PTAN Editor

[afcb55]

Hi All,

I'm new here as you can see.

At the moment i'm a station assistant for London Underground but I have a job interview for SWT for a PTAN editor.

Being from a LU background, i'm actually not 100% sure what a PTAN is, I applied assuming it was similar to LU's 'Traffic Circular', can anyone confirm whether this is the case.

Also, does anybody know if SWT refund travel expenses for interviews? Is their salary structure pretty rigid or are most jobs negotiable depending on experience etc.?

Sorry for so many questions, if anybody has any answers or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate your help...

I think, well at least it used to be and can't imagine it has changed, but you will be sent a pass to get you from your home station to where the interview is, which maybe well be Basingstoke or Southampton, though guess could be Waterloo/friars bridge.

Not looked in a ptan for a while, but it has all the amended timetables due to engineering work and special events. It also lists major events going on on SWT patch , lots of phone numbers for guards to use and no doubt a lot more I've forgotten...

PTAN was a good aid when I was a guard, very useful publication, although seeing a pile of thick ones used to make my heart sink. I have known them to be 2 inches thick, that is a lot of alteration!
