Chiltern trainee vacancies - (Marylebone / Aylesbury / Banbury)

[TheGoldfish]

Same.

Do you know if they use the M7SJT? Because I just failed that with Avanti so they might kick me out of this one too.

The recruiter is Arriva ... so I’m guessing they may do if for enhanced level ?

Anybody get a email today?

Yes I did too, asking for a few details before being able to progress to the next stage, I just checked my portal and it still says in process? Did yours go straight to end of process?

 

[sumperan]

Did everybody “reply” to the email requesting details or did you use a different email address?
Also did you get an automated response after?
just checking haven’t overlooked something.
(portal status is showing “application in process” for me still)

Just the careers/recruitment email address available. I too have searched hi and low to find a contact address as I had an issue with my initial application, I thought it had not attached my files, it must’ve done so ‍

I got an email on Thursday too, just after lunch. Deadline was Monday 1200 so I replied sharpish.
The portal still shows "Application in Progress" and I didn't get an acknowledgement email.
It looks like recruitment is being handled by Arrival Rail London so their email address for careers is here:

Arriva Rail London: Contact us

Arriva Rail London providing mainline rail travel for north and east London

www.arrivaraillondon.co.uk

Hope this helps

I was going to add something similar. I contacted Chiltern to check the authenticity of the email and their HR confirmed [email protected] (the email address on the website I cited) was definitely correct for this Chiltern recruitment process. If you visit www.arrivarl.co.uk it resolves to www.arrivaraillondon.co.uk

What do you mean cancel the training salary? They aren’t going to pay you the full driver salary whilst you are training... no tfl pass for non protected staff (ex BR)

Great company, small toc so there is quite a family feel. Great T&Cs.
Starts and finishes depend on depots... but you are looking roughly at 04.20 start, 01.30 finish as a rough guide.
