    New GWR Trainee Driver Positions

    Still can't quite believe this new process has started and all the old waiting applicants have been told thanks but no thanks. Really never saw that one coming.....

    New GWR Trainee Driver Positions

    Because since I passed everything my circumstances might be very different to when I passed everything. Well how about you ask or check to see what's changed before coming out with some rubbish reason?? All that's changed is that I'm now 2 years older than when I applied. If the jobs are going...

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Received mine 2 days ago. So apparently I can't be held in the talent pool any longer as my circumstances may be very different to when I applied etc. Well apart from being 2 1/2 years older they're not actually. Shocking way to be treated.

    Trust me when I say that you won't be as disappointed as the people who were booted out of the same talent pool only last week.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Perhaps it's because I sent them an email asking if there was any news. Maybe it's prompted them to send something out????? I've not received the one you're on about though.

    What age is a drivers job out of reach?

    I passed manager's interview in June 2014. As far as I can make out nobody has been on a training course and gone to Oxford since then.

    Medical

    Seems clear to me that he means the 2nd number. If it was the first one he'd probably be passing out in the room ??????????????????

    Talent pool

    Been in GWR talent pool since July 2014. Not had any official contact for about 6 months now but always hearing whispers of activity. Not totally given up yet.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    I can understand that but you could also say why advertise when people are still waiting? Would be nice to know how many others are in the same position as me.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Ha ha well this person (not me) doesn't think so, this is their opinion (not mine); "For "Talent Pool" read "Pr!ck Tease". Anyone waiting in their talent pool has got more chance of being selected to fly NASA's next rocket"

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    I read elsewhere that GWR are advertising internally for trainee drivers which doesn't bode well for us still on hold. I also read that there were drivers sitting around doing nothing which again doesn't bode well and makes me wonder why they're advertising. It was described as being "in LTV...

    Great Western Electrification Progress

    Went over the bridge near Denchworth today (just west of the Wantage Road bridge) and one side of the down line has lots of support posts up.
