Staff car parking passes definitely available for Lich City if that is your nearest station to home address. Imagine the same applies for LTV too

Any vacancies to be taken up with redundant DBS drivers apparently. Highly doubtful if any more trainee courses in foreseeable.

Aim for the barriers at the "b" end of the concourse for platforms 7-12. Looking at the barriers - you will have Marks and Sparks on your right and Network Rail Reception on your left. Lots of network rail staff milling about to point you in right direction when you get on the concourse...

Check your acceptance/offer letter from HR. Did it say something along the lines of - "we hereby make you a conditional offer following the successful completion of criminal records checks, receipt of employment references, and passing a medical" Or did it say - "we hereby make you an...

So how do you intend to keep this important discussion regarding the ever looming threat to passenger safety and to the guards livelihood at the forefront of peoples minds? Do you intend to make this petition or others with the same aim a sticky?

No personal experience of this - but bearing in mind the financial investment your company have made I certainly wouldn't say a dicky bird to anyone - including HR - until you have passed out! Grin and bear it until then if I was in your shoes. You may still be within a probationary period in...

Well here's an extract from an email I received a couple of years ago from the HR Director of a large TOC: "I can confirm that currently the data from nationally recognised tests are maintained on a common database which the TOCs access to see if some one has already passed the tests. I...

Hams Hall - Coleshill?
