Depot contacts

[hornbyfan99]

Does anybody have contacts for Selhurst and Hornsey Depots?

I applied for work experience a while ago and have since had no reply.

If anyone has, please let me know.

Thank you.

1/ What sort of work experience are you looking for?
2/ Do they actually do work experience schemes?
3/ Did you actually have a contact name and address for the depot?
4/ Did you just 'cold call' them?

If the answer to 2/ and 3/ is no or the answer to 4/ is yes do you think they have the time/energy/inclination to contact everybody who writes to them?

Gave them my correct details etc.

I am looking for 'shadowing' work experience. Generally looking at the overall operations of the depots given.

I initially had no direct personal contact for the depots, I only had the Ian Allan depot guide book with the addresses to the depots. This is where I try and get contact with the depots.

AFAIK they do not do work experience schemes. BUT in the past, I wrote to Wembley Chiltern depot who did not have work exp placements and eventually got a work exp placement there.

You might be better off contacting the relevant HR / Recruitment departments of the companies you are considering. Have a look at their public websites - there is usually a 'contact us' section and they might be able to point you in the right direction or put you in touch with someone. I could be wrong, but I doubt you will get a reply writing to depots.
