    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    Out comes the begging bowl every single day;) I mean, what kind of lobotomised moron falls for this blatant grift?! There’s a few of them at it on Twitter; Stuchberry, Grimes, EU Supergirl. I can just see it on a CV now: Previous Positions: I send Tweets attacking the Tories/Supporting...

    Football fans "shunted out by train bosses"

    If Football fans treated the railway with respect, perhaps the railway might be more willing to accommodate the needs of football ‘fans’?

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    Staggered to read on Twitter today the now deleted tweet from that parasitic anti-Semite grifter, Rachael Cousins, regarding the Labour Leadership candidates and what she demands of them. Task number one for the new leader is to boot this piece of filth out of Labour, and send the likes of Owen...

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    On the last course was a guy out of Control. Of course, he is rules trained so I presume that classed as ‘operational experience’? It’s so bloody ambiguous, I can’t wait to see how it is actually interpreted!

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    Ummm, quite a few of my friends have failed them recently, which is kinda awkward, especially when some of those are fail number 2. A HR’y person I converse with now and then told me it’s about a 17% pass rate....

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    There’s been a fair amount of discussion on this away from this board. I took it to mean rules-trained which would rule out catering grades for a start. Other interpretations are available! As you say, it’s rather ambiguous....!

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    Agreed on Milne. As for Lewis, I was taking the pee out of his obsession with calling everyone ‘comrade’, as if he’s Stalin or something. Moron.

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    How is Burgon even in the party still, let alone on the ballot for deputy leader?! Madness.

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    Some guff about dropping out in the spirit of something or other. Clive, we can all see almost nobody nominated you, you misogynistic Communist prat.

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    LOL! I wish all who are eligible to apply the very best with it all. I think out of necessity, it’ll become open to all in the next few years, so don’t despair if you aren’t eligible this time. Remember, only a tiny percentage pass the psychometric tests so it’ll not be long before the...

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    I started off thinking it was only Keir Starmer who was plausible, but I’m warming to Lisa Nandy. I think it’ll still be Mr Starmer if I’m honest...

    Next Labour Leader - Confirmed as Keir Starmer

    Thanks:) I had a feeling RMT had dis-affiliated some time previously. You’ve just refreshed my memory! Perhaps I’ll have to join, really can’t stand the idea of Rebecca Wrong-Daily as leader. Not sure Jess Phillips will get enough support so I guess Keir Starmer or Lisa Nandy are the better...

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    I know some that have gone from Guard to Driver, there are some similarities in terms of rules/regs knowledge, and they found it advantageous during the course. I also know of a driver who came from outside who says he found it hard to complete the course, compared with those who had come from...

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    They want 14 people, I think it is - they can easily find 14 suitable candidates from within. There will be more recruitment next year and the year after that and so on. They are new to recruiting unqualified trainees, and they feel they’ll find it easier to train from within, so that’s what...

    I don’t work in Recruitment. Sorry.

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    It is you saying that. Even if you’re only quoting them, you are using their words to try to make a point, so you obviously believe in it. Sorry, you are like Richard Burgon being interviewed by Kay Burley at present; you are making it far too easy. Keep on keeping on if you like.... And no...

    Train Driver Jobs: Internal or external recruitment

    You’re literally telling somebody else - a recruitment team - how to do their job right now in this thread. I think I’d stop now if I was you, before this becomes even more embarrassing for you than it already is. Who said only Guards should progress from within the industry? How about platform...
