You get free rail travel mate don't worry about driving anywhere
Trust me, you won't be at Hitchin mate. You will probably be classed as GN Central or GN south, same as my course all were.
Hey Class2ldn, do you know which depots will definitely be going ahead for TL north/GN?
As Rhys said you also will not be at Hitchin. Just take it that you have a job but you will have no idea where you will be based.
As for getting to PBO - in all honesty probably will never happen as the list who want it is far too long
CBG better chance maybe

It's what I was told over the phone so I went with it.
I'm at the head office to, which suits as I grew up in Croydon so know it well. So it sounds like I might know by 2 o'clock today! Fingers crossed!

I recently applied for a ticket examiner job with Abellio Scotrail and progressed through the initial assessments and interview stage...
I got a response after a nervous wait but this was worded slightly unusually... basically saying that although I was successful at interview they have more successful candidates at interview stage than positions to fill.
So I was told I would be placed in a reserve pool for 6 months but I was not asked to do any medical?
Is this just a polite no or is there a possibility that something could genuinely come up?

Whilst I can't comment on this company, I will say that when I joined the fire service, they said a similar thing -i got 95% on my interview but 16 others got better, 6month later I got a job, so whilst I wouldn't wait for it, don't totally count it out.

Hey Dave999 & Smerlin, are you guys starting for the Gillingham depot on the 27th?
I've been told Welwyn garden city, so was Dave I believe, however his since been changed to Hitchin, I'm yet to get my contract. We are both starting on the 27th tho, and I guess from Dave's last comment we're training in Kentish town^^ at what point do we get free travel btw

Your free travel begins the day you start as Dave999 has said, you get a letter along with your induction paperwork that will cover you. You will be at Kentish Town for 4 days (lunch is provided), one of those days you spend out on the route doing some team tasks. The Friday you will go to either Hornsey or your TL equivalent training centre to meet your trainers and also collect your uniform if it's arrived. Whilst at KT the guys who do the induction should hopefully sort your actual staff pass out as well. If you've any other questions then give me a shout!

Thanks for the information! I'm starting my induction this Monday 27th February. I'm guessing smerlin and dave999 is 27th March? Sorry for the confusion and the very best of luck to you both next month and for the future
Well Trudy wasn't at work, but i got a call from the recruitment manager confirming everything and giving the go ahead, she said my training depot had been changed to kings cross, which is fine, and that I would be placed when qualified. looking forward to starting now
Now you have the job, it's time to start asking those kind of questions to your course Tutor, Driver Manager, or HR department.
What I would suggest is that you get a long list of questions you want/need to ask. No doubt there will be fellow Trainees with similar questions.
