Not wishing to hijack this thread (good luck to all those who apply!), but does anybody know how long the XC Careers website has been down for and if it will be back up anytime soon?

The server's incorrectly (or just badly) configured. You need to make sure you put "www." in front of the address or it will return an error.

Training is 12 months? I assume they mean you are basically on probation for the first 12 months? That's a bit off gettjt a training wage when you will be out doing turns as a productive guard/conductor. You should be on full whack as soon as you have completed training and signed off all your routes and traction.

Couldn't get that site to work in Firefox, I had to use IE.

I'm sure this has been explained before, but how do the jobs work for SNR Conductors if they're based in Bristol, lots of Taxis/Pass moves to/from where? Cardiff?

I thought the Conductors/Senior Conductors are those who sign the 170 services, so why would they be based in Bristol, as opposed to Cardiff or Birmingham?

They sign Cardiff to Birmingham plus diversions, I believe.

I've been told that most crew changes take place at Newport, so they travel pass from Bristol (or taxi at extreme ends of the day).

Good luck to those who apply

Believe it or not they sign Stansted and through to Nottingham as well.

If you mean Bristol SC's then thats not true

Newport rather than Cardiff than. Thanks.

Classic example of the mess that the fragmentation of our railway system has made on the day to day running of the railway...

XC guards (ex Central) are on trainee wages for 12 months, like the trainees at London Midland.

Bristol 170 Guards only sign Cardiff to .Birmingham New Street plus diversions.
All their work is either passenger or taxi to/from Newport or Cardiff.

They are the only depot in the country who don't sign the railway that leads to their depot!

XC at Bristol have two depots Train managers (voyagers) and Senior Conductors (170s) progression is via vacancy and application even for SCs.

Training wage for 12 months has put a lot of prospective Guards from FGW off.
