I would also say look at non-technical skills and what you think are important in the Railway. These are something they go on about so much with Drivers!!

7 months between the two, not at Reading mate so can’t help you with any info!

Haha, it will come round quickly mate. All sorted now!

Is anyone on the course at Reading at the moment?!, need to ask a quick question!

Yep if you’ve got a letter then that’s it!, I might email to request a free coffee on my first day but might fall on deaf ears!!!

Got my Staff Travel Pass today but GWR hadn’t paid the postage so I had to go to the post office to pay £2 to get it.....‍♂️

Yeah the only one I have received has got the little card in, you fill in every time your travel first class. I haven’t received the other one that has been uploaded but should hopefully get it next week!!

Yes mate got it last night...

Cheers, and the rail pass they mention is that different to the GWR one we were sent with our contract?!

Has anyone on the 2nd December course had the training itinerary come through yet?, I’ve had my first day info about going to depot but n thing else!

I have emailed HR, and by all accounts we will be at training leading up to Christmas and then Christmas week we will be at Depot. Obviously this is only through email and wont 100% know until we get the training schedule.

Two and half weeks for me then I’m out of there!

Well done pal, what depot you gone for?

Also be prepared for them to say one of your examples is not what they want or not good enough and can you give them another one, this is to put you under a bit of pressure and to see if you stay calm and come up with something else!! The MMI is a very structured IV and it’s about the answers...

Ahh cheers mate.

How long before the course starts do you normally get the welcoming pack? I think it’s been said on here but not sure!!

Took me 4-5 weeks!

Yeah got mine yesterday as well mate!!

To be honest mate you have still got time, I’m 40 and just got my contract so be patient and I’m sure it will all work out for you in the end!

Hope so mate because I live in Swindon so that will be ideal.
