    Driver training for ice/snow

    Simulation kits are usually handy, although there's no real way of replicating it until you're greeted with it for real. Make sure your hours with your DI isn't during the summer I guess! :lol:

    LO parallel with GTR staff pass routes

    No is the short answer. Although, there is some sort of agreement between TfL and GTR which entitles priv oyster travel. I'd just wait for a Southern if you were travelling up or down that stretch of line.

    Guard with SWT info please.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between a 'guard' and a 'commercial guard' on SWR? I have often wondered this, never got around to asking. Ty

    Southern Rail Trainee Driver application

    Think there's already a thread on this. How long is a piece of string? I see some people have already received the dreaded email. It can take weeks, maybe months to sift through the thousands of applications that they've undoubtedly received. Good luck.

    Anyone in the know about Charing Cross link structure and what is signed by which links? Thanks in advance.

    Advice needed about trainee driver job (DMI unsucsessful)

    A mix of my interview answers not being relevant to the role, but predominantly not using the STAR method which is essential. Felt like I kept waffling about things that weren’t necessarily linked to the question nor the job. But the method of your answers is vital IMO.

    Advice needed about trainee driver job (DMI unsucsessful)

    Get feedback from WM, find out where you went wrong, then move forward, keep moving forward and never look back. I failed twice at the DMI stage and I was gutted, third time lucky for me. I found that how2become interview tech books helped me, perhaps consider that. Good luck.

    Multi-Modal interview.

    Shunt driver to driver

    You may benefit with a slight head-start on a course as, if and when you go onto the mainline, especially if the TOC operates with the same tractions as the one you were shunting with.

    Arriva Rail - London Overground - Trainee Positions

    Yep, one here. I passed all the GTR modules bar the MMI. So not sure what I have to sit. Anyone else in a similar position?

    Southeastern interview

    Also can’t speak for southeastern, but I had an interview for the same role with another TOC. Was invited to occupational health at a later date. good Luck.

    SWR Trainee Drivers at Staines, Woking and Waterloo

    Any idea what the bottom link Waterloo drivers get up to? Cheers.

    Can anyone work out why assessments are done this way?

    Perhaps they don't want a train driver who can't concentrate for longer than 10 minutes and/or can't remember detail. You'll probably find that each module the train drivers assessment has, links to the role in some way or another.

    Platform Assistant Interview - Southern Railway

    Yep, normally a line manager and a team leader conducting the interview. From memory, this was a very quick interview (30 mins) and was a mixture of customer service and lifestyle questions (just to paint a picture of yourself). Compared to other interviews I’ve had, this was probably the most...

    Clapham Junction Platforms - anyone want to work at Britain's Busiest Railway Station?

    Seems like a relief role for metro stations such as Battersea and Balham. I guess you’d be based at CLJ, though.

    I guess so mate, you can’t work at both!

    GTR Trainee Drivers Hornsey/ Cricklewood

    You’ll need to specify to HR. You can’t have 2 assessments (if you fail one then it rules you out for 6 months anyway)
