Hi all, first post here, wonder if anyone can help me with a couple of things, sorry if I ramble!
Im currently applying for a station staff role with southeastern. Been flicking through this site and getting a bit lost at the terminology. Can anyone tell me the difference between a Guard and a Conductor (if there is one)? Also, do station staff go by different titles, and if so, is there a specific division between them such as some people to do just ticket sales, some just do platform duties? Or does everyone just muck in with everything? Appreciate it must vary from operator to operator but just wanted to hear some examples of people already in the job.
My other question is what sort of shifts do station staff do? I quite like the idea of early and late shifts but would be good to hear what sort hours others do.
Always been interested in working on the railways, not sure why i've left it so late to apply until now. I'm currently also a retained firefighter and hoping it might be possible to continue doing this if I got the job and the shift system allows it.
Cheers for any response
