    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    While I have had 4 interviews over the last few years my applications are well in to double figures so if we include those knock backs.. it really is frustrating. Spending your days off at other depots etc all for nothing is getting tiresome. Clearly there is something about me that they don't...

    Im internal, I just apply everytime. I think its 6 months from the date of the vacancy being listed rather than after the interview. Ive sat the tests twice as they ran out the first time. Thats how long I have been trying........

    Surprise surprise, unsuccessful for the 3rd time in 12 months and 4th overall. I await the generic feedback and pretty much give up on trying again. I'm assuming they are clearing our the rejections first, so good luck to those waiting.

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    I've had a few interviews and always been asked that. Standard question. The thing is with interviews you just never know. I've had what I thought were good an bad and stI'll been knocked back. Other people have told me how terribly their's has went and still got through. You just never know.

    No, it's harder. As a conductor for 7 years I have had many interviews and I'be still not managed to get past DMI interview yet.

    Edinburgh - Tweedbank Kids Go Free

    As a Scotrail guard I can say no one will bother if you buy the south gyle ticket. As long as you have a ticket.

    No. As long as it is disclosed as per the medical forms request. They may ask you doctor for further information but will not affect your application unless it has affected your ability to work previously.

    Update - one of my colleagues received word today. So I don't think there is a system as such.

    Train hits car near Uphall, West Lothian 14 Oct 2015

    Believe it was youths who left the car in the line. Luckily no major injuries. They should be jailed if caught though. Could have been fatal.

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    You will be waiting a while. Last time I applied (internal) I waited about 6 weeks for a reply. That was with around 1000 applicants. So this time it could be even longer.

    The Bag Tax

    Lol at this thread. Get a few bags for life and your sorted. If you tear them you get them replaced. Therefore you buy say 5 bags for life at say about 50p each is 2.50. For life. Seriously though we were already reusing bags before it came in up here and it's not made a great difference. As...

    My bad experience travelling on FGW from Clifton (26/09): Total and utter debacle.

    It's a no win situation. People have a free will but they tend to follow others rather than make their own decisions. There is no legal limit on the amounts of people who can board a train or when it is "full". As a guard I have come to situations where the train is too full and refused to...
