There's no longer at seat service. It ended a while back so they'll need to update their website. Only the click and collect service is available now but it's very few trains that have it switched on. It's only the shop catering you can purchase. Not 1st class items can be bought.

It's not a rumour. Gone from the June 24 timetable change. DfT told them to ditch it.

I've been told after numerous attempts at contacting them that there are currently no assessment dates and they'll be in touch. I applied in July last year. Heard from them in November to attend an assessment day, which I couldn't and it's taken 2 months for me to finally get that response...

Yes, it's for Conductor. Check your spam emails also it may be in there. Both practice papers and invite were sent to me at the same time, just in separate emails

I was given a date to attend. Not a Iink to book a date. I did receive the practice papers in a separate email

I completed the online assessment and was invited to attend the assessment day in Glasgow. Unfortunately I couldn't get out of work to attend so emailed numerous times to the recruiter as well as calls but had no reply to any. This was 2 weeks ago. Quite a poor show of communication on their...

All of this... I attended an online discussion from rmt. Many many grades attended. EVERYONE within that union were invited. The concensus was from those who did was taken. If peoplenarent happy they had a chance to voice but likely disregarded it

I applied at the end of July. Near the original closing date. Haven't heard a thing since.

You'd need twice as many 397s to double them up. So not enough stock for that. Avanti staff being moved to glasgow may not suit those at Edinburgh who perhaps live east lothian/ Fife or further afield who may not be able to commute to Glasgow every day. Therefore the only option is redundancy...

What would happen to the Edinburgh Avanti crew? Redundancy?? TPE do not have a crew depot in Edinburgh it's been Glasgow since start of their Scottish operations. Edinburgh Avanti services can and do get extremely busy so reducing from 9 and 11 car Pendolino every 2 hours plus a 5 car 397 down...

The order at seat fucntion has to run off the train WiFi as that's the only way the app knows what train you are on.

If the card machines are down and the shop is cash only. I'm pretty sure the staff onboard would not have an unlimited amount of change in which to use. If everyone is paying in notes then their change will surely deplete. Where would they be able to get more? From personal experience if a...

Click and collect only works from the WiFi onboard the specific train. If the WiFi won't allow the card machines to work it won't allow orders via the at seat app.

The card machines rely on working WiFi. If that goes down then unfortunately its cash only. Same applies if there's a fault with the card machines.

That would make sense
