Most of them are based at Mendip

Next one starts 2nd September.

I don't know yet, I haven't had the info etc yet.

Thanks for that. I have received an email with a uniform order form attached to it, but that's it. I had a letter with a conditional job offer, subject to a DBS check (which is fine) and satisfactory references (again should be fine) and a clear medical which I think went OK on the day, but...

Anyone know if it is normal to get feedback from your medical? I had my medical last Wednesday and have heard nothing since. Just wondered if they confirm everything is OK etc.

Thank you for the replies. I'm more concerned about the availability of parking spaces rather than speed of service into London. I'm going to try Datchet I think. That's within easy reach of the M4 (I'll be coming from Bristol) & has a frequent service into Waterloo with a reasonably priced...

Good Evening. I have an appointment on Monday afternoon in Central London. I am an infrequent visitor to London, so am after a bit of advice. I am unable to book any advance ticket to London due to the nature of the appointment, not knowing the duration etc, so I will be driving down the M4...

I'm still waiting to find out if I have passed my DMI or not. I had this, along with my MMI and computer assessments in mid April. I have passed my assessments and MMI but I have heard nothing from Freightliner regarding my DMI.

I had my assessments in mid April along with my DMI interview. I've received an email from the OPC to say I had passed all the assessments and MMI etc and that my application was now with Freightliner. Not heard anything from Freightliner regarding my DMI etc though.

Does anyone have any details on the apparent disruption around the Weston Super Mare area, causing both XC and GWR services to be delayed in excess of 3hrs; http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C11174/2019/03/19/advanced http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C58959/2019/03/19/advanced...

Yes, was just about to post something similar. This one is at BPW as I type; http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/V20152/2018/09/15/advanced So there appears to be some access to/from Stoke Gifford depot during the blockade.

There is very little being removed from the usual timetable. The GWR units from BPW or Gloucester are starting at Filton Abbey Wood instead. XC are still running, diverting around BPW via Chepstow. Aside from a few extra commuter services, and some NW XC services, that's all I can think will...

My local station, Lawrence Hill, will be busier than normal then. Still see the usual XC services, CDF - TAU/Pompey units, Severn Beach line services, along with the BPW - WSM services (starting at Filton). Not much loss in the usual traffic volumes currently. Add into that the diverted South...

There is a GWR HST that leaves Plymouth at 19:43, arriving into Bristol Temple Meads at 21:47. This service would provide a connection onto the 22:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Birmingham New Street service.

There are a bunch of freight only lines in and around the Bristol area but very few of them see little or no traffic at all. The Parson Street to Portbury line is a relatively new freight only line but the only current booked traffic is a sporadic weekly car train. Avonmouth to Filton/Bristol...

Not a core route so will be signed at a later date after passout

Westbury Drivers sign: Westbury - Weymouth Westbury - Swindon ( Non Core ) Westbury - Bristol Temple Meads Bristol Temple Meads - Bristol Parkway Bristol Parkway/Filton Abbey Wood - Cardiff Central ( Non Core ) Bristol Temple Meads - Taunton ( via WSM ) Westbury - Southampton Central (...

After going through the course myself and seeing plans both in the training school and talk in the DM's office, pretty confident that 80% of the guards that successfully pass all stages of the application process will find themselves on a course within the next 24 months.
