Southeastern Grove Park depot. DM interview

[theageofthetra]

Hi I have an interview at the depot next week and was wondering if anyone had driven there. Looking at Google maps it looks quite a walk from the station. Is there anyone on here who can confirm if I can just drive there or do I need some kind of security pass to get in?
I was also wondering if I could get any feedback on how this depot compares to other London one for shifts/variety/staff morale etc? I will of course be just happy to get into the role but it would be nice to have some inside advice on which depots are best. I am also slightly unsure if Southeastern training is done at the depot or at Tonbridge. Thanks for any help and good luck to anyone being interviewed there this week.

You can drive in the main gate, however if you are walking from the station there is a path but requires Hi-Vi and of course a PTS.

The walk from station to grove park is a good 25 mins. If your not qualified dont even think about the route above. Easiest way is drive upto gate, buzz and they will let you in. The drivers have a pass to get in but obviously you wont so a quick buzz on the gate to the coordinator and you should be fine

Thanks for your help. Is the entrance you can drive in to the one off Gables Close? Looking on Google maps I think the the office I need is located at the carpark on the down side.

Yeah gables close is the one.
