oh well such is life, that's the way I look at it. One of those situations whereby no law is broken and there is nothing you can do about it?

they also advertised the commercial guard at fratton at the end of last year and I had already passed the SWT assessment. After waiting ages I got a letter saying that there were no jobs but if you want to be kept on the system let us know and we'll keep you in mind...

What is the managers interview like? I'm supposed to be having one soon for a drivers role at Fratton? Cheers

well good luck, they can move in strange ways at South West, but it sounds like you have got it nailed. I was a qualified guard when I went for an interview at SWT and they said no, so bit odd. Ho Hum...

actually they dont have any distance clause in the app. You would think they would to save shortlisting those apps they wont accept!

for the most part passengers will never be happy :) as for Southern I like working for them. I'm not at Brighton but do go through a fair bit. As long as you don't sit on the senior drivers table (which me and my trainee colleagues did without knowing!) you'll be fine!! I can't speak for FCC...

Doesn't matter they have changed the wording of the advertisement to say that they vacancies across the whole network now!

does anyone know where this will be?? It says London area on the main page but when you start to apply it asks what location you want to go to ??

I'm an internal applicant and have been told by the recruiter responsible that NO applicant will be considered unless they can demonstrate that they can get into work within 30 mins. Even if you say you will move closer to the depot..

Just to remind you all that Southern has a strict 30 minute commute policy. And you have yup live that close BEFORE applying!

in my interview at FCC I asked what the earliest starts and latest finishes were... they didn't seem to mind and I was successful at interview!

hi i have taken and passed this test and i dont anything on here could give you a script to remember. the best advice would be to repeat what had already been said by other posters. when it is being read out to you write down as much as you can. when you rewrite it for you to say, then...

barnham doesnt but get a pass to park in station car park (if theres space)

hi all you might be interested not only has this unit had an interior refurb as already mentioned on forum but it is the first 377 unit to clock up 1,000,000 miles in service!!

Had a quick search and didn't see anything... (mod delete this please if it's been done!) I read today at work that two changes are happening to tickets 05/10/2011 Firstly, to bring tickets in line with London travelcards, tickets are now valid until 0429 the following day instead of end...

I always excess and I am a conductor that works through redhill. The way I work it out is that the season ticket technically (to me!) is a SDS from Elephant & Castle. I find out what this is and then take that away from the same single but with the route via London and hey presto just the...

all ticket offices and tvm's couldnt sell tickets yesterday. some of our morning conductors took nearly 6 GRAND in fares. Bearing in mind that we get 5% commission up to £2k and then 8% on everything thereafter our guards were happy to say the least!!

yeah it was and they still do. Not all Coastways are 313's about half in fact. I have found (being a conductor on above services) that most passengers are fairly happy. The CIS for the most part at stations clearly show that the train is not scheduled to have toilets or first class and a number...

when i worked at XC at Leicester there were rumours thats where our depot was going to move, but nothing ever came of it!

its worth pointing out that even with valid test pass (mine was with FCC) your not always successful. I applied at SWT and they didn't even look my application as they had too many, even though I told them a couple of times that I have an assessment pass!
