Relocating for the trainee driver job is not possible as the OPC have said that moving house is considered a significant life event. This also includes other things such as having an operation, illness etc. You will therefore have to repeat the psychometric again after six months once you’ve...

Day one consisted of the RAAT and SCAAT paper tests. Day two included a drive in a manual vehicle around the local area. When you arrive back at the depot you complete a hazard perception test, a video plays and you click the screen when you spot a hazard. If you pass all that you get invited...

https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/whats-it-like-driving-for-southeastern.257261/ This thread may be of relevance. It has some info about driver rosters.

It says on their website you could be placed in a talent pool for future recruitment. I wonder if this is a new thing, or if they’ve just put it there to look the same as other brands like Chiltern.

I would say Elephant & Castle is one of the busiest stations in London. There is no step free access to either the mainline or underground station.

There is level access to platform one only.

Also why does the DSD always go off when departing Surrey Quays when the train hasn’t even been moving for 1 second yet to warrant an activation?

I applied for this recently as it’s still open. How long does it take to be fast tracked to DMI with OPC passes already?

What is the exact number of vacancies they are trying to fill from this campaign?

What are the consequences of having two separate power supplies mix with each other through the cross connection? Both the ELL and Sussex line are 750V DC after all.

That makes sense, is this gap section at NXG the length of a five car train?

Even if they wanted to separate the ELL electrification from the Sussex electrification they could probably achieve it with a shorter gap section. I just find it odd there’s a long gap section and then two third rails. Why not just put it lower down to close the gap.

I’ve always known third rail to be placed on one side of the track only, however, departing New Cross Gate on the Overground tracks there is a third rail on both sides of the track after a relatively long gap section. I’m suspecting it’s there to provide extra power up the gradient. I’m not...

Some individuals have advanced to the assessment centre stage, and I was invited to one myself last month.

I attended stage one last week and just received the same email :)! Passed everything to enhanced.
