Dont hold your breath. It's very unlikely that anyone in recruitment has been in until today...

Hi Dan61,
I applied and still haven't heard anything back, every time I go on to the careers website, it says application in process. I can't find any contact information to email anyone in the recruitment department either. Have you heard back by yet? I am under the impression that I have been unsuccessful as it has been so long but still holding on to some hope ha!

Guys
Cross Country recruit on the Deutsche Bahn site along with Grand Central & Northern (the latter will clearly be advertising elsewhere come the 1st March).
What I will say is that if your application on the site is marked as 'End of Process' I'm afraid you have failed the paper sift. XC should e-mail you the dreaded 'unfortunately...' notification when that happens.
If your account says 'Application in Process' then you are fine. I would just suggest hanging fire with contacting HR - the wheels of recruitment move ever so slowly as I have found out for myself, so please be patient!
I believe Cross Country have advertised again for Train Managers in Birmingham & Bristol in the last fortnight so there may well be developments in due course if they are recruiting for these posts.

I applied through deutsche bahn for a SC role for Cross Country on the 19th Jan but still heard nothing! Says application in process as well. Is it worth just leaving it until I hear something or trying to contact?

Haha! I'm eager lol. I am aware the railway recruitment process can be long so I guess I'll have to be patient

There has been a massive recruitment drive at XC recently. It's only a small team dealing with it all.
