about how I have Health and safety experience but, I used examples from what I do now in answering the questions. My understanding is that a Conductor is a safety critical role so surely showing examples of...

I e-mailed for feedback yesterday when I received the news. Think I generally have a problem vamping myself up at interviews which is really frustrating as I have a vast background in Health & safety and customer service. Won't give up though, determined to make it!

Which TOC. Just been turned down over past few weeks for a conductor myself with FGW. I'ts made me feel more up beat to get in and I will try again. Did knock me for a few days however. I'm awaiting feedback from the recruitment Manager at the moment. Keep at it would be my advice. Let...

Hi Tom Would happily put my mind to anything although, Train Conductor - Manager is my long term goal! The past 8 months feeds that hunger. Getting close but, no cigar

I intend to Richie. I'm quite happy to work up through the ranks, if that is what's required. Good luck yourself mate!

Hi all. I'm just looking for some advice really. I've just been through an 8 month process with FGW for a conductors role. I passed all the online tests, attended and passed the assessment centre stage but, sadly missed out after interview last week. Received an e-mail stating that on...

The weather is not looking up for a few days in Cornwall yet. As far as I am aware, FGW are running a limited service still and placing updates online frequently.

Cats working stations. Is that the way forward :lol:

Plymouth Station never has a good smell to it really

I've been trying to break into the industry for nearly a year now. Have an alright job at the moment but, know that this is where my heart wants to be. I'm not a trainspotter by any means but, feel that it would be a highly rewarding industry to work for

Nice one. I'm trying to get into this sector at the moment. Seems a tough cookie to crack. Enjoy
