They will in course, but seem still to be deciding whats happening locally with existing junior drivers and potential mainline moves.

Congrats. Junior Driver jobs for Newport have been canned recently as the location is no longer suitable. Port Talbot will be the only location in South Wales to offer them, for info on those waiting.

Depends on link but roughly Rotherham, Newport via Gloucester and Worcester (and a few thru the severn tunnel) Eastleigh, Rugby, Toton etc

Toton traning is 9.30-4.30 with half days Friday to travel home. Lodgings at the Novotel East Mids on the M1.

Hi mate. The interview will ask you about times you've used effective communication skills, probably when you've dealt with a critical incident and when you've had to work alone. Llanwern is still quite busy. Depends where you go. DB have guys in the exchange yard and slab mills who work...

Training wage now £23800 I think. Course is 9 weeks classroom followed by approx 6 months of handling and route learning before qualifying. Although on full pay you are then classed as a post qualified driver with more ride alongs and downloads from managers for around 2 years.

Yeah! Especially as the lads I put as references havent been contacted! Is anyone else returning their rail warrant? I doubt im going to use it but doesnt say where to return it to. Hoping to meet a few of you Sunday evening in the bar.

When I had my DM interview they asked my availability for a mid February course if the Jan one was full. Keep your fingers crossed that this is still on!

Mines Toton

Medical passed and contract in hand. All seems a bit real now doesnt it?!

Thanks Martin. Its been a long old process but well happy at getting the job I've wanted for years! Not long until 6th Jan!

Had mine yesterday. Offered the job today pending medical in London Tuesday. Cutting it fine to hand notice in! Did you go for Newport?

Nice one guys I bet its a massive relief to get to the finishline! Im still waiting a DM interview. I got a 'we'll be in touch' email last week but unless it progresses very quickly in the next week I fear time's running out for the Jan start.

Still waiting for contact from them for Newport.

How did you get on at the DM interview after mate? Still waiting for a date for mine. Fed up of checking emails!:lol:

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back for a DM interview? Looking at the original advert the interviews were running up to 8/11 which isnt far away!

In person pal. One of the HR ladies told a few of us during the stage 2 at Doncaster.

Was told by HR at Stage 2 a few weeks ago that they're going to run one maybe two further recruitment drives for drivers in 2014.

Not unhappy at all my friend, just passing comment on how prompt the reply was. Excellent. Applied for Bristol matey.
