Has anyone heard anything yet from XC about the advertised driver roles at Plymouth? I dropped in my application before the closing date and apart from the recruitment portal saying my application has been submitted I haven’t heard anything yet. I appreciate things take time (especially at the...

Good afternoon! Since joining a large SE based TOC over 3 years ago, I’ve noticed that GWR have been advertising for some time for qualified drivers for their various depots in the South West. Is this an active recruitment campaign where they actually want drivers now for these depots or is it...

Thanks ComUtoR, that's interesting to know. I suppose that at the end of the day, I'm delighted to have a start date and I'll be happy to train wherever. Time will tell. All the best. Videoman76

Nice one Goatman, when's your start date? I'm starting at the beginning of December. When you got your contract, did it say where you'll be training? It was mentioned to me that as GTR have so many trainees going through, my training is likely to be with Southeastern and I've been led to believe...

Hello JP, Welcome to the forum. With the greatest respect, if you read through this thread, it will more than likely answer all the questions you have. I did and I now have a starting date with GTR. All the best with your application. Videoman76

Gillingham.

NickR, I've got a start date for the 5th December 2016.

Anyone got a December start date? cwjohnstone; I've left you a PM (I think I pressed the right button). Good luck to you all! Videoman76

NKAY 11, when did you have your medical? I've got my interview coming up soon having passed the assessment a couple of weeks back - was just wondering about timeframes. Does anyone have an idea of when they're looking at getting people started training for the Gillingham depot? Don't mind...

Has anyone had any clarification on what tests will be completed at the assessment if you've already passed the tests with another TOC?

Very pleased to have received an email yesterday from GTR inviting me to an assessment which I've now booked for the start of August (for Gillingham). Like others, I passed an assessment day with SE back last December so I'll be interested in which tests, if any, I'll have to actually do. Would...

Could be a coincidence but I applied in August 2013 and August 2014 (I think) and so I guess you'll have to wait a couple of months to see if recruitment opens this August. Good luck with any applications you make. Btw: still no news for me regarding interview having passed assessment centre...

No, not been interviewed yet. Had assessment (Group Bourdon, competency interview, computer tests, etc.) in December 2015, was told I passed a few days later so waiting for DMI interview now. How was the interview for you? Any tips? Good luck with your application. Videoman76.

Just wondering... anyone heard anything recently? No news for me unfortunately.

Hi All, I first applied back in summer 2014 for a trainee train driver role at either Dartford or Gillingham (I've applied for both depots at one time or another). I attended the assessment centre in December 2015 (for Dartford) and was told a few days later that I had been successful. I'm now...
