Oh I guess that is a good point

Shame- naming them could have saved a fellow forum member quite a few pounds but still! I guess this was another crime that wasn't reported to the police! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Many thanks for this post- it makes very interesting reading indeed!

That sounds like a brilliant idea! Still I always use tube stations as i don't trust/use corner shops! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Have you produced the program yet? I guess it might be Rip Off Britain? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It's a shame you...

Good luck mate!

Oh thanks! I have been checking TfL website for nearly 2 years regularly and haven't seen any bus station jobs,yet! So it's a bit like the CSA recruitment done in rare big batches Oh I see so the Coach Station use agencies- I'll definitely pop in and ask a staff member- if I see that nice lady...

Hi, Can anyone tell me any agencies which TfL use for the bus and coach station recruitment? Or any agencies for any transport customer service roles? As I know most vacancies don't seem to be advertised on TfL's website! Thanks in advance!

I looked online and it looks like they only want to prosecute people for fare evasion and no job section, however I will phone them tomorrow thanks!

Thanks for that link! That's true- First do pay quite high- though i don't know how much Arriva pays! I know work isn't guaranteed but experience and networking is worth it so i can get a permanent one!

I guess if you don't mind commuting there's bound to be more opportunities in say London or Birmingham?

I totally agree with you here! I think unions are good but when they're not as aggressive as they were in the 70s and 80s ! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You forget that the union has to get it's money from fellow workers- that's just like saying the government will pay...

I totally understand- the pensions are much better than the private sector equivalent too! Wow - i guess that 10 min walk isn't a safe walk home at night! Wow- Arriva seem much more generous than First! They don't pay anything towards travel or mobile lool! I wonder if they are the same with...

You must have a car to do that early shift! 12 hour shifts?! That must be real difficult with all that standing and stuff- the longest of the 2 shifts I've done so far is 6 hours so far! Fortunately London transport is good so I can do some late shifts I guess it's because we wouldn't can't...

We're neglected lol! Are the hours unsociable for you too , so far I've only got the night shifts so far! Though I hear Network Rail is the same too!

Well if the agreement is legally binding then the courts can be used, even if it's not there's still mediation and things such as 'work to rule' and bans on overtime to force the hand of the employer. Also didn't TfL roll over for tube drivers whose inflation busting pay rises don't include...

Shouldn't they wait till the recession is over to avoid being seen with the CEOs aka 'Fat cats' who get pay rises despite rising unemployment and falling wages? I'm not a PR man but I think people should avoid having a bad reputation Also is it wise for tube drivers to push for higher pay...

Oh yeah, i'm doing the same with First- though I was disappointed that we don't free travel :(

I'm glad you can see my point- though I guess it all depends on your circumstances- especially if you can afford it or not! Personally I feel unions which have gone on strike during the last 6 years of recession for higher pay -especially with high unemployment after all a good union should...

Sadly not if you want to get a job in the transport sector :-(

Tbf bus driver wages aren't that bad- they are significantly better than minimum wage..though they are still a far way of tube/train drivers wages Actually it's disgusting that (some) unions donate to the Labour party and allow the leaders to be in a similar league to the 'fat cats' they...

Can I just ask what area does Arriva do? Wales-they run trains there right? I work in London
