    Christmas TV. Even Worse Than Usual ?

    Agreed; my personal view is that JC, good as it is, is probably slightly past its prime, whereas Sherlock is very much at the top of its game right now. So high hopes for Sunday evening!

    Why did I have to give my address when I refunded my Oyster card?

    Not sure what "right" merchants have to know the identity of their customers...! That said, there's no restriction on them asking for, and storing this data, so long as its use is restricted to the purpose for which it was collected (Data Protection legislation). Some merchants are required to...

    Why did I have to give my address when I refunded my Oyster card?

    Interesting, I recently (29 November) had a member of staff assist me at Charing Cross tube station with refunding an Oyster card using the ticket machines. All went very smoothly, no questions asked. Mind you, I do have a TfL oyster account wherein my address details are registered...

    Arriva Rail London - Qualified/Trainee Driver Vacancies - Dec 2016

    Applied for the trainee driver role today, submitted at 1650 with 10 mins before the cut-off! I live in Kent, but mentioned in my covering letter that I am willing to relocate if successful. Will be interesting to see if that's a deal-breaker for getting any further through the process...

    Trainee Driver Vacancy - Thameslink

    Found out about this 2 hours before the deadline and applied with 5 minutes to spare! Got confirmation of receipt so at least my application will be considered.

    Tonbridge to Redhill - Southern or SouthEastern?

    Tonbridge to Redhill - Southern or SouthEastern?

    Trainee driver medical requirements: prescription drugs?

    Thanks for all the thought-provoking responses. My conclusion is that I shouldn't necessarily be put off from applying purely on the grounds of my prescription... --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Good point, well made!

    Trainee driver medical requirements: prescription drugs?

    I'm very interested in applying for a trainee driver position, but would like to know if having been prescribed anti-depressant drugs (either at present or in the past) would completely eliminate me on medical grounds? Thanks for any help/advice, Steve
