This doesn’t say it’s a trainee role but neither does it say it’s not:

It does look like a supervisory level position though

It does state that you will be "driving and shunting rolling stock". With that in mind would this role be required to sit the psychometrics ?

I didn’t get through, why I don’t know, I currently work for nwr so have so much experience I can relate to.

I really thought I nailed my application this time.

Is it appropriate to ask why I wasn’t selected to go forward? I felt sick seeing I wasn’t successful, it’s what I’ve always wanted to do and so spent loads of time prior to the job even being posted to make sure I was ready for when they arose

I'm sorry to hear that Ladder23
If it's the paper sift you weren't successful at then they don't normally feed back. But I don't see any harm whatsoever in asking. That's if you have a way of contacting them. I never found a phone number for GTR for love nor money.

Did anyone apply for this role then get through the assessment day? I did but have heard nothing since and was wondering if others are in the same boat waiting or I missed an email somewhere.
