Hello pal, congrats on your signalling job. As you probably saw on these forums I applied many times for signaller and not got an interview, so I know how hard you have had to work. All the best!!

thanks for pointing that out :) Changed now but it did look rather silly saying I'm NOT going on a training course!!

There fine as long as i don't bring the company into disrepute!

Hi all Not sure if anyone is interested but I have started a blog outlining my training at SWT as a trainee driver starting tomorrow. Thought it would be useful for anyone who wanted to know what the training is like. I also thought it would complement the one I read that is on...

Did mine with FCC last year and they do do the mechanical test!

Days/Months Price 7 Days £58.50 1 Month £224.70 3 Months £674.00 6 Months £1,347.90 12 Months £2,340.00 there you go... **edit** welcome to the forums!! :)

It is usually half hour from where you are WHEN you apply. Some have had luck living further and saying you'll relocate. I was told at my interview that you can't change location until you have been qualified for two years. Depots near Staines would be Guildford, Woking, Wimbledon and...

You had most Sundays off and had two other rest days a wekk that were next to each other. MON TUE 1st week then WED THUR next week and so on... I thought XC were good to work for but Leicester was a small depot with no managers or any other staff. It had a close nit feel to it and I enjoyed...

I was a crosscountry senior conductor at Leicester, but it was about 3 years ago. The roster was a 4 day week which saw every 3rd weekend off. We had very few Sundays at Leicester and we only signed 170's with the occasional 153/156. There were no layovers in the sense of being overnight, all...

Heres hoping Matt!

as I said it would only be the bank account that would be a problem, but even that isn't a problem really. Good luck with the role, the only job where a financial check has been carried out for me was when I became a Special Constable. you'll be fine, I can't see where it would come up...

the only downside I can see is (and correct me if I am wrong) doesn't bankruptcy mean you cant have a bank account? most if not all TOC's pay into a bank account

i hope i didn't come across as blagging. it wasnt intentional. i can only imagine they need a fratton driver on that course

My voluntary work helped me get the job! I was interview by an ex policemen and we spent most of interview chatting about policing! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I got a start date! I am on the January course. Meant i just had enough timeto give notice. Can i just take this...

Fratton for me...

No that's what I didn't get. There were two of us. She turned to the other bloke and said you need to do your other tests but were looking at a March start date. She then turned to me and said your free to go we'll be in touch. I emailed yesterday as I have annual leave in March which I need...

no not yet, but I know its clean (I'm a Special Constable) so not too worried about it.

good luck Liam, I'm still holding hope that I will be on that course. I passed my medical today and am just waiting for the drugs result (which I kind off know the answer to) and a start date!!
