I have been successful for the trainee program which starts in September, I am coming across from Virgin and was wondering about the pension if it is final salary or not?

Great to see a few people getting in now, had my medical Friday and it went well. Looking forward to September now and getting started.

At Euston for Virgin our basic I around 28k but has Sundays on top of that. As said though the other end of the line are on around 21k and the jobs between stations vary a fair bit. A strange one is our retail staff are on more money than the dispatchers which is the only safety critical role in...

Passed the telephone interview, had to wait several days to hear back from them as they were checking my previous scores for the tests at the next stage, my email reply says I will sit the The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) The OTDPQ online questionnaire By mentioning them...

When I went through the process before after the telephone interview I was invited to a testing day at the company. The testing day was split in half so people were let go after the first part. Once this day was complete another was scheduled to go to OPC in Watford where we sat the...

I have passed all stages so far for this role and have the telephone interview coming up, an interesting point has been raised on here. I previously sat the tests for FCC and passed all stages except the phsycometric interview at the end of the testing, would I be best served ringing up mate or...

Hi all, Recently I sat the driver assessment tests, I passed all the tests and just had to wait back to hear about the psychometric interview which was the last part. I received an email from the company in question saying my application hadn't been successful. I assume I didn't hit the...

I am trying to apply for the job but every time I go through the process and get to the review section I have no option to submit the form for good, tried on a few browsers and machines so not sure how to resolve the issue. Anyone have an idea?

Yep that's the one I am on :D Thanks for the info.

I recently sat one at London Euston for a platform CSA. Passed which was great after some advice on here but best thing I can say is it isn't as bad as you think. Everyone else is in the same boat so no need to be nervous I'm sure you will fly through

Yes was the platform job, took the advice offered and seemed to work a treat so very grateful to everyone that offered help. Assuming nothing turns up in my pee but I cant see that happening and haven't heard anything to the contrary so start training soon.

Ok thanks, I will take it as it comes like with the new job just enjoy being part of the company and the work and take my time getting my feet under the table :D

When will they be looking internally? I am due to begin working for them in the next few weeks and always imagined eventually I would move towards being a driver after a few years but if the opportunity came up with in the next year then I would be as eligible as anyone right? Unless you would...

Hey, I think I am prepared for the interview this coming Monday, have been learning about the company and the routes the trains take. Scenario wise I haven't a clue what they will ask but I hope that having been in customer service for a long time I will have examples of situations that I...

Saw the ad as relisted today. I live about 15 mins outside the target time to the depot. Shame but nvm. Good luck to everyone who has applied

I had a reply last Friday via email. I would suspect they are interview a large amount of people so don't be downheartened. Until it says unsuccessful there is always a chance. There was also a couple of internal staff on our tests so id say a lot of interest in the position. --- old post...

Thanks, was for a platform CSA. First test was dispatch one which wasn't too bad, the next was taking points from paragraphs, got through 26 of the 32 in the time so hopefully not too bad. Will have to wait and hear back.

Hi, I have been browsing this forum since I was offered the Assessment day at Euston. I was wondering what to expect from the company and what test I will be expected to complete. Found the forum a massive help so thank you already. Sam
