Does anyone have any idea how long you can expect to be in the talent pool once you’ve been added to it?

Are you placed into the talent pool AFTER the Driver Manager interview?

I spoke to HR on 18th June and might have been able to help with your answer. I have been waiting a long time too (6 months) and I got my update from HR at GWR. Spoke to Janet (or Janice) and she was very helpful indeed. She's now setting up my medical screening.

Can I just ask which depot you have applied to?

Well that's encouraging, thanks Barney

Thanks all. I'll email them today and when I get a response I will update this thread to inform others that might want to do something similar in the future. Thanks again

Hi all, I hope this is the best place to ask this question and I'm certain someone here will be able help. I am a driver and would like to relocate. As part of most applications you have to declare that you live within a one-hour commutable distance from the depot to which you want to apply...

In the end I just submitted separate documents by uploading them one by one.

Thanks for such a quick response. This was exactly the answer I was hoping for. Thanks again Tristan :)

Hi all I'm in the process of applying for a Qualified Driver's position. I thought I'd reach out to you knowledgable bunch to see if anyone can help to clarify two points that I need help with before I'm forced to email HR. Question 1) The advert states that I "clearly demonstrate in your...

Thanks Irish_Rail I truly appreciate yours and everyone elses input. It'd be a huge move for me so I'm trying my best to get as much information as possible before any kind of commitment. I, honestly appreciate it. Have a great week :)

I am so sorry but can anyone also give me the same information about routes and traction for the same company based as a driver at Exeter St. Davids? Honestly, I appreciate any advice on this. Thanks in advance Tristan :)

Perfect. Thanks for all your help

Excellent. Thanks a lot, I appreciate that. Do you choose which link or is it normal for them to allocate you a link? Thanks again

Hi Can anyone please let me know the traction and routes that drivers at GWR based at Penzance would sign? I’m considering applying and it would be nice to know :) Thanks for any help (or advice you might have) in advance Tristan

If you keep your nose clean and your sickness/absence record is good and your rules results are consistently excellent then there's a good chance that you can move through the ranks quite quickly. But that all depends on what direction you want to take. There are CTM (Conductor Team Managers...

Route Learning. A customer approaches you at Station A and asks you where the toilets are and you will have to know exactly where they are and how to direct your customer from that point, When you've done that you're on your way. You will go through Alpha Tunnel and then you'll pass Beta Bridge...

Got news today that I passed medical to Driver Standard. Over the moon doesn't even come close. Good luck, Paul Tristan

No Paul, I haven't heard anything yet. I'm gonna phone Occupational Health tomorrow. I think I've passed it otherwise doctor would ave said otherwise when I was there, surely? We'll see. I let you know tomorrow :D Everything is gonna seem new to you at first but as long as you keep on...

Hey Paul, Medical looks to be ok but they haven't actually said anything about whether I meet the standard or not. I'm going to the training anyway and if they try to chuck me off I'll say "no, I'm staying, you made me jump through all those hoops so I'm going nowhere!" and that will be that...
