Station staff London Bridge/Cannon St.

[Wizard77]

First time post - looking for info on likely shift times for above stations?(southeastern). Have interview next month and am bit concerned that I may struggle to get there on time for early shifts (believe it may be 5.30am?). Am currently researching various travel methods!

Thanks

Get a bike

Where are you commuting from?!

Thought about getting a scooter, will be commuting from gravesend. 1st train would get me to London Bridge at 5.22am, it's what to do if trains are delayed/cancelled?

Scooters a good cheap option, I know of a few people past and present who have got themselves one just so they can do the shifts.

Does anybody have any experience of what the shift pattern might be? Am imagining it's a mix of early/mid/lates, or am I way off the mark? Advert is for 37.5 hours per week, is this likely to be 5 x 8hr shifts (with unpaid 30min break) - sorry to ask so many questions, the job advert had no mention of shift patterns or annual leave entitlement etc.

The railway runs 24/7 Expect to work any time of any day.

At the stage you're at, probably best off waiting until the interview where a manager will most likely be present. Alternatively, you could ask a member of staff at one of those stations, I'm sure they'd be happy to help out! May well the case that the rota runs over 24 hours so best brace yourself on that basis!

Thanks for all your replies, think I'll try and have a chat with staff there.
