Is there any external Perth Trainee drivers starting on the 22nd October on here?
I’m internal and will be joining yous on the 29th October.

Yes I am

Will you be using the train from Perth to Glasgow during the first few weeks?

Hi everyone. First time poster.

I applied for the Oban Trainee driver position yesterday. Anyone else apply for this one or the Mallaig or Kyle posts? Good luck if you have!
Application form took about 2.5 hours to complete, so I hope it's worth it!

I applied for both Mallaig and Kyle posts, I made it clear that I would be willing to relocate from the north west of England.
Can’t wait to hear now!

Don't want to put you off but the last 2 drivers who relocated to Mallaig found they couldn't live there and moved away again. It is a huge lifestyle change.

I can imagine it is but as a family we think it’s a move that would work for us but I’m jumping way ahead of myself, fingers crossed though!

I was just about to ask the question but then noticed your post. Im in the same boat mate, applied back in June for the Perth/Dundee Trainee Driver role. All I get is that applications are still being screened - its not like we're in a talent pool, just waiting to find out the result of the first hurdle ..

Hi all, first post in forum .
Applied for Glasgow Area on 1st July and had heard nothing since.
Received email at lunchtime today inviting me to assessment centre next Thursday, so there is still hope for those who have applied for the same positions and are still waiting to hear back.
Excited to get along next week, but kinda nervous too been a fair while since I've undergone any such application process. Weekend getting stuck into the training materials on the cards.
Good luck if you get invited over the next few days, might see you there !!.

Hey,

I’ve been told I’m in a pool for Perth, not overly hopefully but does anyone know what the realistic chances of being used are?
