Puremetal... I dont have any problem with the length of time that FGW have taken to get back to me (although why send out an email 2 months ago saying you'll have the results in 7 to 10 day when there was no chance of that? However, I do object to finding out through another company that i...

I'm pleased I'm not the only one having problems with them. I'm less than impressed, and while I would never turn down a trainee driver post with any company, it does make me wonder what they're like to work for if this is how they operate. I dont mind the delays, but I think its very poor on...

I called HR last friday who gave me the number for the assessment centre in Swansea... I called Swansea to be told that we would ALL here by email today (9th Aug). I'm extremely unimpressed with FGW... Not because I have had to chance them for the results, but because I ended up finding out...

Good luck all. Whats involved in round two?

Hello, I just wondered, how to TOC's go about training their new drivers? Do all companies have their own training facilities, or is it contracted out to training providers? Just curious!... Mark

As the title says... Offer closes on 5th May!

A valid point however I when come companies have hundreds or thousands of applicants for a few posts, they use all sorts of techniques to 'bin' people at the screening stage. I just want to give myself the best available opportunity! But yes, I think you make a valid point!!!!!

I wonder if anyone can help with a query I have? The application process has space to attach a CV and covering letter, however it makes no reference in the 'advert' / job description to CV's or a covering letter. The question is... Should I attached a CV and covering letter, or just answer...

Yes, but your youtube page which you quote in all your posts clearly states your name... You can never be too carefull with what you put on the internet. Remember, once it's out there... Its out there!!!!

Thank you LCC106, but yes, the original question has been answered! I am now reading the books and practicing the tests before applying for some jobs (as and when the appear!)

Dave, I dont think anyone is trying to insult your intelligence, but your view on the subject are extremely simplified. I understand that you have worked in the airline industry so do have some experience but they really are simplified views. Very few jobs are too difficult when the going is...

Thats me covered then! - I am surprised by your views, and I'm pleased I dont know what airline you worked for!!!! I have a number of friends who fly for the airlines, and I know that their experience is very different to yours. But each to their own! Thanks very much for your luck! I...

Dave, I joined the forum to find out how to follow my dream and become a train driver, however I have to ask, would you be happy to take your family on a flight to Spain and let the pilots have a day off while your former ground crew colleagues fly you there instead? Thats a serious question so...

Shame for those of us who have to give 4 weeks notice to our current employers! What sort of salary could a depot driver expect to earn?

Dave - I'm sorry but it really is a poor comment. Gents, Thank you all for your input so far. At least the path is clearer now. We (people hoping to become train drivers) are all in the same boat, there is no buying your ticket! And I have to agree, that can only be a good thing. Flyboy...

Forget getting out, I have a lot of very good friends who are commercial and the problem at the moment is struggling to stay in... Not willing-fully leaving! Me personally. I'm not flying for the airlines... I just know and understand that system. Hence me asking if there wee any similarities!

I'm new to this forum and don't have any practical railway experience so what I'm about to say may not be 100% correct, however, I believe that it is. If the inspector cautioned you, then he must comply with PACE - The Police and Criminal Evidence Act. You don't have to be a Police Officer for...

Why do these sorts of operations loose money? Is it due to increasing costs or is there less interest from the paying public these days? - Or perhaps a combination of both?
