To quote “Take That”......Have a little patience. It takes time....but you will get an answer.

I see that South Eastern are advertising for qualified drivers at Victoria & Orpington Depots considering putting my name into the hat....so my questions are. 1. What are rosters like? 2. Is there links? If so, is it route or traction specific for each link? Or do drivers sign all routes &...

If I remember from my interviews (don’t know of much as changed) but Research the company..... Research the job..... Make sure you have good examples of... being able to concentrate for long periods of time How to you’ve dealt with emergencies How to deal with learning and retaining...

Earliest start is 0405 Latest finish is 0057 For all links it’s a average 35hr week. The lower link which you’ll start after becoming productive is 9 saturdays Out of 14 & 6 Sunday’s out of 14. 1x 4 rest days. Otherwise it’s 2/3 days off....

Thought you knew everything. :E:p The progression from 23 to 31k is when you pass your drivers final.

I haven’t been at SWT/SWR as long as Heel Burton but equally as well known. Haha. But again....they have trained me as a guard and as a driver. The companies aren’t perfect and the depot isn’t perfect but it’s the best job I’ve ever had, made some good friends at Waterloo and the majority of...

I have heard....I believe Salisbury have adopted the permanent swap process from Waterloo. It does amaze me how other depots haven’t taken this on board. It’s so easy.... But the railway doesn’t run or work on common sense :lol:

There are drivers at the moment that are on permanent swaps. HOWEVER, SWR are looking into this....and rumours are they will rid of permanent swaps.

From sending a completed application form to starting a course took me 2 years. And I applied internally...

Earliest start is 0403 Lastest is 0050, which is last jubilee line on a weekday (unless your in night drivers Link) Most drivers that start at 0403 or just after usually drive to Clapham Yard and park as there is a staff taxi but don’t know the times as I don’t use it. But there is parking...

No route learning packages have been issued and no drivers have been given route learning days for the new Waterloo platforms.....no idea about test trains

And platform dispatch are trained to used CD/RA on existing platforms at Waterloo

I would say CD/RA will be fitted/used. As no doubt empty rolling stock to Clapham Yard & Wimbledon Park, which is DOO will be leaving from those platforms.

Be interesting to know who will do the piloting as I know that no SWT drivers sign the up & down waterloo curve or the international platforms (not yet anyway) and I don't believe any fright drivers sign the curve either has it hasn't been driven over it for......well as long as I've been at...

The Hampton Court staff toilets (PNB point) is up there. Never any hands towels & there is no hand dryer. But annoys me when station manager or staff have time to place pictures of staff helping at the station when Hampton Court Flower Show is on but can't be bothered to replace hand towels or...

I can assure you I am no "elite" Waterloo driver and I have only been a driver for 3 years and I occasionally sit at the "top table" but all you got to do is simply stand up for yourself or challenge comments made to you. The problem is that people "believe the hype" about Waterloo "top...

And I'd like to also add that that attitude from other depots doesn't help.

I agree the messrooms at Waterloo are pretty grim and the way they are treated by other depots is disgusting.....and are very tiny considering the amount of staff we have at Waterloo along with other depots using it as well and can get very cramped. However, when was the last time you went...

No MPV link at Wimbledon. So it would be Woking that take MPVs into Wimbledon Park
