Depends on the company and position as Bosch91 said, and has been in my experience. Worked for one company in production (exams mainly) and did an even split of days and nights. Currently on an overhaul project which is earlies and lates.

Ashby de la Zouch

Fair point, my vagueness hasn't really helped. I'd be buying a yearly season ticket Elstree and Borehamwood - Kentish Town but would be getting off at West Hampatead Thameslink more often. Background to my question. I get 75% off season tickets through work. Both tickets (Elstree and...

Looking for anyone with personal experience of the gate line of Thameslink. Looking to buy a season ticket but regularly get off a stop early. Will I always have to get a member of staff to let me through everytime will the gates open. The season ticket will be on one of their smartcards if...

If you've been in contact with Onboarding everything should be fine. I've found the training very good, and the people great aswell (train maintainer though)

Hi JemSimms I was in the same situation as you before I started. When I handed in my notice I mentioned that if the start date was changed due to covid ect I'd be looking to withdraw my notice, surprisingly went down alright. Luckily that never happened and started on time

I worked there for around 18 months. You get a permit for parking on site, never failed to get a space. Couldnt comment on public transport as I never used it to get in or out. The canteen has vending machines, an oven and a couple of microwaves, no catered food as such. The offices were tidy...

Waiting for a start as a train maintainer here

I had wondered if they would increase the time beyond 12 months. Looking at the media things are going to be slow till march time which would bring many of us over the year point.

Hi judders I had an email about a month ago asking me to to confirm my details and checking I was still avaliable for the role. I spoke to recruitment earlier this week and got much the same, they will update as soon as they have medical appointments avaliable

I spoke to them the other day and basically got told the same. Things had been put on pause and they will be in contact when they're in a position to move forward. Hopefully things get back to normal soon enough, and they still need new maintainers after. This thread could be worth following...

Nothing yet, likewise I think training is going to slowed/ shut down. I'm holding off calling recruitment to late next month, which was my original plan before the pandemic started. My notice period goes up by a factor of 6 in May so was looking at handing it in early if I was high up on the...

That's a fun one to explain away :| hopefully means a start date won't be far off for you. You had any word about a medical yet? I know it could be 6 months (even 12) for a start date, would just be nice to know how far along the process I was. This is all just impatientence from me though...

Hi guys, in a similar position to a few of you, lucky enough to pass the assesment day and be put on a waiting list. Filled in the reference checking files and the DBS about 3 weeks ago, was just wondering if anyone got confirmation to say all had been recieved ok?
