What about for qualified drivers?

Hey everyone Does anyone happen to know how often vacancies come up for these depots? Is there generally a good feeling around them and the like? Are they highly sought after or not so much? Thanks!

It was multiple choice, but a couple I just mis read the answers. It happens I suppose. I also don't sign absolute block and have never earned competency so it threw me

Yeah but there were somethings that caught me out. Just second guessed myself. Plus 85% pass threshold haha.

Flunked the rules! But hey ho good luck to everyone else.

Absolute legend that's a good handful to get me started. If you can think of anymore!

Ah I see! Are there any other scenarios I should prepare? Just ones that often come up?

Hey everyone, Has anyone ever had a competency interview? If so what are the sort of questions they ask, for qualified drivers. Thanks all!

Yeah got an interview and rules with Euston depot.

Is it possible to set up permanent lates / earlies as a driver, either with another driver doing swaps or whatever?

Fails are rarer, drop out rate by resigning is much higher.

Sorry that's what I meant it seems like there isn't much to the day when you consider the hours on the roster posted above!

Does anyone have a schedule card or can tell me what it's like on a day to day? Like it seems a long day for one trip to Wolverhampton and back for newbies!

Freightliner once put me through a SJT, an online test, both my psychometrics, then offered my an interview... Then I never heard from them again. That was years ago!

Personal experience is that trainees don't strike, but they don't come in either. So it's put down as study from home day - unless it's classroom based, then you still have to come in.

Just a quick one, Paddington HEX do sign to Heathrow Terminal 4 (it's not a regular route, usually just Christmas but it's still expected in terms of route knowledge!)

Does Avanti allow for permanent swaps does anyone know? Also anyone know what a days work looks like or have any older diagrams lying around?

Hey, Does anyone have some good pictures of the semaphore signals on the carriage line of Wembley Intercity Depot, more specifically those leading into carriage marshalling roads 8-15 or there abouts? Anything would be greatly appreciated! If you've got anything in terms of recent enough...

Would anyone happen to know or have a Euston diagram? Just to see what a days work would look like?

FD weeks? Also those night shifts are they just Wembley and back? That sort of thing? Are they 2 weeks of nights which can be 5 or 6 days you mean?
