4 weeks ago I posted about getting a new job role at my current employers. Well today I received some fantastic news. Providing I pass my medical on Monday, I shall start a new job on March 11th with Southeastern Trains. While training I will be just short of the £18,600, but once qualified, around 3 months later, that increases to £21k. Finally life looks like it may have a date to continue again. Such an amazing feeling inside
Congratulations!
Fantastic news well done
AN HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE

... you're certainly a man on the move! Further congratulations!
Congratulations things are beginning to fall into place quite nicely
That's fantastic.
Many congratulations mate
What's your job? Will you be driving the trains? My brother is a train driver for Southern Trains. I got offered a job this morning for an events administrator and I'm so happy about it although it as it could earn a high wage. My mahal is very happy too.
Onwards and upwards I say
so please for you,
Got no choice but to move as fast as I can. I want to be back with Ruby and we set a target of Christmas. We hope that this is still a possibility
It will be a conductor. I'd love to do some train driving at £40k a yearThat's fantastic.
Many congratulations mate

its all down to you, how much you want something in life, the only person stopping you is yourself
Well done !It will be a conductor. I'd love to do some train driving at £40k a year
Absolutely spot on mate.
How did you get to being a conductor? What will you be doing? Did you need qualifications or skills for it or get it through apprenticeship?
Congrats again mate
Well ...It will be a conductor. I'd love to do some train driving at £40k a year... you're certainly on the right track! Good luck.
Great news
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Applied via email to Southeastern Trains to signify my interest, then I received an application form on 1st November (the day I went to Philippines for a month!) so didn't get to send that off until early December when I was back. I just got lucky and heard back from them fairly soon, (some there at the assessment had waited nearly two years), passed the assessment, had interview the next day, flew through that, and now have a medical tomorrow. All hit me pretty quick and unexpectedly!How did you get to being a conductor? What will you be doing? Did you need qualifications or skills for it or get it through apprenticeship?
Congrats again mate
Conductors main role for the public is asking for your tickets on the trains and making announcements, but that isn't even the tip of the iceberg. There is so much safety stuff I will learn, as well as having to know all the stations lay outs, size, geography etc, knowledge of signals, aswell as tunnel length, location etc. I have a lot to learn.
I left school with 5 c+ GCSE's and 1 D in A-levels, so I wouldn't say that qualifications were that important. The interview itself was more about my personality than anything
congratulations
Thats great news, the railways seem to offer really good prospects. I heard that you can more easily move on to become a train driver eventually from conductor.
Like any company, if you have inside knowledge then it can be used in your favour. You still need to pass the tests and assessments though, but it certainly would be an advantage
Nice one
Did you pass your medical Ada?
Drivers = £50k pa according to the episode 1 of The Railway on BBC iPlayer
Yeah...saw that.
No wonder that driver looked a happy chappy.
I've just watched the second episode with all the pissheads lashed up on the Yorkshire Ale TrailYeah...saw that.
No wonder that driver looked a happy chappy.
That one made me damned angry to be honest.
It's ridiculous that other passengers (with children too) should have to put up with one minute of this moronic behaviour.
Kick thes OFF the train and make them walk !
Whenever I see drunken idiots like that I just want to see a water cannon turned on them.
I liked what the member of staff said - if it was in France or the US the trains would just plough through themThat one made me damned angry to be honest.

We need a proper deterrent for some of these ignorant louts.

Should find out today. Passed everything they tested at the centre, just got to wait for the urine sample results, which should be fine, so all looks good
Once Ruby is back, give me a couple of years and I'm going for it! The chance to earn money like that would be too hard to not do all I can to get!
