Cheers! Have applied
About £72kDoes anyone know what the final salary is? The application asks for an expected salary, don’t want to look greedy!
ThanksAbout £72k
Thanks!I think it comes in at around £74700 including London weighting, Sundays inside the working week. I've read that Kings Cross have quite a few night shifts due to taking stock ECS to/from Bounds Green depot.
Does anyone know if they plan on taking qualifieds any time soon? I'd be tempted by the idea of a move over to one of their depots further north but I'm aware that a lot of their recruitment is through their Trainee Driver Apprenticeship programme.
I've applied for this too, have you heard anything?Might explain why they recruited for Training Delivery Managers last month. I've applied for that one, something I've always wanted to do.
Good luck to all who apply, there'll be a lot of competition for this. PM me if you want any guidance or help...
After each test, you are invited to the next test. Was just wondering if there were any more tests after the VR1 test. VR not my strongest.Why don't you think you've passed the verbal reasoning?
cheers and well done!I did them 3 earlier and got an invite to video interview at 19:30!!
What is your spare agreement?At KX we do -
Sundays inside.
Regular nights. (usually can be swapped for those who like nights)
Spare movements are unlike any other depot, can be a bit brutal.
We have 3 full-time links and some part-time, but you will go into the spare link on passing out until a space arises in link 2.
Sign two traction (unless T-bird link), and sign Newcastle, Leeds, Lincoln as standard. Diversionary's optional.
Have you done yours yet? I was wondering the same thing!Has anyone had a recorded video interview for LNER? Just wondering what in entails!
Not yet. Gonna do it after work.Have you done yours yet? I was wondering the same thing!
Basically this, if your booked spare for the week (remembering we do up to 7 days rostered on the trot on some lines in the link) you can and will be constant minimum rest time going from lates to earlies visa versus where allowed.What is your spare agreement?
I’m guessing they can change your shifts drastically? For instance an original booked turn was 13:00 till 21:30. But moving you at short notice and huge time variations. So from 13:00, a change to 0800?
Same here. Just tried the practice questions on the Error Checking test and taking ages to load each question. I won't proceed to the full test until it's back to normalWebsites extremely sluggish taking forever to complete application.
Thanks for the advice..Basically this, if your booked spare for the week (remembering we do up to 7 days rostered on the trot on some lines in the link) you can and will be constant minimum rest time going from lates to earlies visa versus where allowed.
A lot of people just see the money on the east coast. Our T&C’s compared to the majority of other TOC’s are pretty crap and I would seriously suggest doing your research before coming over if you are already qualified.
