I work within the industry and I work with the trains in question. The information is passed on in good faith for those of you with a passing interest. Specific details and other such information cannot be disclosed (or certainly shouldn’t)on a public forum for obvious reasons. I’ll revert...

How it currently stands: 180’s. HST’s gone by Feb 2020 at the latest. @SemaphoreSlim is quite correct.

Congrats. It's a great course.

I've been lucky enough to get that date yep. It's taken a bit of time waiting to try and get my foot in the door.

Congrats on passing.

Well, medical done now. Roll on March! Good luck to all those waiting.

Good luck mate. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well, that was "interesting"....

Has anyone on here been given a start date? The advert originally said the recruitment was for a March intake but there are rumblings that may be full. My last letter mentioned a talent pool if successful. I hope not.....

I got a phone call this morning mate. I didn't think it went that smoothly but you never know. Think positive :-)

Well, it's formal interview time tomorrow. Having not had a proper interview in quite some time, it's fair to say I'm looking forward to getting it over and done with! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Passed. Now onto the 2nd assessment day. So near yet so far.....

Same here. Good luck!

How did it go? A grilling or more laid back?

Well, all done. I'm pretty certain I've cocked up the GB test and the other bits seemed that easy - I must've buggered them up too! Fingers crossed anyway. At least if the worst happens- I'll know what to expect next time. Best wishes.

Yes good luck all. At least you don't have to do the assessments again... Stage 1 tomorrow.... Oh well!

Can I confirm that it's the two standard tests we have to do, and no interview at this stage? The letter is ambiguous when combined with the booklet...? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I've got a provisional "formal" (managers) interview the following week.
