    Does anyone in the know, care to hazard a guess as to whether the planned major changes to EMR services from December will still go ahead, given the Covid situation? I'm in the talent pool there and wondering if all hope is lost -_- Thanks

    GW Conductor - additions to basic and rota

    Hi Does anyone know what the likely rota would be for a guard for GWR (based in Westbury)? It's a 35 hour week so I presume Sunday outside? Also the basic after training (would this be after 12 months?) is just over £32k. Does anyone know how much would be added to this for working Sundays and...

    Yeovil commercial guard roster

    I’ve applied for this position and wandered about the roster. I’m in the talent pool for EMR TM which is a 35 hour week. The SW Yeovil position is 42 (although higher pay) I’ve seen a thread about the Fratton guards roster and it sound terrible to be honest -3 weeks of lates, one of earlies...

    Do TM assessments carry over?

    I am currently in a talent pool for TM for EMR As there is no news yet, I have applied at SW for Commercial Guard. I just wandered if the SCAAT TFRS etc that I passed at EMR would be valid at SW for this role? Or would I need to sit them again? And if I do have to resist and failed - would that...

    TM assessment - which bit have 2 lives?

    I have my TM assessment on Wednesday for EMR. I have just received sample test material this morning and it only includes SCAAT and TRFS.

    Assessment practice material from TOC?

    I’ve seen mentioned many times on here, about people receiving assessment practice material from HR. My assessment with EMR was confirmed nearly two weeks for 20th November, but I’ve not received anything to practice with? Is this likely an oversight or SOP? Not sure whether to drop HR an email...

    I have an assessment for TM for EMR on 20th November, but today EMR have posted a new vacancy for Senior Conductor. I would like to apply for this in case I luck out at the TM post, but not sure if this is the done thing? Would it look strange to apply for this when I have my assessment date...

    I made the paper sift for Train Manager at EMR, did the second stage video interview last week. When making the job application it said assessment would be 31st October.
