    GWR Trainee Drivers Required 2018/19

    They haven’t given me any of that yet. It’s only a conditional offer at the moment, but after my medical and security check a formal one will be made. I guess that could be the point at which all that is clarified. I’ll try and keep people informed.

    GWR Oxford Talent Pool

    I have managed to speak to HR today and my mind has been put at rest. As you all correctly stated, the courses for this year and the beginning of next have all been filled and the change in dates to 19/20 was just to annotate as such. I think I just had a bit of a panic seeing 2020! I’m in a...

    GWR Oxford Talent Pool

    Hmmm may have to have words with HR as my application which I started in August 2017 was for the 2018/19 Talent Pool, so I won’t be impressed if they’ve put me in a later one.

    Trainee train driver jobs

    As Cyclist said, there’s no frequency to the jobs becoming available. Just keep an eye out and look regularly. It’s also good to bear in mind that the process isn’t a quick one. I initially applied for one back in September last year and am still awaiting my final DMI.
