    Thameslink - Shunter Driver - Three Bridges (25/08/23)

    So it looks like this will be me. Just passed medical and now waiting for that confirmation and start date. I'm elated. It's been a long long long road to this point, with a number of stops, starts and close calls, but I'm finally there (hopefully.) I have a couple of quick questions, if anyone...

    Southern (GTR) - Trainee Train Driver (Future vacancies) - Various depots (02/06/23)

    Has anyone heard anything who had Selhurst as their preferred depot? I haven't had any movement since the online test portion back in June.

    Southeastern Trainee Driver - All Depots - (20/09/21)

    I passed the DMI, but I was unable to attend the MMI, so I will be in the next one some time next year. Frustrating to have such a long wait, but we'll get there.

    LNER - Apprentice Train Driver - Kings Cross (14/02/23)

    Got my interview rejection email yesterday. Really thought it had gone well but I clearly fluffed some aspect. Good luck to everyone else involved.

    LNER - Apprentice Train Driver - Kings Cross (14/02/23)

    From my last application, it was around three weeks from doing the video interview to receiving the email that I hadn't made the cut

    LNER - Apprentice Driver - Kings Cross & Leeds (06/01/22)

    It's sounding like everyone had the same time, just describing it different ways. 30 seconds to read, three minutes to record take one, three minutes to review take one, three minutes to record take two, two five second countdowns, and additional time to decide if you want to submit take one...

    LNER - Apprentice Driver - Kings Cross & Leeds (06/01/22)

    I feel sorry for the poor staff whose job it is to watch many many many videos of potential interviewees and whittle that list down.

    Avanti West Coast Trainee Train Driver Euston and Wolverhampton

    Just got the dreaded "unfortunately" email from OPC. Second one, so that's my lives gone. Beyond heartbroken. Been chasing this for seven years, and it's just gone in a whimper. Good luck to everyone else out there.

    Failed Tea Occ today

    What I did to practice the keep test is I made a bunch of mp3 files in a music making app, using two different drum sounds. Just short ones, labeled as different numbers. Then I would do random number generators and stitch the first five or so numbers I got with that into a playlist, and do the...

    A career as a signaller

    It's in the pre 69 questions part, it asks the question: Have you had a full, clean and valid UK driving licence for more than 12 months? Just wondering how important that is, if that is an automatic disqualifier before they even look at the questions submitted. 1601499063 It's definitely a...

    A career as a signaller

    I really don't know where I'm going wrong. I've just received application rejection number 9. I got to do the recorded video interview once, but nothing further beyond that. Will the fact I don't have a driving license be being a detriment? It's something I will rectify the very second I got the...

    A career as a signaller

    Is that move on because they will reply whenever they get around to it, or move on because if they haven't contacted me by now I haven't gotten to the next stage?

    A career as a signaller

    Is there any likely timeframe for updates? I completed a video interview (just to camera, not to a person) for a signaller at willesden junction at the start of August and have been sat in "application under consideration" limbo since.

    Network Rail pre-recorded interview

    It's more personal than situational.
