Thanks both. I did try trainsplit, yes, but without luck on that route it seems. Thanks for the heads up on MK to Gatwick, that could work!

Hello all, My brother is travelling from Bedford to Gatwick in the New Year. He'll be travelling on a Friday to get to Gatwick for about 1pm and then returning 8 days later on the Saturday, leaving Gatwick at around 15:00. The default fare seems to be about £39.30. He can start his journey from...

She (Jan) has been announcing at New Street since 2001.

Turn up ahead of time, be smartly dressed, friendly and practice some answers beforehand to some of the obvious questions that will come up. Do you research on the railway and station. Good luck!

I got 270 for BHM. But that's still some way behind the top 2!

Hello. I believe all the details should be in the email including a link to some practice questions. Definitely do the practice as it gives best insight as to what the assessment is. If it's the same one I did then it's a paragraph with information and then a question based on that paragraph...

Those aren't our shifts, but are similar. Additionally, training lasts generally lasts 6 weeks. It can be quicker if you have a background in the railway already. Or it can take longer :s Here's our CURRENT shifts. There's no obvious pattern to which you work but it's on a nine week loop and...

I think the idea is to have different types voices so that passengers listen more. But I've taken that on board and will feed it back. I can see your frustration.

Currently, it's a nine week roster which has a week of nights in there. And there can be overtime, yes.

Hmmm pass. But it's around £22.5k before tax so I'm sure that's easy to work out depending on your tax situation.

Is that just with pen and paper? Or is there a fancy way of doing it?

Yeah that and the fact the advert went up later than hoped! Thankfully it's there now. Also, last time they were advertised it was very popular so the window doesn't need to be that long. Good luck!!

1. I'm not 100% sure but we have three vacancies right now, so once all the HR stuff is done then it would be an immediate start (I would guess). 2. It is indeed Control Room based. There's four main working stations in the Control Room: two SCA's working together, one coordinator and one...

Hello! Good to hear! Yes I do, how can I help?

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere. It's a massive (excellent) forum and I've used the search function but not really found anything to cover it. Firstly, does anyone know which station is the most "networked" on the network? ie from which station can you get to the most other stations with...

Hello all! There's three vacancies currently at Birmingham New Street for the role of Station Control Assistant. It's a great role with plenty of opportunities for development and training which could lead to roles such as Co-ordinator, SSM, signalling to name just a few. These can be found on...

Air-conditioning in rear cab was broken. Problem was later fixed meaning replacement wasn't needed.

Many thanks for the response! I've been looking through the forum for a while now, but only just registered. That's a very interesting website, I'll be sure to look on there for times that I can pop down and see a train go down the line.

Afternoon all. First post on here, so be gentle with me. I've just moved to Stourbridge and our road backs on to the Round Oak line. I've done a search of this forum and found a closed thread from a couple of years ago with some timetable info. Does anyone know how I'd find out more info about...
