Good luck with your interview, I assume the Bristol depot?

Anyone else heard anything at all?

Nope, but I am sure we are such a small portion of the folks who actually applied. I wonder if its possible they are interviewing those who have previously passed the psychometric tests first, based on what Fixedformation has said.

I‘m not sure, I’ve passed the Psychometric tests to enhanced standard and haven’t heard anything (not saying that passing = guaranteed interview). You are right though, we are a fraction of the applicants and it may just be we’re all unsuccessful, but you would assume that at least a couple of the people who have made the effort to research, join this forum etc. would be more likely to be called up. I’m not going to write anything off until I’ve heard about people getting interviews for the Brum depot. At least there’s signs of movement nonetheless.

I have applied for Brum too and also passed assesments to enhanced standard but haven't heard anything yet either......

Well, I am actually happy to read that (sorry).

This is what I mean, only one person has supposedly received a phone call so far. I know not everyone who applied is on here but I imagine the people who are on here will have a bigger chance of being successful. I’m nervous but I guess we will all just have to wait and see.

Still waiting here for PLY

Only person on here has said they’ve had a positive reply. I really wouldn’t be paranoid just yet. It seems like people who have failed the RAAT have already heard back so they must be looking through the applications of people who have scored sufficiently in it and choosing who to interview.Still waiting here for PLY

That is true, speculating won’t really get us anywhere. I’ve always been an extremely patient person but this waiting has me going crazy. I check my emails 50-60 times a day

Haha, I was the same. But for my on sanity I’ve just switched notifications on my phone and am just waiting lol

Hey guys, I applied for XC Edinburgh and awaiting to hear after completing the online test. I also applied for LNER Apprentice Driver and they're shortlisting for MMI/DMI. I have never completed the train psychometrics before, pretty new to the railways!

I know right. I didn’t even know I had this impatient side of me!
There’s LOADS of material on here. Just search for “psychometric tests” and you’ll find a ton of material. Everyone on here is really helpful.
Hopefully

It’s all good guys, don’t worry. I’ve looked at past threads and they take around that long to invite for interviews so nothing to stress about yet.

Applied for Leicester, received an update on Friday; sadly I'm out the running. Good luck all!

Ah, I’m sorry man. I’ll probably receive my rejection email too but I’ve applied for Bournemouth Depot and I’m assuming it’s not exactly going to be at the top of their priority list so I’m yet to have my rejection email.

Sorry to hear this mate. Dont give up though. I think East Midlands were recruiting recently.
kajojek3232

Have you heard anything yet mate?
JimClark
Member
No nothing yet... Keep checking my inbox and spam folder in cas I've missed anything. Other than the one person on here who suggested they had an interview lined up has anyone else had a positive result yet?
kajojek3232
Member
Ah, fair enough. That’s the thing no one else seems to have heard back, it’s all been negative news it seems.

Nothing for me yet! Anyone else Edinburgh?
EchoMike
Member
That’s a bummer, good luck next time! Were you also in for Birmingham?
silexa
Member
No, just Leicester. I didn't see the point in trying for both because if I was going to get denied from one I'd get denied from both

For those waiting, checking your DB careers profile page might give you a bit more of an idea. I've just looked at mine having seen some activity on this thread and my Leicester application has changed to Assessment, although I haven't received an official communication via email/phone call as yet.
Cambridge is still showing "Application in process".
