Photo card will accompany your PRIV and temp travel pass (technically all passes, but the GWR one has its own photo...you should have uploaded this to the Railstaff Travel site?), and weekend first is for limited free weekend First Class travel on GWR.I’ve received my photcard and weekend first pass today, a week after my contract. What are these passes for? It states in the letter I’ve got my ATOC cards coming shortly.
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!!Photo card will accompany your PRIV and temp travel pass (technically all passes, but the GWR one has its own photo...you should have uploaded this to the Railstaff Travel site?), and weekend first is for limited free weekend First Class travel on GWR.
I had to chase Railstaff Travel up after not receiving my permanent one so bear this in mind as they hadn’t ordered it.
What are you confused about?
It can be confusing with so many passes. Your temporary pass which I believe is the one you say is your duty travel pass (although it’s not just valid for duty travel) is the one for free GWR travel whilst you are waiting for your proper pass to arrive. The spouse pass from RailStaff Travel is for your spouse’s free GWR travel. Your permanent one should follow. As I said, I have to chase mine up as I hadn’t received it nearly a month after starting and my temp one was due to expire.So I have my travel photo card and weekend first travel card. Yesterday I received my duty authority to travel card and firstgroup rail travel card.
Which card covers your free GWR travel? My letter from Rail Delivery Group said please find enclosed passes for your spouse if added online, to which I did, but there were no more passes.
I am planning on giving them a ring Monday but if anyone could clear it up for an external I would be grateful!

You will get a temporary one to use in the meantime. If you don’t, contact them and they will send you one.I literally came on the forum tonight to ask this. Got my weekend one but not recieved my one from the ATOC site that I uploaded.
Hopefully that will come before I start.

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.....♂️
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!!!Ah that’s what it is, I haven’t picked mine up yet, very cheeky indeed! Where’s my claim form.....
I've had an email from Gwr resources saying the starting salary for trainee train drivers (hex) is £26000. Lee898 I've sent you a message.Email from GWR Resourcing: 'The starting salary for a Trainee Driver is £28268 per annum'.
The salary is £28,268 unless HEX is different.I've had an email from Gwr resources saying the starting salary for trainee train drivers (hex) is £26000. Lee898 I've sent you a message.
Well Hex is different thenThe salary is £28,268 unless HEX is different.
Maybe. Or maybe they gave you the wrong info. My contract says a lower salary than I’m actually on.Well Hex is different then
Oh OK. My apologies if that's the case thenMaybe. Or maybe they gave you the wrong info. My contract says a lower salary than I’m actually on.

Thanks for the Message. Sent one back. But to reiterate to all, I had the same training salary, too (£26,000)I've had an email from Gwr resources saying the starting salary for trainee train drivers (hex) is £26000. Lee898 I've sent you a message.
Oh wow. I remember when I was with another TOC, I and a group of colleagues were actually called in to have our contracts redone as they cocked up on something less important. I hope this isn't par for the course with. GWR; though I understand HEX is run under a different basis altogether.Maybe. Or maybe they gave you the wrong info.

I think it’s more to do with the fact that there was a pay award prior to sending out the contracts or at about the same time so they didn’t have time to update them.Oh wow.

Okie dokie. That would make sense. 28k is much better than 26k. When was the pay award, if ye happen to know ?I think it’s more to do with the fact that there was a pay award prior to sending out the contracts or at about the same time so they didn’t have time to update them.
