No only if we ask to front end and a DI is driving and asks us if we want a drive. We could find out i guess there shift pattern and ask to do it that way but they have enough on there plates as it is. Yeah the route is supposedly ashford to Cambridge, then blackfriars to sevenoaks as secondary...

Had a raise so now 28.4k to watch other people drive them. Yeah have been learning routes that we will sign which is hard as southeastern wont let us front end nor will great northern. Our main route will be Ashford to Cambridge so we have been told. We have only been fet for a couple of months...

Its not off for Ashford, just been delayed till DEC 2019 due to no DI to train us. We are looking at roughly a year wait until we get a di. But i never take the mick, always go in on time and do the hrs. I am thankful to have the job no matter how long it takes.

Varies from place to place, a year high speed ticket is around £5000 depending where you are so knock roughly 75% of of that.

No we have only have thameslink trainers and thameslink training programs which has been good. Apparently a lot easier than how southeastern are training people. Yeah I will move down near ashford when I pass out all being well.

Yeah I waited till I actually had the contract before getting to excited. Yeah training is going well, we are doing a new program called dlp so will be interesting if you are doing this or not. I will be based at ashford but training all over at the moment, just making my way to Bedford now. I...

Yeah I had about 3 weeks before I received my contract from my start date. In this time they are mainly.doung reference checks rec. Good luck with the new job, what depot are you going to?

Hi guys stuck on a question can anyone help. What speeds are associated with train movements within Cauldwell depot? Hope someone can help. Cheers

Considering its my first time ever at the front of a train it was really good, nice central driving position, very good cameras for the doors making sure everyone was clear. definitely got up to speed quickly but cannot compare to anything else and the brakes were very good, it runs apparently 5...

I am currently studying the new driver learning program dlp for Ashford depot, its very much about you learning it yourself rather than being told something in a classroom. Still very new to it, passed pts this week and went out in a class 700 today for the first time, fyi we are only being...

Yes received my iPad first day we met our trainers, this was today for me.

That does seem quite a long time to me, my wait was roughly 2 weeks between each stage but I may have been very lucky

I was getting around 10 to 11 lines, the test paper I found a lot easier as its larger and bigger gaps in between. I cannot stress enough how important the group Borden is, about 60% people fail it, did at my assessment any way. Take you time and if you are not sure about anything ask the...

No not all emergency, lone working was one of them, customer service also came into it but cannot remember all the questions they asked now. Was a few months ago.

Hi baz most of the questions were about explaining a time you did something, so for me an emergency situation was seeing a motorcyclist being knocked of the bike and explaining what I did, how I reacted keeping calm etc, also will need to think about the loan working part, I work 10 hrs a day by...

The mmi if they don't like some of your answers will try and guide you to the answer they want you to give them if that makes sense. Also they might make you change some of the answers that you gave but at least with me I was able to discuss the situation and see which answer would be most...

I found this one the hardest of all the interviews as all of the questions I had got an answer for they did not ask me at all so really threw me. I walked out and 95% sure I had failed it, they then made me wait for almost 3 weeks before telling me I had passed. I have now passed everything...

Will catch train from Swanley direct to Kentish town for free job done.

:lol: No, am wanting to know did people take their own car and stay at hotel, if so where? Or just travel up on the day and hope they are not delayed. I have always used my car for everything averaging 50k a year so using public transport ironically is a bit daunting. I also have a...
