    This video on Greater Anglia's youtube channel seems to confirm that.

    Greater Anglia - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I've just come across this video on youtube which suggests Greater Anglia will be accepting trainee driver applications from tomorrow, 2 May 2025. Nothing in writing on the TOC's own website yet.

    SouthEastern WiFi

    Would be interested to know what sort of speeds people are getting; between Tonbridge and London Bridge (375 electrostars on SE mainline) I'm get between 1.5 and 2 Mb/s, up and downlinks.

    "Calendar month" definition - monthly seasons

    Monthly season tickets are retailed on the basis of a "calendar month", but how is this defined; is there any industry standard algorithm in use? Examples: Start date: 15 Jan gives last valid date 14 Feb. Start 31 Jan = end 28 Feb in non leap year, 29 in leap years. Start 29 Feb in leap year...

    Lorry hits OHLE protection barrier at level crossing in Motherwell

    Interesting hypothesis. If true, then the lorry driver is considerably less reckless than the images appearing in the media might suggest...

    Network Rail tripod ban?

    I visited King's Cross yesterday, signed in at reception, watched the safety briefing and attempted to set up camera and tripod at the far end of the platforms, furthest from ticket barriers. Within minutes a member of NR staff (very politely) informed me that "tripods are banned in the...

    Freight train derailed at Lewisham 24/01

    Chances of freight being diverted via Medway Valley Line (again) while this is repaired - anyone?!

    Thanks, I was lucky to visit at the height of the autumn colours. Is your pic Rannoch?

    OK, that was clearly considerably easier than I had thought! Garve it is!

    Southern trainee train driver job on their website

    Here's a screengrab of the relevant questions: Note the scope of the two questions: It seems to me that they are being pretty specific and sweeping in their "at any stage of the recruitment process" question and don't mean just the driver assessment - especially since this is the...

    Part-time train drivers?

    I'm guessing that this means drivers work a reduced number of days rather than working the full four days but on shorter shifts?

    Southern trainee train driver job on their website

    ...and that's another can of worms: how do you define "another company". My previous rejection was from Thameslink, not Southern. However both are GTR brands. Same company? I wish they'd taken a little more care with the formulation of that question!

    Part-time train drivers?

    I think someone's having a laugh here! Quote from BBC News article entitled Strike-hit Govia Thameslink seeks Southern train drivers: "Part-time drivers" - are they serious? I think that most readers here (including many from harsh personal experience) know that the supply of candidates...

    Southern trainee train driver job on their website

    I have to agree with this; 'waiting your time' seems to be the only option. I applied to Thameslink before Christmas. I didn't get past the initial paper sift (and don't know the reason(s) why, maybe never will). Therefore, in the Southern trainee application, I have to answer the question...
