Bit more than 5 minutes now it's moved over the trak to the roc...

Correct, most of the training school is now at the Basingstoke ROC. It should be a 10 minute walk but due to a lot of regeneration works in the area you have to take a slight detour to get there and it currently takes roughly 20 minutes.

Did the move it at the same time they made most of the trainers redundant?

It's about a mile from the station to the roc. Obviously if you're staff then you should be following the official walking route which has been amended due to the John Lewis and Waitrose development...
