Newly appointed Ticket Examiner role - any info to share please?

[Tara100]

Hello

I was offered a p/t ticket examiner job last week (Devon) and I'm so chuffed as I really wanted the job

I have just completed my CRB disclosure application, and just need to hear from the external agency dealing with my referees, and when I have to take the BUPA medical.
Can anyone shed any light on the medical please? I understand that it is not as rigorous as those set for driver roles for example, but it would still be good to know what to expect.
Also, (I think) my induction will take place in Reading - can anyone shed any light on this as that's all I know for now.

I'd love to hear from any other ticket examiners about the role in general too (I do know that non paying passengers won't be delighted to see me!)

Many thanks in advance
Tara

I had a non saferty critical Bupa Medical last week for a FGW job and it is nothing to worry about. Blood pressure, drug test and breath test for alcohol. Also you`ll need to fill in quite a lengthly questionnaire. You`ll get the email from the reference agency after the medical. Well done!

That sounds easy enough; thank you.
