If it can be arranged, do any of the new starters fancy a beer before we embark on our intensive training
Ok how does Reading sound friday evening?
Yeah they do. The only time they didn't give me a free pass was when I went to my interview at reading depot.
For my assessments and Medical I was either sent a ticket, or sent an email that I had to print off and take with me. To be honest I could have written the email myself as it wasn't headed or even signed, the gate staff had to check it out at both ends as they weren't sure, but the ticket inspectors on the train seemed to know what it was and obviously seen the letter before. Bit of a pain but there was a direct mobile phone number to the recruitment guy that sent me the email.
Congratulations on becoming a trainee driver, and also to everyone else that has done so.
Just a quick question about the above, how long before the tests did you receive your tickets via post to get to the assesments and interview, I only ask as I have been invited for these next week in reading and nothing was mentioned on the email from the recruitment team about this.
Thanks
Ta very much.
I think most (if not all) of the people starting in Feb did assessments at Newport in Wales, so arrangements might be different. I think the paper letter and authority to travel for the assessments came the week before.
When I had my manager interview at Reading, they didn't make any provision for travel - I had to make my own way there.
Good luck for next week.
autotank - I noticed your location is oxfordshire also, is your home depot oxford as well?
Even though I have already booked a train ticket, yesterday I got a one day travel pass to go to the assessment....
No, I'll be based at Reading which is actually closer to me.
Any news on the drink in the week chaps?
Is anyone else based at oxford or is it just me, all on my own. Boo hoo !!
As for drinks how does friday evening sound around 19:00? Autotank suggested the three Guineas by Reading station.
What are you guys going to wear on your first day? Is it a full blown suit and tie etc.?
