One member of this forum did work experience with a nearby EWS depot.Would be better to try for a TOC as frteight would require depot work etc whichcould be an issue with HSE and PTS.

How did you contact SWT? Via E-Mail I didn't get a response so I telephoned them and they got back to me via e-mail the following day.Ive tried every TOC in london!
I was in exactly the same position with mine, minus the fact I had abosultely no contacts. You should count yourself lucky that you do have contacts who could get you somewhere, even if it is at depots. I don't see why you are complaining when you have turned down two railway offers! Maybe you should consider the fact that the buisnesses involved might not want a young person to deal with on top of their evceryday work.'Tis rather annoying considering the fact that I know no-one who can get me it on the railways, excluding depot work, which I do not want - (Have turned down Bounds Green and Oakwood)...

First Great Western rejected me this morning.
Southern have contacted me requestion more information, which was given, now they're like every other toc:
No reply!
Seth enjoyed his time at Northfields LUL depot and as a result is now working with LU on their apprenticeship scheme.Indeed.
I am 100% on my own applying for work experience, no help from school as I am going out of borough.
Its bad enough being repeatedly rejected, and then I get 2 people comeing on msn saying "so and so is getting me work experience on the railways!!" (not you, DS).

DescendingSadly, what part of Network Rail did you work on?

Atm Im working with EWS as they said that I might be able to go to Wembley! As I knew a driver he contacted EWS himself and asked for me ^^.
On a side note, I'm doing work experience myself in late June with South West Trains who approved me a few weeks ago.

Jamster and Coxster - I didn't really "turn down" either of them. They were offered on a list of placements through Enfield Council. I just didn't apply to them.
