Hi all, just a quick heads up to all of you that are waiting for any news on your applications, speaking to an “internal” colleague today regarding the latest recruitment drive, It seems that TFW have way to many potential candidates for certain stations and regions north of Shrewsbury, Some are still waiting for assessments from as far back as last October/November time for certain Depots up north, There is no real timescale for when they will be called forward even though they’ve advertised again for certain Depots earlier this year. There was a massive drive in October last year on what everyone expected were the Drivers of the future for the increased services in 2020/21,
It seems they are willing enough to let you all hang about waiting for them without proper explanation to any of the candidates. Its true that Crewe and Shrewsbury are training drivers but Holyhead and Chester are on stop at the moment. There is a Talent pool already in place for both of these Stations and also there is a handful of successful candidates still waiting for driver assessments after having interviews last October in Chester. So please don't get your hopes up just yet!
Its been a Poor show so far by TFW towards its own staff and all that have applied. The communication is non existent even for all of us that work within the company let alone all of you on the outside looking in.
ATW were not the best at communicating with its staff but this lot are even worse by the looks of It.
Hopefully they will get their act together soon and start talking to its people and customers rather than talking empty promises. Good luck to you all with your quests.

Hope so the vibe was good with some “good answer” and “you have clearly researched”
