Cheers. I'm only going if it's for Euston. Can't move at the moment.

Just got an email from them. Say I applied for Preston Depot though! Cup of tea with next week!

I'm Ilford depot.

No mainline progression at GA. Would have to apply for the trainee place when advertising.

Hi. There is no mainline progression from Depot driver to Mainline. You will have to apply for trainee position like everyone one else and is not guaranteed like before in the past. Sunday out side the working week. Worth about £3,000 more if you do more. Loads of overtime at the moment...

Nothing as well.

16 wow. Should look at my rule book more. Was 15 reasons 8 years ago. You don't really have to know them all. Just a few when passed out. Most drivers have one reason. Signaller tells you to pass it at danger. I get instructions from them what to do, repeat back and go. Still scary today...

5 weeks ago for me to. Will wait and see.

Terms are a joke what they trying to offer us.

Yeah, which none of them will be delivered on time with Crossrail behind schedule. Plus coming public about abellio now, £80 million bail out by the ducth taxes payers.

I know. It say under Action (blank) Just says date submitted.

No word from them. Would be nice to say they received your application at least.

Unfortunately they do. Anything you report to the signaller and their report to your Control. It's goes on record and recored. You be Exonerated of course but still remains. I would advise any drive to get a copy of your records from your file. Section 9 normally (operating incident) I always...

Your lucky. I've applied twice and didn't even get a response from them. So not holding my breath this time round.

Fatality out of your control. That's still goes down as a safe of line incident. As it's deemed as a collision. Recorded on slims for ever more. VT can do one then if they want a 100% clean record. No driver has a 100% clean. Yes might be Exonerated from incidents but still held on record.

What about CAT B SPaR or TPWS on Greens due to signal failure a or equipment failure. You can't be knocked back if Exonerated?

Always phone and ask for feed back as it can improve your chances in the future, say about the conversation you had, especially if you got the person name. However sorry about the knock back, keep head up and try again.
