I have applied for the vacancy for qualified drivers at New Cross Gate on 19th April and still haven’t heard a thing. Does anyone have contact details for recruitment? As the E-Mail address on the website doesn’t work and the switchboard number doesn’t work or the voice message box is full.

I can confirm this E-mail address does NOT work. It’s bounces back saying undeliverable to this address. So if anyone has another way of contacting recruitment it would be greatly appreciated

Just out of interest, why?

Honest answer and sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... But NO one in the history of SWR/SWT (as far as I know) has been given a third chance at a drivers final. By all means you can get ASLEF involved they will do all they can to help and advise but unless you had extenuating circumstances or...

From my understanding ASLEF haven’t spoken to it members or discussed in an open forum about what they are hoping to achieve in this pay deal. One district council member saying ‘the new stock is coming there’s no stopping it, drivers will be operating doors’ and also said it down to company to...

Drivers can’t be trained on how to use cameras without agreeing to it in the first place. You are right that RMT are effectively finished. They played their card too early. They just got to hope & pray that the driver don’t sell them down the river (which will happen)

Anyway isn’t illegal to employ permanent placement staff for employees on legal industrial action

But they want DOO. So why employ more guards?? :p

A lot more passengers would be left behind if NO train ran
