Rostered but if you don't have kids and end up with a school holiday its easy enough to change, if its the other way you're buggeredIs your a/l leave rostered or can you choose what you like (staff levels depending??
I guess because I passed all the nationally mandated tests. The only one I failed is non mandatory and the guy at the opc said it would just bar me from the few tocs that use it but others would be ok. So I called today to check if gtr would accept that and the lady I spoke to said yes.Teddyward how come your able to apply only a month after doing tests with Arriva? Aren't you meant to wait 6 months?
Its not a nono but parking at Victoria is very limited, not sure about London Bridge so you would need to be prepared to pay for parkingAre there any depots where driving in is an absolute no no?

That’s the 2 hand test. The vse came after that one.Which one is the vse? I went to Arriva too, passed all of stage 1, but at stage 2 I passed trp1 I think it is national standard but not enhanced but the one where you have to keep the ball within the lines I failed due to speed ( sorry I don't know the name of it)
Yep every 3rd week you get Fri, Sat, Sun,Mon and Tues off, total of 32 days off holiday of which 4 weeks are rostered and the others are bank hols and ad hoc holidays. The bank holiday thing is a bit confusing. If the bank holiday falls on your RD then you get that back as an ad hoc day easy peasy however your base roster can have you rostered to work on a bank holiday and then a couple of days prior to it they can decide that you're not needed in which case its used as a holiday, if you do work then that goes back into the pot as another ad hoc day. In general you will get about 12 ad hoc days off give or take a couple depending in how the bank holidays fall. I'm not sure about drivers but OBS have a base roster that gives you your pattern of work days and days off and expected diagrams with start and finish times then you get a weekly roster on which your diagram and start/finish time may have changed and then finally you get your daily alterations roster upto 24 hours before the shift and your start/finish time may have changed again. They can change your start time by upto 3 hours either side (might be 2 as a driver so basically if your start time is 9am then you need to be prepared to start/finish either side of that. Its a pain but I found that if the base roster had me working 48 hours a week by the time the DA sheet was up I was down to 41Yea I have kids, although that doesn’t bother me too much about school holiday. Is it all rostered or part of it??
If i read correctly, you get 5 rd in a row every 3 weeks?? That correct? Is it the same basic shift pattern and rds??
Is the 2 hand test standard for all tocs do you know teddyward?That’s the 2 hand test. The vse came after that one.
