I would love to work on the railways but there never seems to be any careers in the South-West unless for drivers which im not qualified for.

anyone know where else to look other than GWR website??

South West is a tad vague; in the nicest possible way
GWR and NWR employ all over the West Country; South West Trains in Dorset/Wiltshire/East Devon; XC have bases in Bristol and Plymouth with a variety of roles.
Rail Gourmet also have a presence in the South West (Axminster?); if you're prepared to sell and work for peanuts.
There's plenty out there; keep trying the websites of the companies above and something will turn up. The rail industry at large doesn't advertise as much as say supermarkets or retail shops as the staff turnover is a lot lower
Something'll turn up :)

Been checking on the South West trains job site for awhile and there seems to be a lot of vacancies for Guards at various depots with Commercial Guard vacancies popping up now and again (which seem to be the highest paid for this role in the country?).
Also don't be put off by location of the job! If you're flexible (like me) and can relocate easily I'd apply! I live in Sussex applied for a Train Manager role with Chiltern Railways...in Birmingham...and got invited to an assessment centre! Which took place at 9am BTW! I failed that but subsequently applied for a Train Manager role with Cross Country...in Bournemouth! Again, I was invited to the assessment centre but turned it down. So yeah apply away!
