Only the trains, ISS are contracted to do stations. AFAIK cleaners are only based at one station and do not travwl around.

There's a guy with long hair, who seems to have been around since the year dot at Manchester Victoria who gets on to clean them at turnaround - always seems to do a thorough job.

Will expand a bit more on what I said last night. It would depend on which location you've applied for - presentation staff can be employed at a station to prep incoming trains for going back around. Quite a simple job, just means collecting the visible bits of rubbish and emptying the bins. The other side of the job would be if you were based at a station for overnight duties, or at a depot or stabling point. On those you'd do the same as above, but will also clean and hoover the floors, toilets and tables. Might be some polishing of glass and other things - bit more involved.
