I have been successful for the trainee program which starts in September, I am coming across from Virgin and was wondering about the pension if it is final salary or not?

Great to see a few people getting in now, had my medical Friday and it went well. Looking forward to September now and getting started.

At Euston for Virgin our basic I around 28k but has Sundays on top of that. As said though the other end of the line are on around 21k and the jobs between stations vary a fair bit.

I recently sat one at London Euston for a platform CSA. Passed which was great after some advice on here but best thing I can say is it isn't as bad as you think. Everyone else is in the same boat so no need to be nervous I'm sure you will fly through

Ok thanks, I will take it as it comes like with the new job just enjoy being part of the company and the work and take my time getting my feet under the table :D
