    GTR/1878 - Orpington Depot

    Living north of the Thames makes that rather impractical. Even getting a cab over to Dartford would lead in to a 55 minute bus ride, or 50 odd minutes on a train. I don't think you can get over the bridge, and in to Dartford town centre in under 10 minutes!

    Drugs screening, hair or urine?

    It all depends on how much you were smoking. I work in the engineering sector, and get drug tested all the time. I've seen people fail after about 3 months if they were very heavy, daily smokers.

    Failed dfft

    On the topic of the prior posts, if i failed the group bourdon at Greater Anglia's extended pass score, but passed at national, am i eligible to apply to other companies without waiting the six months? I blame working an 8 hour shift finishing at 6am, and heading straight to stratford!
