Just to update- I spoke to the recruitment team at SWT and they said the delay in guard interviews was due to the upgrade works at Waterloo during August, but that they plan to resume interviews from September onwards. However i am extremely skeptical about how likely it is that any...

Wow surprised to see all the replied and responses of other people in the same boat as me! :O Guess it's nice to see that im not the only one. However it does add a horrible feeling that they gna be massively over-supplied by the time they do start doing interviews again though, and so...

Well they call it a depot interview, however it may being held at Southampton like the assessment centre day was. I have tried to phone them up 2x, but just got told that i will be contacted when an interview date becomes available. And so i don't know if i should chaseup again if not...

Ive got no issue doing long or unpredictable finish time shifts, as that is exactly what i do no, except for less money and far longer hours than train guards get! :| (I start work at 5:30am every morning, and finish between 4pm - 8pm every day, 5days per week), so is a 52-60hour week every...
