London can mean Willesden, Wembley, Chessington, Angerstein, Cliffe, Grain, Bristol East, Quainton, Plumstead (if and when), + any other sites that may appear.. but lodging is a regular occurence and you could be anywhere and everywhere

I managed 18 RDs every 13 weeks at Eastleigh.. not sustainable though

My suggestions would be., only do what you’re trained to do (i.e. you’re not a doctor), don’t be afraid to challenge unsafe situations (even if a more experienced person says something)., I’m sure there’s more, just can’t remember what they asked now..

I had an immediate invite to video interview

Hurry up and do it.. it’s not hard, 5 basic customer service questions where you record answer

It was 12 weeks lodging away from home in classroom setting, maybe basic traction.. after that you move to home depot to do (I assume), routes and handling hours

1m to read, 3m to answer, 2 attempts.. standard customer service questions

15m

A lovely 4 hour drive on a Sunday night for you., make sure you use your full dinner allowance everyday! £25 worth of maccy Ds a day and you’ll soon look like a proper driver. 2 years productive mainline now, but we regularly go down to the maritime to cover etc

Video interview completed., not my finest hour.. but see how we go

Eastleigh driver here.. i would hope.. given they've just refurbished all things FL at Eastleigh, and your location being Eastleigh.. that they may try and make use of the meeting room they now have there.. there are going to be a good deal of vacancies at Eastleigh by year end, so hopefully...

Questions were also in a different order to LNER., GWR had (in my opinion), harder ones earlier., so didn’t get as far in this one..

Potentially a stupid question.. however.. should one already have passed the level 3 train driver apprenticeship elsewhere, does this make you ineligible? I have applied regardless as you never know what’s happening internally..

I once said I was tired to the person training me.. I had to submit my hours worked in my second job and be monitored for fatigue for 4 months.. ultimately management didn't care, it was more of a tool to emphasise the importance of avoiding fatigue. My second job pays £21 on a Sunday and £45...

164 pages is a lot of browsing., anyone that’s recently started/been through the process., can you briefly explain accommodation and travel the the training please? Training in Tilbury, Home Depot is Eastleigh. I emailed and got a reply stating “the scheme will run out of reading with vehicles...

woking-specific - 7 new ones just finished/finishing training including myself.. I'm leaving to go drive, and there's a number retiring soon, so there is the potential for some vacancies to arise.. but I personally wouldn't expect much movement for several months.. await the intro of 701s

Looks like it.. i had to turn down Southampton with an august start date as we have a newborn early September., so pleased I didn’t have to wait that long!

Hello! Got my call.. intermodal driver out of Eastleigh.. was 6th on waiting list prior to this.. Weeks 1-11 21939 Weeks 12-49 28208 Week 50+ 51765 with pay being negotiated end of this year suggestion was that training will take place in Tilbury (most likely) or Crewe.

Agree with stations in order first.. and ultimately I did my guard's route learning by exceptions and patterns.. if a platform curves with you, nearly always a banner repeater, and if it curves against you/island platform, you get an off indicator. No starter signal at Norbiton.. starter signals...

Until my coaching the week before I hadn't needed to leave the house before 7 since November., training school and GIs don't like to start early. I was fine until 3am, but then I laid down next to my son to settle him and went out like a light waking up at 6.. just embarrassing. I've got 1 week...
