    I dont think they are looking for "blank canvases" nor do I think they are looking for younger applicants who have 35 years of service to offer. At my 1st stage assessment there were 2 candidates present who were approx 50 years of age and as far as I know at least one of them has progressed to...

This whole 'choose your depot' seems a bit nuts to me, would be a lot more sensible & logical from them if they simply allocated you to depots via your postcode taken off your application form.......but I'd guess that the original 'sift' of applications takes what depot(s) you...
