There are 13 courses of 12 trainees this year.
If you havent already got the application in then you will just have to keep an eye on the website.
Lots of retirements and the 4 day week starting in December are the main reasons.
hi im in the same boat as you passed all my assessments in 2011 - 2012 and interviews in early december so just waiting on the medical and a start date, this process has taken ages!!Hi All
I applied early last year, passed all the tests and interviews, just waiting for the medical (I know it happens just before you get the offer.) Gave them a chase up and was told they might be able to squeeze me in in October, this was on the 2nd November. hock:
I just hope they don't just phone up on a Monday and say can you pop up to have a medical tomorrow! hock:

Hi
If you don't mind me asking. Which depot did you apply for?
Hi mine was originally for strawberry hill but they have changed me to Guildford as I live in camberley and its nearer, and which one for you?
Guildford is much better work wise, Strawberry Hill is purely suburban work.
Most of the earlies they pass back from Waterloo and most of the lates they pass to Waterloo so its 45 minutes a day for riding around on trains but they have got sh+tloads of Kingston Rounders!
I applied for Wimbledon but wouldn't mind any London depot to be honest. Not sure whether to call recruitment and specify that i am flexible or just stick to Wimbledon. Either way i need to be invited back for this dreaded Structured interview and Manager's interview!!
Does anyone know if the Structured interview is conducted by Opc?
Give me a Kingston Rounder any day of the week over a Hounslow rounder!
Quite agree, the only time I dont mind a Hounslow is when its a 455 (still prefer going round the world though), I hate Desiros on suburban routes because the doors are too slow!
Congrats fella. Its a nice feeling isn't it! Did they say when you'll be invited back for the Structured interview? I applied around March last year, sat the assessments in May and been waiting for a date for the interviews ever since!
Hopefully should here something soon. I applied for Wimbledon.

I've not heard of the company cancelling any drivers courses this year, there are a lot of guards who are in the same boat as the two of you as they are waiting for a medical and be assigned to a course. I have a feeling the spaces will be filled very quickly if not already.
