The question that I am yet to hear a satisfactory response to is this: Why is it that every single time Southern have a staffing crisis, the Caterham/Tattenham Corner branches are the first to be hacked back? On the CAT branch, we automatically lose our semi-fast services, in favour of...

Surely with modern computer systems, it would be acceptable and entirely possible for the sifters to see only "Candidate 2864", and block out name/age/ethnicity/gender/sexuality (Why sexuality matters is beyond me), and just read the pertinent information re qualifications, history and job...

Hi all, Somewhere on the A249 in Kent this evening, this DTS 1938-stock carriage waits upon a low-loader for the road to reopen. Direction of Travel indicates that this is going to be stored somewhere in North Kent. Looking a bit sorry for itself in ex-Coventry condition, with windows removed...

Just noticed.... Did anyone else notice the e-mail was for the Train opeTator - Night Tube, not Night OpeRator - Night Tube?

I also received "Good, but not quite good enough, but we'll be in touch if we lower our standards" At least, that's how I read it! Lol

No e-mail yet. Not that that means much.....

Also with the last recruitment campaign, they kept a LOT of people waiting, then, on the morning of THIS recruitment campaign, binned anyone they hadn't already invited for assessment, so your guess is as good as mine.....

Yes, I did

That'd do for me! I could drop my empty hot-cup at WHS on the way to Caterham, and pick it up full on the way back, and the other half could bring the baby to wave to Daddy at the level crossing...... :D

Essentially,you'll be on the "Southern Metro" network, doing commuter locals, as opposed to the main Southern network doing Fast and Semi-Fast. So Caterham/Tattenham Corner, Vic-London Bridge, Sutton Loop etc

Seems to be working ok this morning. Has anyone else noticed that the Orpington vacancy has about 10 competency questions, but this one only has 2?

I withdrew my application because it not only glitched, but it lost all my competencies, and I had to go to work for a night shift, so didn't have time to re-do them all. I stated why I withdrew as requested. Who do I call to ask if they can re-instate the application? Pretty narked about this......

Well, I just got binned from Woking, at 1712 on a Saturday afternoon.....

Ok, so I have 2 local stations, one (across the road) is 1hr24m, the other (A five-minute walk) 1hr01. A third station is also 1hr01 However, my mum lives a 37min bus ride from Orpington. Do I apply from home, stating my intent to move, or do I apply from mum's?

Interesting. The application of the handbrake for that is supposed to be at 3mph or less, and only on the rear doors..... The students from the college on Clapham Common found this out the hard way one day......

I applied when they first started doing Night Tube. Got as far as having an interview with a depot manager.

My point is that it's just far too convenient that these applications - which they have had for some considerable time now - were found to be not good enough just in time for them to be ready for a whole new raft of applications. If you didn't reach the 90% at the beginning, then you aren't...

Yeah, but it'll be good to have this one for the current crop. Mine's in!

In the respect of if they bin all remaining un-assessed candidates on the same day they re-advertise, then it implies that they're not reading all applications. If a person is unsuitable, then they would be unsuitable from the beginning, right?

Having just been binned from the Overground, I was wondering if anyone else is still waiting to hear from SWR for Woking?
