    Just had trainee conductor interview

    I'm sure you'll be fine with your medical. My bmi was 39 and I was fine. Congrato on the appointment mate, as long as you keep your head down and don't do anything stupid you'll never work another day in your life :)

    Questions for a Conductor

    I'm currently in my 7th week of training, really enjoying it. Been out working with a minder doing doors and announcments and it's good fun, deffinately beats sitting in an office all day. If your the kinda person that enjoys being around people and making things work you'll love it

    Medical - Trainee Conductor.

    My bmi is about 38 and I was fine. Think it's more for drivers that it's a point due to space between the seat and console

    After the Medical

    Did the nurse not say "I'm passing you fit" before you left? Mine did :/ and I knew I hadn't touched any drugs so in my eyes that was a pass

    I was waiting 2 months that from being told I'd passed assessment to actually getting a start date. Sit tight mate and good luck

    What happens if you're not included in a recent training course?

    As far as I'm aware your not sent for medical until they've got you a start date in mind. Or it'd be a waste of money

    Conductor Training

    I was supposed to start in April but because of a prebooked holiday had to wait until may and I've just finished my first week. There's no holiday alowed during training and it lasts around 12 weeks. Hope that helps :)
