Im pretty sure only only avanti do CBI

Probably would out of all of them but it's still mainly stopper work I believe but certainly a better mix then cricklewood. Im sure GN have a different rest day set up to TL but I'm not sure exactly.

Definitely no depot at blackfriars, it's only been closed about 9 years lol. Tbh they are all intensive stopper work, st albans and cricklewood will be mostly double sutton loops but I'd look at whats closest. Think they all have nights.

They are just admin bods basically there to fill the jobs that the CDM doesn't want to do, sickness, mfa etc. They aren't driver qualified and are pretty much just a hyped up admin assistant.

3 fails ever, you can pass it as many times as you want but it's for all companies, not per company

They are both part of the assessments so if you failed both you'd have no lives left though its changed to 3 fails now not 2 if not undertaken yet.

Theres no guarantee unfortunately

Certainly not a job id want to be taking up in my late 50s, the shifts are extreme and they do take a toll on your body no matter how much you think you can handle them, they do wear you down but if you think you can handle it then give it a go.

Normally 6 months

They wont be lenient, the times are there to help manage fatigue, there has to be a cut off and with an influx of people applying it's one of the easiest ways to filter people out.

Its not as good as some thats for sure but if it's a closer commute it will cost less in fuel and give you more time at home anyway. Id argue the work will be better and more laid back then ARL too. Sundays are outside so a good chance to boost the wage as well

Why don't you try chiltern at marylebone? They are looking for qualifieds at the moment

If it's cricklewood at TL then take GWR all day long, you'll be dizzy within 12 months at cricklewood doing the same rubbish every day.

No sundays are outside but they do have committed sundays at Southern and committed at TL at 8/12 a year depending on when you started with the company. I would argue that gwr is probably the better place to work, less doo probably, lower workload.

The 74k at GTR wont include sundays either lol but I would go with whoever is closer as above, wont notice that much difference.
