I agree! Suddenly realising it all. How long do you reckon is reasonable/respectable before looking for this option, perhaps a year or two?
Yes all the way until October! With a SJT in place now instead.
Well I got my OPC invite first, somehow.
Did you do the SJT? What dates did you get ? I got sent dates then they got cancelled then I was sent SJT to completeWell I got my OPC invite first, somehow.
Same here! I did VSE got confirmation soon after that I had passed and to attend OPC on the same date as you, half day though.Booked for the end of this month at Watford. Im as shocked as you are.
I didn't pass the interview last time so I've made a lot of changes to my interview answers so hopefully I get over the line next time.No. Usually around half of initial applicants live outside the 45-minute commute catchment area for a start, despite that being specified in the job advert.
it’s been postponed for me till around October and I’ve been given sjt and a form to fill in, yourself?Same here! I did VSE got confirmation soon after that I had passed and to attend OPC on the same date as you, half day though.
Aylesbury is 41 miles and 48 minutes drive.
I will call Andy in two weeks time to apply again and hopefully I can persuade him to put me forward for Aylesbury. I'm even willing to relocate somewhere closer if I was to be successful.
How do people get to work at Marylebone if there is no parking for the very early shift?You'd be lucky to travel 41 miles in 45 minutes at certain times of the day, and unfortunately promises of relocation in the future are not accepted.

How many spaces ?There is parking at Marylebone
How many spaces ?
For me there is great train service for later shifts. (Elizabeth line)
Worst case I'm thinking to drive 70% of the journey, park near my old house and then cycle in.
Yes I did 8 months ago. ConfirmingNot many and you'd need a permit although drivers at Marylebone seem to manage. Didn't you ask about parking once before?
That's very helpful. I also need a plan B for example coming to work and all the parking spaces taken.You can see on Street View but it's about 10 spots.
HiHi all,
I completed the vse last week Friday and received my invite to stage 1 testing with the opc this morning. I never sat any online sjt. I was shocked because I certainly made a lot of errors on the third part.
Hi the tests were postponed and we were all given a questionnaire as far as I’m aware.Hi
So was it just the paper and pencil tests you did for stage 1?
I just emailed to apply again after 6 months. Waiting for a reply now.
I said last time I applied for London Marylebone but im interested in both London Marylebone and Aylesbury but il let them decide which depot I can apply for.Reapplying for Marylebone I assume?

Do you remember any questions?I didn't pass the interview last time so I've made a lot of changes to my interview answers so hopefully I get over the line next time.
Last time I applied for Marylebone and Andy said to give him a call after 6 months and I could apply again.
From my house to London Marylebone is 16 miles and it's a 33 minutes drive.
Aylesbury is 41 miles and 48 minutes drive.
I will call Andy in two weeks time to apply again and hopefully I can persuade him to put me forward for Aylesbury. I'm even willing to relocate somewhere closer if I was to be successful.
It was a while ago but the questions aren't hard. It's just what you say is important.Do you remember any questions?
