Southeastern recruiting trainee drivers again

[PringlePopper1]

Thanks for clarifying. How was the VSE in regards to difficulty?

I found it okay, but some of the others really struggled with it, the dots I didn’t have too much of a problem with. The test where you’re searching a fake phone directory thing was the hardest as you do that while listening to the tones on the tape

Thank you for your patience and interest in joining Southeastern.

Has anyone else recieved the same email? And does anyone know what is the next stage?

 

[Gorlash1886]

Yea I recieved that as well

 

[Hammerk]

Yes, for Ashford. I've also been told, there will be no positions in Kent until next year ☹

 

[bionic]

They need to wait until they've sorted out the situation with existing Orpington drivers and all the moves that need to done with them first.

 

[Azzypaul]

Yes got the same email for slade green

 

[Ray90]

Yes I also got the same email.

That’s a long wait, have you thought about maybe giving them a call?

What depot(s) did you apply for?

Sorry for the duplicate post, what depots did you apply for Azzypaul?

 

[Azzypaul]

Hi jammy I applied for slade green and a friend of mine dartford .

 

[Jimmy Jams!]

I applied for Slade Green also my friend

 

[Azzypaul]

Just a waiting game I have two mates that are drivers at slade . They haven’t heard anything

 

[Aqua97]

Slade Green has a few trainees going through at the moment but the depot is pretty much full.
Dartford on the other hand has about 7 or 8 leaving by the end of the year, with trainees already coming through to take their place.
As bionic said they'll re-home the Orpington drivers first (December), it looks to be a bit of a wait for trainees off the street at the moment.

As previously mentioned here, the drivers are unhappy in metroland with many of them putting in for moves to coastal depots...
Charing Cross is having a mass exodus at the moment, I've heard about 15 are leaving up there. (but again any orpy surplus can fill those spaces :-\ )

I'm not sure if they take high speed drivers off the street though? Maybe an avenue of exploration?

Hi everyone, does anyone know what the payday is for October? As I understand it's a 4 weekly cycle so any help is much appreciated thanks.

It is.

 

[Zuko]

Hi all, my current employer made a mistake on the p46 form : employee without a p45 form.
In section 2 they are supposed to fill in details of my current employment and payroll references etc, the part where they put their name and address in they have put my name address! I didn't notice at the time because I was chatting away taking about pension and other matters.

I've found a p46.pdf file online and printed it off but noticed the wording and some of the hyperlinks are different, but essentially it's all still the same and still requiring the same information from me.

My question is can I use this or should I see what SE HR say or go back to my current employer and see if they have a similar copy? All help is much appreciated thanks.

anyone here based at Victoria (E) with southeastern? any vacancies in the main roster at the moment? what kind of work do you do there? i've heard they've got an interesting mix of work. Thinking of moving across from another depot.

 

[Rightontyne19]

I know this is the jobs forum, but still trying to find books which give an honest account of railway life. Anyone looking for a Drivers job read any of these? Don't mean to hijack thread - posted in the books section too. Please ignore this if it holds up thread.

I believe Vic has just filled up their roster with a number of soon to start / new starters.

 

[JammyJames08]

14 vacancies at the moment across 3 links. Big recruitment at Vic next year I’ve heard.

 

[ComUtoR]

Yep but god knows where all the work is coming from. Around 20 new Trainees starting rules in the new year I have heard.

 

[bionic]

The revolving door just keeps on spinning!

High speed drivers off the street? Is that safe?
