They certainly take their time!
The last recruitment drive are starting receive offers / enter the talent pool. This will most likely slow down this drive for some depots depending on demand and how many were successful.

It's either crew or Glasgow I believe

Crewe or Glasgow so unless you live near either then you’ll be working away. You don’t get to pick either, so you could live in Manchester but be sent to Glasgow rather than Crewe.

Anyone else had any glitches during the tests?

Just got an email (Euston) :
Firstly, thank you for your recent application and interest with Avanti and the role of trainee train driver. Due to the sheer number of applications that we have received, it is taking us a little while to review and process all applicants. I’m therefore letting you know that it may take us up to 28 days to inform you of the results of your initial application.

Likewise. Polmadie and nothing since the 5 assessments. Above post probably explains it. This could take a while.

Just received the same email but for Edinburgh
Congrats.. good luck
Congrats!! The very same email received here, deadline the 29th. I am unsure if it’s for Edinburgh or Polmadie though!
Don't bother with pdf training materials, total waste of time. You can buy software for VSE with track and signs to practice, but real test is much harder in my opinion.
nope ill guess we'll have to wait for 28 day

I take it you done the test? How did it go?
Nope, not heard a thing yet!
I applied to Manchester and Liverpool. I thought waiting over the weekend was torture, but 28 days?!!!!
Thankfully I'm a lot calmer than I was, kind of just accepted that what will be, will be
Could I just ask a question? Those of you who applied for two depots, did you get two invites for the OPC 5 tests or just one? Tia.

Thank you

Thanks. Good luck to you.
The PDF training materials are no more a waste of time than spending money on the software replicating the exact test. I should know because I passed the tests last October by using the practice material given without spending a penny on VSE software.

I've got this too (Euston).
Why do I feel like this is just a polite way of saying "you're out!"
