    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    This is pretty much spot on. We’ve been asking for weeks when the new diagrams will be available . I opted to work yesterday but only received the diagrams for the new timetable on Thursday. Also, last year, via ballot, it was agreed that from January ‘18 , drivers would compulsory work a...

    MMI GTR Help PLZ

    Ah, of course.....Drivers Manager interview = DMI , not "Driver's Manager" interview. I did read it right in the first place. So, they have changed the process after all. Interesting :-)

    MMI GTR Help PLZ

    Really ? . I start a drivers course on Monday and I certainly didn't do it that way last year. MMI was part of Day 2 assessments, then DMI was a week or 2 later. Must be a new thing :-) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sorry, just saw it was for 'Driver manager' position. Didn't...

    Thanks for the 'congrats' :-) Hi Scattle. Yeah, I remember us discussing about both wanting KX. While I'm thrilled and relieved to be starting a course, I'm still well aware that there are guys who are still patiently waiting and some who actually had a start date for KX, only to have that...

    I had a phone call on the 15th of Feb offering me a position on the course starting on March 21st for KX too. I didn't post anything on here at the time as I was yet to take my medical, and at 48 , never having an ecg before I didn't want to tempt fate. My medical was last Friday at head office...

    Hi Paul, I'm 49 in May and will be starting as a trainee driver in a few weeks time, so no, I don't believe you're too old. Best of luck.

    Eyesight

    Yeah, I think you're probably right. -8 is a pretty thick lens too, which I'm sure would be noticed by a keen eye ??????

    Eyesight

    Hi, I'll agree it's a little ambiguous in its wording. You're right it does says max prescription is -8 , however I can only relay my experience last week and at no time were my glasses examined for strength, nor was I asked my prescription. My eyes were tested by looking into what I can only...

    Eyesight

    Hi, I had a medical on Friday under the new 2007/59/EU directive that has been implemented from 01/01/16. The minimum aided / unaided standards that you specified in your post no longer apply. Instead you will be tested to a 20/20 standard unaided . If you pass, great. If not you will then be...

    Not really, but she did say that it was sent on her managers request, which I take as a good sign.

    Ok, have just spoken to Doreen, who was very patient with my questions and was happy to put my mind at rest. All they require is that you fill the registration page and submit it. Don't complete the whole application again. I indicated that I felt uneasy that my place in the process might be...

    I've had the today email too. More concerning is the link takes you to a completely new job application for Trainee Train Driver that expires on the 29th of JAN ? . This is really confusing. Think it's time to try to get an answer or 2.

    That's interesting. I think I took my stage 2 the same day as you Rob and I am yet to have my medical as well. Looks like I'll be on the phone to GTR next week too.

    I was only having a bit of fun. I did think you were a touch harsh though. I know what it's like when it seems like others are getting information that you haven't yet been party to. I must admit though, if I read another......"it's Friday" post, I think I'll scream ??????

    While I understand the posts encouraging those in the talent pool ( which includes myself ) to 'be patient and not to be concerned at the lack of forthcoming information regarding course dates' , I can't help but be just a little concerned that, in response to the above post, 24 new starters...
