What I find intersting about DC Rail is that they don't seem able to settle. - If i'm not mistaken, they have been advertising for drivers for months; initially marketing the job at 62K and now at 74K with more conditions. When I interviewed a few months ago, it was with a panel of three and...

Thanks all for the responses, most of which was informative and other points I may not necessarily agree with. However Im grateful for your input.

Dear All, I have been sitting in a Talent Pool for this role now since 28th September 2018. Any amount of chasing with HR seems to yield the same response. Now i know the Railway Industry is unlike many other - but having attended Doncaster as a participant for the Second Stage Assessment &...

Thanks mate

Hi folks Anyone got an email or pref. a contact number for DB Cargo recruitment/HR please ? Thanks in advance

I've been following this thread with interest but was a little confused by the advert - Ie, When it says, 'You must not have taken and failed the train driver assessment twice before' - Anyone know whether this is referring to the Psychometric Tests (Stages 1+2) or the actual final driver...

I was just about to ask the question but then noticed your post. Im in the same boat mate, applied back in June for the Perth/Dundee Trainee Driver role. All I get is that applications are still being screened - its not like we're in a talent pool, just waiting to find out the result of the...

My view is that these tests should be tough but must also be designed to give people a fighting chance

Im probably opening myself up to a barrage of comments here, but having done the VSE (part 3), am I the only one who thinks this is unrealistic ? .. I understand its a tool for weeding out applicants but its all I could do to move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other in time...

Im having the same issue bud. The drop down boxes just freeze. Have email recruitment, hopefully get some advice soon

Morning Folks Im trying to get hold of Scotrail HR/Resourcing. I have their email but anyone able to help me out with a phone number? Many Thanks

Hi Sean, Im sorry I haven't picked up your message until now. I've got out of the habit of logging in when im on here so didn't realize you had Pm'd me until now. If you still want to chat, let me know mate All the best, James

Interesting - but curious as to why a TOC would only issue temporary contracts in this case. Presumably they are still responsible for employee training costs (same as a train driver), in which case this would make no financial sense.

I would echo this sentiment. With the competition for a driving job, you really want to be pulling out all the stops at application stage. With all the research, literature, mind maps etc.. I have taken up to 2 days on a single application. However, it is a balancing act as many companies...

Happy New Year buddy

This is what Metrolink are paying their newbies to drive LRV's! I know the cost of living is a lot different between Manchester and London.. but really? 19K ? :eek:

Rookie I am a new starter too and can understand your nerves. However I would try and embrace this rather than letting things bother you as much as they will if you let them. Admittedly easier said than done. Like the other chap on here said, there are thousands that would sell their soul...

Anyone for the Bedford depot received their contract or had references called yet ? Im not sure if one follows the other but I submitted my paperwork a while ago. Perhaps they are doing everyone's at the same time.

Im also waiting for my medical results

Just wondering if any of you boys (& girls) starting this month have received any info about your course yet ?
