Congratulations by the way! Any way in is a good way in, and the money and conditions are very good for station staff so you'll be sorted then!

Maybe worth getting in contact as it's been well over 2 weeks now hasn't it, it is a notoriously drawn out long process getting a job in the industry by the seems of it, I've just been very lucky it's all been quite efficient! Where have you applied for mate? As I applied for CSA in Shrewsbury...

Thank you! I had the interview on the wednesday, had a phone call on the thursday saying I'd been successful, and they would let me know soon regarding the medical, had an email on the monday with a copy of the letter for the medical, and the medical was 3 weeks after the interview. And I was...

Sorry just noticed I commented on the driver thread not the conductor one whoops!

Is that as a driver? Many congratulations! I start on the 14th for conductor

Look forward to it, thanks for all your help regarding Shrewsbury and Chester depots, much appreciated!

Hi there :) I've recently been offered a job with Transport For Wales as a conductor, and at my interview I was advised by one of the 2 conductor managers that he had done the paper sift, and it was one comment I wrote that stood out and got me through to the next stage, and ultimately I got all...

Cheers buddy much appreciated :lol: be sure to give me a shout if and when our paths should cross!!

Craigybagel thanks very much that's great to know, really looking forward to getting started, I was originally going to shrewsbury but they asked if I would he happy to change due to changes in the Dec timetable, so I happily accepted rather than go into a talent pool! Where are you based mate?

Change of plan, spoken to the lovely lady at recruitment for TFW and they have offered me a new home depot of Chester! Very excited to get started so if there is anyone on here in the same position feel free to post! Also, any Chester guards on here who could give me any advice on training...

So I passed my medical yesterday and my contract is being sent out ready to start training in Chester on October 14th. Going to be based in Shrewsbury if I make it through the training! I'm so pleased I've been trying to get this far for ages! Is anyone else down for this training course? As it...

No problem, best of luck mate.

Hi RidingMullah, I am by no means an expert on the situation, but I have just passed my final interview with TFW for conductor, and I was given the helpful advice of researching and using some industry jargon, such as saying you will be responsible for ensuring no platform train interface...

I don't think that's quite correct?

Brilliant I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! You all seem like such a friendly bunch, I had some Chester lads last week giving me some advice, can't wait to get to school ;) see you around mate!

Thanks mate, chuffed to bits is an understatement!

Thanks again for everybody who helped with advice, I've provisionally been offered a position with TFW as a trainee conductor starting the training course on October 14th, subject to the usual checks! Conductor managers at interview, and the recruitment staff were all really nice and very...

Thanks again!

Craigybagel thank you very much for your advice and info, everyone I've spoken to so far (conductors on the way to assessments etc) have been very helpful and friendly so I've no doubt you're talking sense there. Like I said I only really wanted some concrete info so I can walk in having done...
