Anyone had their medical this week. Mine took about 30 mins, nice and easy.

I know my pee test will come back as clean as a whistle, but the nerves are there still.

You can apply to "Internal Only" vacancies using the group internal group careers portal, but ultimately you're treated the same as any other driver applying. I have heard vague rumours that actually moving between FG TOCs as a driver is harder as they used to have a "no poach" agreement within the Group

I've moved FG TOC to a neighbouring FG TOC as a driver recently, it was incredibly quick and straightforward and I transferred continuous service between the two.

@New2rail1 Hi i had mine yesterday. the woman said it would be quite a quick turn around etc, have you heard anymore about anything yet, or do you think they will just wait until all medicals are done before sending stuff about the role out

Yeah she said she had around 8 a day to do. I think we just find out as and when they process the results!

Hi all, how many weekends do rail staff work, do they work all weekends or do you have some weekends off

There are different patterns depending on company but everywhere I've worked it's been 2 weekends in 3 worked followed by 1 off.
You're also be pretty much guaranteed the Sunday off on the weekends where you are late Saturday, early Monday too
