Where are the Southern Depots?
Thank youSouthern - Victoria; London Bridge; Norwood; Selhurst; Caterham; Epsom; Redhill; Horsham; Brighton; Eastbourne; Barnham.
Eastbourne don't take on trainees as far as I know
TL Horsham had only three trainees who transferred from Three Bridges when it opened in may 18 all now passed out. 43 based there
Southern Horsham rarely takes on trainees as you say most transfer from metro depots
Think Caterham is bigger these days and Redhill is taking a trainee as referenced elsewhere
I'm looking at this as well. Which are the GTR 'Metro' depots?
Victoria, London Bridge, Selhurst, Norwood, Epsom, Caterham and London Bridge.
Thanks! Wasn't sure if they were the same as the Southern ones. Does it not include anything north of the river? Or am I asking a stupid question because it's for their 'Southern' region?
North of the river would be Great Northern or Thameslink. Operationally Southern and Gatwick Express are run separately so this is just for their Southern brand.
Does anyone know will the fact I’m in a talent pool for one of the other GTR franchises have any bearing on an application for southern.
28k for first 12-18 months training and 53k afterI thought southern were on 57k
Or is the 52 the starting qualified salary
Hi. Obviously those are not the same questions. What I meant, two questions mentioned above are repeated in questionnaireTo me those are not the same question..!?
Hi. I am currently in process of filling online application. There is couple of topics which are repeated in questionnaire. Does anyone know why? Should answers be copied and pasted? Those questions are repeated:
1) Now that you've read more about the job, please tell us why you're applying for it and what knowledge or skills you have that might be relevant.
2) Please tell us about anything you get up to outside work that gives us a better idea of what you're like as a person and why you might be right for Southern. Please give the name of the activity and what it says about you.
They ask two of above questions twice i questionnaire and I would like to know if there is any trick behind it?
Regards
Robert
I’ve had to do the same. Absolutely no way you can answer differentlyYes I noticed this - this could just be sloppiness in the application form or they use those parts of the form for different reasons.
I decided there was no way I answer the identical questions differently without waffling, so I cut and pasted them. Whether it will be to my detriment I don't know, but I'm sure I will find out!
Good evening. I know the closing date is imminent. Has anyone any experience or knowledge into how long responses start to come back ?
Many thanksIt took 4 months the last time they recruited (almost exactly 2 years ago) but hopefully they will be as bit quicker this time!
