…it’s been released in an FOI, ergo is freely and publicly accessible.
You realise that TfL themselves have published this on their own website as part of a FOI request? This is not secret insider knowledge from a covert whistleblower. It's publicly accessible at the link I provided and will provide again unmasked.
Hello I failed the role play when I applied in 2022. I couldn't apply 2023 as said o job description. Is there going to be another recruitment this year??
If you failed you can’t apply for 3 years
When I was doing the written test. There was a man there from the previous recruitment. Which wasn't 3 years before. Are you sure about this. As when I applied it didn't say that if you applied for the ref: xxx you.cant apply but it did say on the 2023 recruitment
You cannot apply for 1 year if you had failed.
Excuse my ignorance what you mean by that, meanwhile about the assessments I'm fresh meat in the UK (1y) so I didn't have the total knowledge of what i was expecting, I was restrictively thinking for me and not the company itself, plus living at the edge for North L I don't think it would be good for me due the commute lets see in 6m
Why not use another email to apply?
I'm not sure, but I heard you can reapply in about 6 months.
I would absolutely not do this. TfL aren’t stupid, and it demonstrates a lack of trustworthiness. A surefire way to rejection, and honestly not great qualities for a prospective employee. Doing something like this internally could easily end up as a gross misconduct charge.
Thank you for the info. Just to clarify, does cover week mean it will be in other stations and do we get the rota for those weeks in advance as well? Also, for the early and late shifts, do we get transport facility if we live far. I have heard from others about these transport facility but I am not sure.
Hi, when did you get confirmation for your training date? Was it after all referencing checks??
Yes, theoretically the cover weeks can cover stations on the whole group - for example, if I remember correctly, Earls Court is it's own area, but part of a cover group down to Southfields, so you could be required to work at any of those stations. In reality, I don't suppose it happens that much, but I haven't worked on stations for a long time. The Stations Framework agreement demands 28 days notice for cover weeks. A copy of the Stations Framework can be found in a TfL FOI here. It's worth a read.
For dead early and dead late shifts there is a staff taxi facility. They run at fixed times, must be booked in advance, they pick up and set down at fixed points (usually stations), and are often shared with other staff. It may take more than 1 staff taxi to get you to your destination.
Thank you so much for the information. Really appreciate it.
Appreciate all the detailed information you have provided @bluegoblin7 , do majority of new starters join the union during the training week, do you advise new starters to join the union or wait for the 6 months probation to end and then join?
Ah, that is amazing thank you!
I agree, I would say Day 1. Joining a union should always a personal choice, however, what I say to people is... You don't have to go looking for trouble on the Underground, trouble can find you.
Same happened to me, I called them and they sent me a new link.
Thank you, will do the same then
Please check the link between 11:05 and 12 noon everyday for new links. I called them when I tried booking mine and that was the advice I got and booked the next day.
hello, I have my written communication and data interpretation test coming soon. Could you please give me some tips? thank u
The questions you will be asked are common sense questions, they are not difficult at all.
