Hello all. Can anyone advise of football stadiums near any of the mainline, looking to get out and around to different grounds. Mainline between Devon and PAD and any accessible branch lines. Any suggestions accessible from bristol temple meads really. Thanks

I start with GWR in Jan, and have been told it will be 6 months training and if competent after 6 months of training then you will progress to your advertised wage. For me I am having to take a fairly big pay cut, but if money is your driver, it will be worth it after training, bigger picture...

I thought about declaring it, but thought I'd keep that one to myself!

Having worked for frontline for the police for 11 years and a football ref for the past 4 years, that's one thing I do have is thick skin!
