Lol if you're that bothered, you can tell them you're gonna delay everything & hope they don't call your bluff!! :oops: But no, never worth entertaining!!

If you're referring to the level 2 pay grade, that is the one you'll be on after you leave the training school. So, the 225+ hours you spend with your DI's, that would depend how smoothly that part of your training goes, I was with a DI for 7-8 months!

Simulation kits are usually handy, although there's no real way of replicating it until you're greeted with it for real. Make sure your hours with your DI isn't during the summer I guess! :lol:

No is the short answer. Although, there is some sort of agreement between TfL and GTR which entitles priv oyster travel. I'd just wait for a Southern if you were travelling up or down that stretch of line.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between a 'guard' and a 'commercial guard' on SWR? I have often wondered this, never got around to asking. Ty

Think there's already a thread on this. How long is a piece of string? I see some people have already received the dreaded email. It can take weeks, maybe months to sift through the thousands of applications that they've undoubtedly received. Good luck.

Anyone in the know about Charing Cross link structure and what is signed by which links? Thanks in advance.

A mix of my interview answers not being relevant to the role, but predominantly not using the STAR method which is essential. Felt like I kept waffling about things that weren’t necessarily linked to the question nor the job. But the method of your answers is vital IMO.

Southern - Victoria; London Bridge; Norwood; Selhurst; Caterham; Epsom; Redhill; Horsham; Brighton; Eastbourne; Barnham.

Get feedback from WM, find out where you went wrong, then move forward, keep moving forward and never look back. I failed twice at the DMI stage and I was gutted, third time lucky for me. I found that how2become interview tech books helped me, perhaps consider that. Good luck.

Multi-Modal interview.

You may benefit with a slight head-start on a course as, if and when you go onto the mainline, especially if the TOC operates with the same tractions as the one you were shunting with.

Southern would cover GX work providing driver signs the main line & 387 stock ... Never known GX drivers to do metro work.

Yep, one here. I passed all the GTR modules bar the MMI. So not sure what I have to sit. Anyone else in a similar position?

Have messaged you mate.
