None that I’m aware off. I understand that you can do the psychometric testing privately which would help you get an interview for a trainee driver position with the recruiting manager should your application pass the initial sift.

Thanks falcon and puppet, between the last post and link I should be able to work out the key differences. Thanks

Thanks matey. Appreciate the link

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but can anyone shed some light on the key differences between a defined pension and the final salary pension. While final salary is still offered some tocs/focs are now only offering a defined benefit. A brief outline is what I’m...

Does anyone here have an email address for West Midland Trains recruitment. I want to put in a spec app for a different grade. If you do please PM me with it. Many Thanks

Cheers mate. Appreciate the info

Many thanks for that. Do they also sign class 91s?

Hi Guys, I was hoping to get some information on routes and traction sighned by Chiltern drivers at Stourbridge Junction depot. Any info will be very much appreciated. Many Thanks

Hi everyone, does anyone know routes and traction signed from the Stourbridge junction depot and if possible rest day pattern. Many Thanks

Yes mate. I’m aware of that. I’m a qualified driver fishing for info as they are currently advertising. The grass isn’t always greener as they say.

Can anyone shed any light on cross country and what the company is like to work for in the Driver grade.

If Labour came to power and renationalised the railways what would happen to current terms and conditions for rail employees as currently this differs between different TOCs and FOCs. Would pay and T&Cs have to be bought in line so that employees at the same grade are paid the same...

I know when I was at London Overground there was talk of DOO for years before I joined them. Then we had a massive recruitment drive in conductors and a year after the Olympics all conductors were given notice. I believe that London Overground will be 100% DOO by end of August.

Expanding I believe. I know that DBS made some driver redundancies a while back, but have been recruiting since late last year. I know a course started in Jan, there is one in May and another in August. I'm guessing there may be another course date this year if they have not got the required...

Same here, have you had your joining instructions yet mate. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 6th May and I believe there is a course in August

You are more then welcome. Glad its all worked out. I think the next course is in August, I guess you will be on that one. I start May 6th, can't wait now, although all paperwork is done I am still waiting on joining instructions. It still has not sunk in that I got the job and I am really...

That sounds positive. Glad it went well. Wish you all the best

Hi Mate, I took my passport, NI proof and drivers license with me but it was not checked. I was surprised that I was not asked any questions about the company, however I was prepared. The guy who took my interview was "old school" if you get my meaning and I felt that he wanted to get to know...
