Trainee holiday is about 24 days I believe although you don't really get a chance to take it in the first 6 months, pay is about 26k. 52k qualified, next few years takes pay to 63k plus around £500 for each Sunday worked and you will do a minimum of 12 Sundays.

You can apply again in 6 months to any GTR company, I know someone who failed DMI and then 6 months later applied again and went straight to DMI and passed. It's hard to get so far then fall at the last hurdle but don't give up, work on your Interview skills as much as possible and give it...

Not soon, the pay deal given is over the next few years so a new agreement would have to be made. I doubt they have enough Drivers to do it anyway. You have to work the Sunday as it's your responsibility if it's one of you duty Sundays.

I'm currently on a course with someone from Bedford and he has been allocated KX but once the new depots are up and running will get either Hornsey or WGC. I wouldn't worry too much about it until you're qualified, lots can change and happen in that time. Good luck with your assessment...

The main thing is to get on the GN side, they give you a depot you do your time and wait for a position at the one that suits you.

There are but when they say about GN-south that's below Hitchin and they are all full, new depots WGC and Hornsey are most likely where you will end up and then have to put in a transfer request.

South depots are below Hitchin so at the moment that's Kings Cross, there are new planned depots at Hornsey and Welwyn Garden City.

You might be able to but as soon as you start you can order through the website.

If you have the ability the test are not too hard, most important thing is to fully understand each test. When I did mine a couple failed because they did it wrong, before each test starts you have the opportunity to confirm what is being asked by the assessor, make sure you do. Good luck...

If you work hard you will be fine, the assessments generally weed out those who don't have the ability.

Average of 2 hours for me.

Full salary from the moment you qualify on GN/TL.

Terms and conditions can change long after employment as ex Fire Service I know that too well, as a trainee you won't have time to even worry about it believe me.

Brilliant so far, really enjoying it. Lots of studying but so far so good!

Hitchin has limited staff parking which you apply for once you start.

Age should not be brought up in interview, totally unprofessional as it leads to an interviewee questioning if that is why they did not get the position. Of course it most likely isn't the case as TOC's have employed over 55's as trainees but it does lead to doubt because of a question, that is...

No you don't have to look at anything as it's all given to you those 2 days, as long as you spend some time going thorough it in the evening you will be fine. All our group passed without issues. From what I've see and done so far you get weekends off during the first 6 months of input but...

I've just finished week 4, I'm on the old style course so this may not apply to you as I know they have a new way of carrying out the training and I'm not sure how that works. You will do the general induction stuff then go onto PTS which for my course was 2 days training then on the third day...

Haha, those boots are fine and comfortable! Yes you do get 130 points to use by July also.
