Looks like the folks from London are trying to seize the opportunity. I've forwarded this onto a few people that were interested yesterday.

Hoping something comes up along the south coast soon that I can apply for. These are all a tad far for me. And since SW rejected my application for a depot I can get to within an hour ( they sadly decided I couldn’t 
) I’m keen to not have that happen again. Basingstoke really is an hour from me (and much further than Guildford)

Don't forget when your journey time is calculated it's usually in traffic as a precaution so if you can fly there in an hour but with traffic you're 1:15-1:30 that usually puts you outside it.Hoping something comes up along the south coast soon that I can apply for.

Hampshire.
Yeah I emailed SW to clarify what time they actually do the search and they said 16:30 in the afternoon. I’m still within the travel time at that hour (there is also the option of the train - also less than an hour) but I wasn’t going to argue. I don’t want to be blacklisted before getting out of the start gates

Hi guys, does anybody know typically how long you’re waiting in the SWR talent pools? I know this is more of a how longs a piece of strong question, but if anybody has any knowledge based on past experiences I’d love to hear it!
