[RandomGuy]

Hey guys, just wondering what most of your preference is, if you were offered a Trainee mainline position and LU Train Op position, which would you go for and why?

 

[Dscs]

Is this only open to women or are they just expressing that would like more female candidates?

 

[Dscs]

Sorry I meant to say I'm talking about the new campaign for 5th March

 

[Aspirin80]

Spread the word, the recruitment campaign opens on the 5 March.

This says open day not vacancy coming up or am I reading something wrong ?

I doubt we will need to spread the word too far Aspirin. According to Tfl, last year's campaign brought in over 15,000 applicants. I would love to know how many made it through.

Is it 15hrs or 16hrs a week?

 

[Jambo86]

16 hours a week and it's £24214 at the moment but there's a payrise coming in March. The amount it goes up will be the February RPI percentage plus 0.25%. The February percentage will be released on the 20th of March.

Ahoyyyyy.. Lol.. .is this only an open day event or the actual start of a new campaign? I hope we are not banned from this one as they tend to bar people who have applied to previous campaigns for the same job within 6 months or 3 or so campaigns

Ahoy shipmate. I spoke to HR yesterday Tron and, whilst they could not confirm the start date of the recruiting campaign, they did say that it would be soon and they anticipated it would run for three weeks. When I took up the other matter with them by email last year that we have already discussed, they told me that there would be a campaign in early 2018 and that failing in 2017 would not be a bar to trying again in 2018. Or, in their own words, "TfL run approximately one high volume Train Operator recruitment campaign annually and you would of course be welcome to apply for future campaigns if you meet the required criteria." So, all looking good do far.

Cool.. so we shall all make a second pass at this assessment....ramming speed... lol

Ramming speed it is Captain. We shall defend our ship, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight them in Ashfield House, we shall fight in the depots, we shall fight in the tunnels and on the platforms, we shall fight on the escalators; we shall never surrender.

[TheGreatISA]

Can anyone who's on training confirm what the salary is whilst doing the 3 months training? Is it somewhere around 30k or is it 75% of full time salary so around 39k?

Thanks. I've got my medical next week. How long did it take for it to clear and get training dates?

I was able to book training date at same time as I booked my medical in december but I had been waiting since beginning of august for a start date.

I believe off the top of my head it’s about 32500.

You’ll clear about £1700-1750 after tax for each pay which is 4 weekly.

Any training after week 12 is paid retrospectively at full time drivers salary, backdated to week 12 when you pass out.

I.e. you’ll continue to get the normal training wage in your bank account each pay, then after you pass out you’ll get the difference backdated in a lump sum.

Don’t count on going past week 12 though, unless you’re on the pic, then it’s likely but not a guarantee.

 

[Jellytots898]

Out of interest anyone who has started their training get their chosen nomination depot? I was thinking of putting Wembley park

You won’t get to choose your depot at first. One will be allocated to you according to business needs, although they do try and get you as close to home as possible.
Then you’ll be able to swap between the class or putting in a transfer nomination.

Thank you!

To those who started the course recently how are you finding it?

 

[Lem]

Does anyone know if you pass and are offered a position, do you have to start when they offer you a course or can this be deferred?
