I emailed this morning to ask what was going on with Edinburgh as I was holding off applying for conductor roles in the meantime... and got a thanks but no thanks email about two hours later
Gotta laugh or you’d cry
Or following the delay attribution guide which is available for all parties to read, and you’re even able to follow the nice simple flowcharts to get to the same conclusion as the TDA!! Not all decisions are popular but what’s why there’s a dispute process.
Everyone has a job to do. No one...
Different approach. As I said above, it’s more about your skills and attributes that relate to the job. They do however want to know you’re aware of the life saving rules and the whole ‘home safe everyday’ thing.
The job involves a lot of conflict situations, so think about any examples of...

Hence why I ended my post with ‘remain realistic’.
I never once insinuated I was the only one who ‘knew individuals’, however as l’m sure you’ll be aware the railway is full of Chinese whispers and half-truths and I’m just trying to give people the same little bit of hope I was given. All I’m...
Yeah but their ‘change of business needs’ is new traction, increased service frequency and an increase in natural wastage. I previously worked for VTEC and know invididuals that still do, some which are internal candidates waiting for trainee driver start dates with the exact same communication...
The wording in their email says it’s an offer of position subject to medical..
I do think it’s important not to put all your eggs in one basket, but VTEC have made comment about another trainee driver recruitment drive after this one due to natural wastage etc, so I don’t think we have anything...
