Sweet , I just know that it’s a long process. As I know someone from 2019 that applied and got invited to the assessment centre a few weeks ago. Just thought I personally would have heard back from the SJT by now as it does say 10-14 days for results. But yeah let the process happen is the best bet bud.

Nope still nothing for me either 16 days now lol

It’s definitely going to be a long process.
I was told at interview for conductor on Thursday that HR will let the unsuccessful candidates know first.

I sat SJT on 30th closing date 31st, so not expecting to hear from that for another week.

Hi folks I would check your spam folders as well. Checked mine today and got the dreaded unsuccessful email yesterday.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get another opportunity.

Did the email come from Scotrail?
Yeah came from head of resourcing. Can reapply in 6 months but again they won't provide feedback so not sure how you can do better if you don't know where you went wrong so will wait and see.

Put the positive on it, at least in 6 months you have already had a practice run. I wish you well on the next attempt.

I will update if I get any news.

I completed mine on 24th and still haven't heard anything.
Hmm, just trying to gauge if they are doing a strange way if people that done the test 25th onwards have had emails

Could possibly mean we have a chance, but suppose you can never really tell with railway recruitment haha

Has anyone heard anything positive yet?

I still have nothing back.
Not yet, but in all honesty after some research I wouldn't expect to here back anytime soon, TOC's are not known for speedy recruitment processes, and based of the other thread of people still going through the process from 2019 etc.

We could be up for a long wait, I would say ride it out, most have notifications for emails and stuff, and you could say no news is possibly good news.
