    Trainee driver oppurtunities drying up?

    Sounds like there are quite a few of us in similar positions then with unfortunate timing! I hope your situation with LM still carries over to Abellio Starman. What's your position Spankthemonkey? You were in for the Chiltern jobs too weren't you?

    Trainee driver oppurtunities drying up?

    Hi stjimmy87. Where have you heard that EMT only take results for 2 years? I'm in a similar position to you as EMT are my local company and took my tests around the same time as you so will be valid until the same sort of time with various companies. I will move anywhere in the country for the...

    Trainee Train Driver (talent pool) GWR July 2017

    I think that's a little unfair mate! You don't know anything about RedZed and his journey so far in his attempts to get in other than the fact he's been trying for a while. As he said, he has passed everything with GTR and the only reason he hasn't started yet is because he's a victim of the...

    Trainee Train Driver (talent pool) GWR July 2017

    It was terribly disappointing! I contacted them and said I would get myself a place in Sheffield which would've meant moving away from my wife and daughters 4-5 days a a week but they were having none of it!

    Trainee Train Driver (talent pool) GWR July 2017

    I was successful with Northern in Sheffield but had moved house between submitting my application and being told I was in and I'm now just outside of what they consider commutable! I have only moved 10 minutes up the road but hey ho! I've read so many stories of being put 'on hold' and then...

    Could have been my problem too. I got through to manager interview for EMT depot jobs a couple of years ago and Chiltern Railways just recently, but not past application for shunter. But odd!

    Chiltern Railways Trainee Driver Vacancies

    Being from the north I asked about Birmingham in the interview and was told that there could be a possibility of some vacancies next year.
