I'm pretty sure that you won't need to apply just let HR know that you'd like Cardiff mainline

Earliest start is around 02.43, lates start anywhere between 12.00-18.00 with nights being 20.00-22.00, these are currently the most extreme starts, valley guards shifts are not quite so early or late but same rest day pattern. All this is subject to change with more services planned for the future.

4 day week with Sundays outside the working week till 2025, 3 week rolling rest day pattern, week 1 Mon and Tues off, week 2 Wed and Thur off, week 3 Fri and Sat off, so long weekend off every 3 weeks. Shifts are a mix of earlies, lates and nights with everything inbetween

I believe that it's calculated on driving time, they will probably want to know how you intend to get to and from work should there not be any public transport running for your start/finishing times, this would also include things like Sundays and bank holidays when your only option might be to...

It depends where you work, I start 17 minutes before my first train departs, that time is to book on, use the safe walking route to go to the train station and collect revenue equipment, get to the correct platform and so on.

The end of last year I had applications with ATW and Great Western, I sat the assessments for ATW and passed, 2 weeks later I attended an assessment centre for Great Western. The first question they asked before we started was had anyone previously sat the assessments for train guard, I informed...

Mike996, I've just left the Police after 10 years to start as a conductor 3rd January, I'm really sad to have left the Police as it was an amazing job, but with cutbacks and other constraints, the job is not what it used to be! I loved all our my 10 year service and glad that I had that...

Hi mate, my telephone interview was based all around customer service, what is good, give an example of where you have received good customer service, why you thought it was good, how you feel about custome service and why you strive to give it, they also touched upon the role of a conductor...

Wazza082 I only sat the first stage of the assessments which consisted of the SCAAT and RAAT test along with a ticket checking and selling test. I did pass and was invited to the final interview but I withdrew my application after being offered a conductor role with Arrival Trains Wales which I...

I've got my medical today at 3pm and my contract has just been delivered, still doesn't feel real yet, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me that it's a joke or mistake! Anyone else on here start training in Cardiff in January?

Tell me about it, I'm on cloud 9 but will miss everyone that I currently work with, still can't believe that it's true!

Hey mate, been told that I'll be training in Cardiff

I had a telephone call this morning from Arriva telling me that I've got a conductor's job for Cardiff starting 3rd January. I've got my medical this Friday and have filled in the form for the security check, anyone else heard anything, anyone starting in Cardiff. I want to thank everyone on...

Well, I've just left my interview, I've given it my best shot, just got to wait and see what happens now!

Congratulations, when did you have your interview and how long did it take for them to tell you that you were in the talent pool for Crewe? Really nervous for my conductors interview tomorrow, not slept properly all week, going to give it my best shot and fingers crossed, it will be enough!

Hi Gareth, what position did you go for, driver or conductor? Well done on passing, when did they let you know that you were successful? I believe that the conductor training starts 3rd January, not sure about the driver training

Hi guys, anyone in Cardiff tomorrow for the conductors interview, just wo.during if anyone else off here has gotten through!:D

Has anyone yet heard back from their telephone interview or does anyone know when ATW are due to let people know if their through to the next stage? I know that the telephone interviews were only last Friday, but ATW are starting the next stage this coming Friday, so I'm assuming that they're...

Hi Kim, thanks for the reply, it's nice to know that I've just got to concentrate on the tests and not have to worry about an interview.

Does anyone know if when you attend the assessments for a trainee conductor with GWR, do you just sit the assessments or do you have an interview and so on?
