Hi all, just wondering if anyone is able to give me any info about getting to Waterloo from clapham junction at around 0430 - 0500. There is normally a service at 0444 I think, but tomorrow it says rail replacement bus. Can anyone confirm this? And if so where do you get the bus at clapham...

Hi mate, I'm doing good thanks, just started my training this week actually! Unfortunately I'm not a guard though so can't really give you any good advice on your interview.....maybe try one of he other guys on the forum. Sorry I can't really help you! Good luck tho let me know how it goes.

Yeah youre probably right, the info I gave is based on a drivers medical.

Thank you.

Not strenuous at all, if your generally fit and healthy and have a decent eyesight you'll be fine.

Eye test, colour vision test, hearing test, blood pressure, ECG (heart test), BMI check and a drugs/alcohol screening (urine sample). You also fill out a questionnaire beforehand and discuss anything on there that needs discussing.

Staff car?

I've got a few ways of travelling to and from work! You based at Waterloo RJ?

Waterloo will be my depot so the early/late shifts won't be a problem. Thanks for the good wishes, I can't wait to start.

Thanks for that website.

Not sure that I'll get the PRIV ticket, heard only safeguarded employees get that.

Yeah a very fair price, thanks a lot. I will be travelling via streatham hill and balham and the same journey back aswel.

Cheers for the reply, I did see that but thought it looked too cheap and weren't sure if that was because it was one way? That would enable me to return home aswel?

I failed my first one too, tried again after 6 months and am starting next Monday, so don't be too down. Use the feedback they gave you and nail it next time.

Haven't started yet, starting march 5th....been a long quit but nearly there now!

Forgot to mention to do your research on the actual role of a train driver, so what the job actually entails (I'm sure some of the drivers on here wouldn't mind helping you with that). Hey Harold, are you starting on the April course then?

Hi, The manager interview would be the final interview. During the interview you are asked what you know about the company so do your research, questions such as why you want to be a train driver, have you ever worked/how you would cope with the shifts. You will also be asked for examples of a...

The structured interview you have to answer questions (5 if I remember rightly) on a form and then you get grilled on your answers and asked for more detail ( I say grilled as in my structured interview the interviewer came across as really harsh, but I guess that is to get the most out of the...
