I'd still whack my application form in, personally. They wont measure your height until after the assessment. If you pass the first stage it is valid across the Uk for 2 years.

• You will need a full UK driving license or have the ability to get to the train station without relying on public transport.

Yeah, no turning up late because you've used one of those inferior forms of transport.

Thanks OP

[pincher]

Sounds great but I'm generally asleep when on the train, so possibly not the kind of person they would be looking for

If the PM function works, drop me one. I'm not purposely obtuse all the time!

[blippo1984]

Im amazed at the salary and benefits.

Good luck if you apply but now I know why rail travel is so expensive!

[wobman]

Train travel is so expensive not because of staff costs its about the profiteering of the TOCS / Network Rail management bonuses / ROSCOS etc
Plus the coddem govt stategy is to take away all govt subsidy from the industry & this is why we see such huge hikes in fares recently, at a time when they waste huge amounts on foreign aid !! Plus they compare our railways with European railways which have had huge amounts of govt investment over recent time when we have reduced our investment in the railways....

[GSP]

No laser eye surgery allowed!

That's interesting given pilots can have it done, and most people with glasses have worse vision.
