Much obliged

Thank you

No email for me
But did get a letter saying I'd been successful and they are currently allocating spaces on courses , and that if I'm not placed on one of those it will be talent pool

In actuality that's the best thing to happen on a personal level due to imminent house move and need to maintain current wage for mortgage purposes etc
Hard not to be disappointed though with others receiving dates but telling myself to be excited!
Congrats to those of you above with a start date
Hopefully see you sometime in the future

Does anyone have any clue what this information really means:

'Taxi agreement all depots booking on or off between 2359 and 0500 to and from work and home or home station whatever is closer' on the below link:

http://www.aslef.org.uk/information/102222/102225/102373/thameslink_great_northern/

Any info will be much appreciated :)

Also, does anyone have any example train drivers rosters from Blackfriars depot? Congratulations to all of you who got through!

Any jobs starting around 5 or finishing after midnight will entitle you to a cab to/from work.
Blackfriars is one link and to be quite honest the rosters have gone down the pan, lots of 9h+ jobs, spare cut from max days to 8h45 so enforced overtime.
Max day is 9h54 and most of it consists of sutton loops.
Earliest finish is now around 1330 from a 5 ish start.

I called them onMonday and was told everything was OK and the contract would be in the post. Just wondering how long before it comes through the letterbox.

I also contacted them on Monday and was told the contract had been sent out first class but have not received it yet. Should have been with me by now... Well, patience is a virtue ;)

Same here, still awaiting the contract. Phoned HR today and was told she would check it. Getting really impatient now as need to give in notice soon.

Still waiting for mine, didn't think they'd be advertising again so soon. Wonder how many chose talent pool.
