    Work Experience on the Railway

    I really recently did my work experience with GWR, and loved it. There's of course a limit on what you're able to do because of health and safety etc, but I was able to get really involved in the customer service side of things, spending three days on the platforms helping with assists, and a...

    Seasonal Ticket Examiner GWR

    Congratulations, I was wondering the same thing, I managed to pass the telephone interview too. I believe this is where they assess you on your maths ability etc, and ability to work as part of a team, or at least that's what I've heard.

    GWR Operations Apprenticeship 2016

    GWR Operations Apprenticeship 2016

    Well done and good luck! I notice that you said online tests though. I was only asked to do one, and received no indication as to whether I passed or not. :( Edit: never mind, I've just received an email about a telephone interview
