Still nothing? Any updates from anybody ??

Sorry my mistake, its valid for 5 years not 2 years!

People who have already passed to an enhanced level within 2 years will only likely need to do any extra tests in their requirements not already taken, if any. The psychometrics are an objective standard and a pass/fail part of the process and highlights potential aptitude, they will then look...

Don’t be disheartened by some of the theories on this forum. I have spent many years as a hiring manager into these massively oversubscribed positions. This filtering stage is to determine a candidates likelihood of passing a full assessment and interview as best you can, this can be a hit and...

presumably the closer to the depot, the better, particularly in Winter. I’ve always moved for work anyway as I dont like commuting but in my case its only 20-30 mins away. There is a long way to go before I think about that particular problem !

Looks like this might be a problem for some !

Yes its a requirement of the training academy, I am sure its that.

Not yet, LNER are the premier TOC, they will obviously choose the best people available and they have plenty of time to do that given our current situation. My feeling is that it is worth the wait, and when the time comes, rain or shine, you should be proud to get this far. I wish all applicants...

I was advised that somebody would call me!
