Not yet, done SJT but not heard anything back afterHas anyone waiting on Edinburgh heard anything? Looks as if they’re doing them based on location as opposed to dates completed going by what’s been said on here recently

26th of march my deadline for sjt.Anyone that’s had positive news , what was the deadline date for the SJT ? Just curious
Current TSA at trams here as well mate, just received an email yesterday from Scotrail that I’ve met required standards and they’d be in touch with next stage. Assuming this is now waiting on an assessment day?There is about 30 of us drivers at Edin Trams still waiting to here back , Everyone of us done the SJT and still wai to here back , There is one driver who applied a while ago and was in a talent pool who has just been invited for assessment centre
Thanks pal.26th of march my deadline for sjt.

No worries, Hopefully here back soon . Noticed people saying they have applied for certain depots but I can't recall a part of the application that let you select a specific depotCurrent TSA at trams here as well mate, just received an email yesterday from Scotrail that I’ve met required standards and they’d be in touch with next stage.

2 assessment days plus interview then medical. Now the hard work really begins! Good luck.Current TSA at trams here as well mate, just received an email yesterday from Scotrail that I’ve met required standards and they’d be in touch with next stage.

You don't say how you applied, but when I applied through the scotrail website each depot was advertised separately.No worries, Hopefully here back soon . Noticed people saying they have applied for certain depots but I can't recall a part of the application that let you select a specific depot
Beware the Ides of March!sent mines 1st of march just been invited to assement with OPC
The generic one didn't specify, just asked your closest train station which obviously may not be a depot. I just put closest station, plenty people prob don't even know the difference.No worries, Hopefully here back soon .

I applied via the Scotrail website but the advert said "trainee train drivers - SCOTLAND"You don't say how you applied, but when I applied through the scotrail website each depot was advertised separately.
Just trying to keep my cool and play the waiting game. Hopefully all be worth it in the end2 assessment days plus interview then medical. Now the hard work really begins! Good luck.
Aye I kind of wondered that, only part on application was asking where your nearest station is so I’d assume they’d take that from there( tbf depot still only at Haymarket)No worries, Hopefully here back soon .

Yip i applied through the scotrail website too and there was only one advertisement and that was just for Scotland at the time i appliedYou don't say how you applied, but when I applied through the scotrail website each depot was advertised separately.
Well done pal. When was your SJT deadline dateI got an email yesterday telling me that id passed the online tests and they would be in touch soon about the next stage of the process.
Can't remember exactly but it was around 27th March I think. Be interesting to see how long I have to wait for the next stage. Going by some of the posts here it could be a while.Well done pal. When was your SJT deadline date
Hey, well done. I noticed you're Highlands, was it Inverness you applied for? I sat my SJT on 30th, closing date 31st marchCan't remember exactly but it was around 27th March I think. Be interesting to see how long I have to wait for the next stage. Going by some of the posts here it could be a while.
Ok cheers mate, same boat for meNot yet mate. Deadline was 27th for me. I was a generic application but edinburgh would be my closest
Exact same as myself, doesn’t look like any Edinburgh based have had any joy so farNot yet mate. Deadline was 27th for me. I was a generic application but edinburgh would be my closest

You may be waiting a lonng time, railway recruitment can be very long, there are still people from 2019 i believe who as still going through the process.Likewise my friend.
I am hoping for a quick response.
What prep are you doing whilst you wait?
I’m Edinburgh based mate and I received my “congrats- required standard. We’ll be in touch with next steps” email.How long this takes, who knows. Bear in mind they’re still narrowing down 1000s of applicants so just need to sit tight I guess.Exact same as myself, doesn’t look like any Edinburgh based have had any joy so far
Well done mate. Can only imagine the ammount of applicants, still not heard any bad news yet so quite happy to wait it out and hopefully a positive outcome! Looks like they’ve been quite proactive this week so fingers crossed it’s not too much longerSo I was speaking to a Scotrail driver yesterday and asked him how the application process works.
1- initial application submitted.
2- they sieve through them and those deemed to have “strong” applications get sent the 1st OPC test email
3- Again, those that pass the first lot of OPC tests, then get sent the 2nd OPC( SJT) test.
4- Those that pass the SJT will then essentially be sent another email eventually with a congrats- you have reached required standard.
5- Wait out for an email with assessment date( this can take up to 12 weeks from this stage)
He did also add that the process may vary and can just depend on what depot/ station was put in our application and what not. So it’s just a matter of sitting tight essentially ♂️
