Slashing numbers by 33% from a minimum of 100 would still be around 67-68 drivers fella - maths section certainly wouldn't have been one of the highest scores

There are a lot of DB Schenker men jumping across too which will have an affect on Trainee Numbers
So unfortunately I won't be progressing any further than the Managers interview. I asked for some feedback on where my interview was weakest (to improve future interviews) but was told I hadn't failed. The managers felt I had a good interview but due to the large number of applicants, not all would progress to the next stage. Upside is, in future driver applications I pick up the process where I left and as it's not classed as a fail it doesn't count as one of my 2 attempts. Very best of luck to those going onto the next stage.
I got another knock back and I'm internal. 10+ years as a guard with an unblemished record. The interview process is pot luck and depending on who you get.
Good Luck to those who progressed.
Firstly congrats to all those who were successful and eveyone else best of luck for the future.
Would anyone know how often Scotrail recruits Trainee Driver's, or any other rail company?
I am currently in full time work (Army) and wish to become a driver in about 6-7 years.
Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone heard of anyone failing the managers interview?
Obviously people don't want to advertise this as they see it as a failure but from looking on here and from speaking to people I haven't heard of anyone failing it.
Have people received emails saying that unfortunately they won't be moving forward in the process or is it that they have "interviewed to a good standard but due to the number of applicants they wont move forward and their details will be held on file for 12months"????
Just wondering if everyone who hasn't been offered a job is getting the same email or if some people are going into a talent pool.

However, I've read on here of external applicants passing all stages including medicals and being put on waiting list.
Are you talking about previous advertising campaigns or this one in particular? There have been applicants in the past (like you said) that passed everything, heard nothing for months......not even being given the courtesy and told about being on a reserve list or in the talent pool or anything..........then out the blue many months later they get an email or a phone call with a job offer.
Im sure most would agree when I say that things could be done with a bit more transparency for everyone involved.......especially since its a stressful & anxious process for most individuals........
Hi Jydo, It's this particular campaign Im referring to. I have much sympathy for those I've noticed getting a date for medical (when I would assume the jobs in the bag unless you've been up to no good!) then seeing their next post saying 'passed medical and told Im on the waiting list'. I totally agree with you that there could've been a lot more transparency in the process. Where are you at yourself? I thought I'd seen u posting on here previously about a start date for training.
Does anyone have a contact number for HR/recruitment?
What depot is that for rfc boy? How quickly did you find out after dtm interview that u were through?
I'm in for Edinburgh. I found out about 3 weeks after my managers interview that I had progressed. So I found out about that a few days before Christmas.
Congrats on getting through, ur a lucky man!!
Was it a phone call or email you got?
Was 2nd stage assessments both computer and mmi interview on same day?
Cheers. I've got my fingers crossed that I get that phone call.
I'll pestering u for tips if I do...��
Haha no worries. When was your managers interview?
