Some info about fTPE if you please?

Hi Guys,
I have my interview tomorrow and I know that a typical question is "what does the candidate know about the company?"
Now I'm not saying I don't trust wikipedia :roll: but I'd like somebody to just give me a few facts about the company if possible.
Basically I'd like to know;

• Franchise Length
• Size of the fleet
• Number of stations served
• Number of stations managed
• Depot locations?
• Destinations served

Many Thanks
Rob

There are 60 trains in the fleet. 51 class 185 'Desiros' and 9 class 170 'Turbostars'.

Thanks, I knew it was around that amount, although I thought it was 53 Desiros and 6 turbostars! I stand corrected!

Drop this in railways and careers and you might get a better response. I'd imagine Geography and franchise (objectives, values etc) would be more important than knowing classes of trains although obviously this helps

When doing things like this I always find their Wikipedia page and their own website a good place to start

See here and here.

Well I've looked there already, the website doesn't say an awful lot, and I just wanted to confirm what wiki says as fact. Thanks

I've tried Wiki and TPE's site, but wanted to get a bit more info. The website doesn't say much, but its probably the stuff they would be looking for.
