Sorry guys can i just ask how to respond to the invitation to be accepted into the pool , because if you just reply to the email they sent , you get an automated reply saying sorry ,
the Trainee Train Driver advert is now closed!
We will not be accepting any further applications or enquiries about the posts.
As has been said, they will see it, it’s just disconcerting to have that auto reply. I had the same when I asked for feedback and eventually got a reply. No harm in calling them though.

Congrats to you and any other bearing good news!

Hi guys , I've just received an email from freightliner saying that I've passed my dmi and I'm to be placed into a pool , which I'm absolutely over the moon about.

Congrats, I was stage 2 same day as you. That news must make that long trip home seem like a distant memory. Just got the same email as you and I am well chuffed. I was last in btw just in case you were wondering which one I was.

That's fantastic news , well done mate . Yes indeed that drive was a killer , but we'll worth it in the end . Did you get an email from the opc telling you that you had passed the mmi ?

Thanks, and no I haven't heard from the OPC, and despite my current state of euphoria that does make me a little nervous. However, as said on here I would be surprised if Freightliner did not get our results before us.

Absolutely , I'm sure it's all good . Well congratulations again and hopefully we'll get some more good news soon regarding courses. I'm so over the moon it's unbelievable.

So after spending all afternoon reading how everyone has had there accepted or declined email and wondering where mine was......I have found it in my spam box.
Thankfully it was good news and I'm joining the swimmers in the pool.
Exciting times!

Hey guys,

Sent an email today to ask for an update as I have had my medical and had no response as of yet.

They emailed back to say they are trying to sort out courses and dates at the moment but letters/emails and contracts are being sent ASAP.

They did however say that the course due to start Feb won’t start till March now.

Which email address did you use? The trainee one?

Wow a mix of good and bad news today I see. Well congrats to those who passed and welcome to the pool! Lots of swimmers now so let’s keep each other updated as we are doing.

To those who have not been successful this time - sorry to hear that. Not sure if for any of you if this is the 1st time or not but at least you now know what to expect. I missed out the 1st time but now sitting in the pool so it definitely is possible. Good luck in future recruitments and I am sure lots of us on here would be more then happy to help on anything you need.

Cheers

I’m for Crewe. Just hope there is enough courses for us all! Lol
Well the hard part has been done now, from here on it's out of our hands I guess. Fingers crossed there is definitely something for all of us, perhaps even end up on the same training course.

Hmmm hope it doesn’t get pushed back too much further...

It seems like what someone here mentioned earlier, the instructors are tied with the current courses.

A month later than we would have hoped but those awaiting medicals and swimming in pools I would say it’s hopeful for

Hi all, due for my stage 1 tomorrow and I understand that I have to take my driving licence and proof of National insurance. I was just checking that my national insurance card is acceptable or do I need a letter with it printed on e.g letter from inland revenue?
