Yes I've applied for Immingham.
Eek, just received email inviting to assessment day next month.
Hi all,
I too have been invited for the assessment day on July 15th in Doncaster. Is that the same for you guys?
I applied for this on the 8th of June, I heard back from them inviting me to an assessment day on the 18 of June, which included all the tests in the morning and then a MMI in the afternoon. Thankfully I passed everything and now I’m just waiting for a confirmation letter in the post. I applied for the Peterborough depot, I understand they’re doing a depot at a time, for my assessment day there was just 3 of us and it was very laid back.
Got my date through on Friday, I'm booked in for the 18th. Time to blitz the practice material!Yep same day as me. Only had time to quickly scan through the practise material but nothing I wasn't expecting. 3 weeks to practise...
What’s the put off from here ? Around my parts it’s a good to be place with the steel works close by so a few locals working there etc...Got accepted for Mossend.
However, declined the offer.
All I'd say guys is research the job and company before giving up your current position

The new pension won't affect new starters lol we was given 3 options and all 3 were really good. If you were already part of db when the new pensions came into place then yes it worked out around an extra £100.00 per month. All I'm saying is don't listen to current people on pensions as its irrelevant to youFor me, it was the pension....or rather a lack of.
I spoke to a few guys in the role already, and was told theres a lot of guys trying to get out.
I currently work for a toc already, so perhaps my position is different to guys trying to get into the role.
It’s the same as where I’m at, currently on the newer BT pension which is still a good one but nothing compared to ‘the good old days’. As time goes on, perks become lower so it’ll still be a winner what ever it is !The new pension won't affect new starters lol we was given 3 options and all 3 were really good.

Pension Talk
Hi Atishyou,
Not wanting to take this off topic too much but I am interested to hear more about the pension situation. Have DB closed the final salary pension to new starters or has nothing been decided yet? What is the new pension that is being offered?
As I said, don't want to take this too much off.topic but I am currently in a DB Talent Pool have my raised my interest for these new vacancies too.
Thanks for any information you have.
