Anyone have any info on this job. Is the nights 4 on 4 off, Is it every weekend or every other or 3rd weekend, 10pm to 6am, 8pm to 6am, 6pm to 6pm. Reason I ask is if you enquire to HR they just say you will find out if you get a interview. But that is the whole reason I ask. Has if it was every...

All I can think of is its a Onboard Cleaning job based from Warrington

Just seen this job advertised, 2 positions available on days. with Northern by Arriva I live in Warrington and just asking if anybody has any info on these positions. I didn't know they had a depot at Warrington that does Train Cleaning. Just thought they had Warrington Central Station. Will the...

I rarely mention work on Social Media has when I'm not there I like to forget about it. I'm talking more, football/sport/gambling/booze/political/life rant statuses, some un pc, controversial etc but my point is my free time is exactly that

I can totally understand that if you get 100 applicants then there has to be a whittling down process but has Dave just said, if someone has already done the job via a agency, had plenty of experience relevant to the job, passed courses like PTS then surely you have shown you already have the...

Ha ha Unbelievable Falcon. Think were on the same page in how we think. Trust me If I was at a interview and was asked any of these things you have said my reaction would probably make them wish they hadn't. I'm of the thought that no matter how much I want a job if I have to be subservient and...

I did my 2 Month stint in Leeds, done some Health & Safety Courses and a COSHH Course has I know they are keen on that. This was the first time I had been asked to do a Numercy and Literacy test. It wasn't the actual questions I struggled with, It was the speed in which I had to do them I...

Red2005, fair enough mate, has I have already said I maybe went a bit far in the beginning and have definetly give people the wrong impression of me in some ways on here. Yes I am old school and say whats on my mind, good or bad but I am also a hard worker and am good at what job I may be doing...

Cheers Fred, Thanks for your king words . Keep plugging on. 2 Days later and I've calmed down now.

PC Meaning Political Correctness. It seems to be a Modern Thing. Probably why Old School people like me struggle with the modern trends

A lot of what you say is true. All this Politically Correct nonsense continues to baffle me and it is why my ambition lies no further than getting my Mortgage paid off and enough Pension to get by. I would like to retire at age 60 and get out of the working environment asap as the modern world...

Hi Louby. I'm 48, though a very young and fit 48 through hours at the gym lol but you are right in what you say. I have not found the transistion to all things technical easy. Example being I am more comftable using a pen and paper as opposed to using a computer and definetly find all the...

Until you know me Dave Id suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself has it wouldn't end well if you spoke to me like that in person but people like you probably wouldn't in person. Again I asked you if you know me ? And if you don't, then don't make assumptions of me. To all others who have...

@Dave333, Yes I did work at Leeds via Northern Recruitment Group. Do you know me ? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- @Dave, And what a waste of time me working at Leeds proved to be. I travelled there 1.5 hours per night to get the experience on my CV and to help me to the top of...

Scott118, You are exactly tight. Everything was better 20 years ago. I was born 20 years to early in 1968, wish I was born in 1948. The modern world continues to baffle me and their daft PC ways :D

Totally understand that and when you apply to progress from the cleaning roles that's when it becomes relevant to pass tests and give examples of customer services etc etc. Some people might be happy doing static shifts train cleaning rather than the differeing hours of conductors and drivers ...

Andy mc, I agree with everything you say. I got on BR has my Grandad was high up and connected, It was a absolute doddle getting on. I was a carer for my Gran for years and when she passed away I pinned my hopes on getting back on the railway and because of how easy I got on before and had...

I shall be coming off this forum has the Railway isn't the Railway I used to remember back in the BR Days. Now the dust has settled I think I am quite happy being a 9 to 5er Monday to Friday, and going bed at night and having the weekends to myself. Just applied for a Train Presentation...

Does anyone know if the Train Presentation Operative (Cleaner) Position at Newton Heath with Northern Rail ispermanent nights or round the clock shift work ?

Id have to choose my words carefully Martin as it might come across as a bit cheeky if I say I never researched the Customer based questions as I didn't think they would ask as I was just going for a Cleaning role. I made a big mistake not researching the Company though and I hold my hands up...
