Whilst you’re at the school for the first 5 months it’s a big, ‘No! No!’ But you will be given a week off somewhere that is rostered in. HR should ask if you have any holiday booked. However if that’s the case it might mean that start dates are deferred. This has happened to others. Once out...

Courses tend to be made up of half metro and half coastal. Then there tends to be one or two for each depot. For example on our course I’m a Brighton driver with one other. Two more are Barnham and the rest Metro. There were a few Brighton trainees ahead of us and I’m aware of quite a few...

Next course in Jan apparently. Course just started (eight) who are all Vic.

Southern trainees have one year after they get their key before going up to full pay.

Once you’ve had your medical and you’ve been sent your contract with a start date they will ask for your reference and referee contact info.

Next Southern pay day after that would be the 1/12/17 I believe.

Ditto!

I'm on the October course. I only know of one other person on it with me but no others. I assume there should be another 6 somewhere. Either they exist but are not on this forum or they've yet to fill the course. I haven't heard of anybody on a December course yet. Sent from my iPhone using...

Dandan1. Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to it. Good luck with your training. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have my two day GTR induction with Southern on the 18th October, also at Go Ahead House. Like yourselves the first day is a Wednesday. Any idea what happens on the Friday if it's only 2 days? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I understand it's a form where they ask for a grading (e.g. Score 1-5 for a particular trait 1 = poor 5 = excellent etc) My referee sent in an accompanying letter but I don't think that was specifically asked for. My referee also said they sent her an email within hours of me notifying them. I...

Walrus, From experience they will email your nominated referees within days of you notifying them. If they don't get a prompt response from them then they will call them. If they hear nothing after that they will re contact you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Congratulations! I too am starting in October. Based at Brighton with Southern. Maybe see you soon. Keep us posted! [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

This year courses seem to be every two months for Southern. I missed out on the August one then got the October course. I was told there is also one in December, then it's into 2018. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes that's with Southern. From the little knowledge I have, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong, it seems that TL are based getting based at Three Bridges nowadays rather than Brighton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks. Training will probably be at Selhurst (at Go Ahead House for induction) and then based at Brighton. I know what you mean about Southern candidates. There were certainly lots when I had assessments etc but don't seem many on this forum. As you say they seem to be mainly GN and TL...

Danno, I applied in Sept 16, had my MMI in March 17, medical the following month and start training this October. But this isn't consistent as I'm on a course with people that also applied this year. I think a lot of it is being in the right place at the right time and depends on...
