How do folks,
Just a quick one. I know I am not alone with this one as there are at least 5 people at my depot alone that are affected by this.
I left a TOC in May this year after 3 years of service and started a role at another TOC.
Should the recent proposal be accepted by the RMT...
I have just passed my Conductors assessments for TPE. There are positions at York and one at Sheffield. I am yet to decide which one to take.
Are there any TPE conductors at York or Sheffield that can give me a quick list of pros and cons for both depots???
I have applied for this position recently and I have completed an online assessment, I am waiting to hear what comes next.
I want to get to know more about the role, working at Piccadilly and TPE as a TOC. Is there anyone from TPE on the forum who might be able to help??

Hey Ledders, I have had my eye on a career on the railway for some time now. A few things have become apparent to me. These observations are based on the TOC's that I have applied to in the South East, First Capital Connect and Southern.
1. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to recruitment...
I am a member of a trade union. At the moment I work for a large British Airline. I was involved in probably the most bitter and protracted industrial dispute of recent times.
I would ALWAYS encourage anyone to join a Trade Union, regardless of your political beliefs. You can not put a price...
