    Do any TOC'S take on PQA drivers? I didn't think they did.

    Are Talent Pools worth the paper they're written on?

    From my own experience I was I a talent pool for GTR (GN) for almost 2 years. You do become disheartened as time passes but you're still.in a better position than many.

    GTR - Trainee Train Driver vacancies (07/12/20)

    Yeah you have to do it regardless. Same applies to the mini scatt, you'd have to complete that again also.

    GTR - Trainee Train Driver vacancies (07/12/20)

    No. You apply for the depot at the start of the application process. There is a small possibility that if a depot is over subscribed, and you have been successfully recruited, you may be offered a choice of another depot.

    GTR - Trainee Train Driver vacancies (07/12/20)

    Don't assume anything until you directly hear back from recruitment. As others have said they are manually sifting through 21k applications and so it will take time. At this stage no news is good news.

    No I had to come back around a week later. After my MMI O had my DMI. I'm not sure which way around they will do it this time.

    Yes very unlikely everyone will get through. At my original assessment day we started with around 30 people and at the end of the day only 6 got through.

    It'll be quite a lot of people spread over different days because they don't "let" people pass that bit is up to you.

    Guard Route Learning

    Thats was pretty much the same as me when I did my route learning for SWR. Although I didn't have to learn tunnel lengths. Level crossings; there name, location and type is also important and PTI (platform-train interface) risks at each station too. As said once you get the hang of it it...

    Train Driver or Customer Ambassador? (SWR)

    No worries. You do have to be very patient in this game and it's good that you know that already. Although they obviously use different assesments you'll have an understanding of how the assessment process works and you gain experiences to take to.your interviews.

    Train Driver or Customer Ambassador? (SWR)

    I would go for the customer ambassador role while you have the opportunity. It will give you some good working experience you can use to take forward. Also with respect to you, you still have to pass all the driver assessments. That process, in the best of times, can take several months to...

    SWR Guard Job London

    Guards' manager's usually conduct the interview for Waterloo guards and currently they are working remotely, apart from cover. I would expect them to rearrange when government guidelines change to allow office based workers to return to work.

    NEW 06/03/2020 Thameslink / Great Northern Trainee driver advert for LDN Hornsey & Brighton depots!

    The MMI (multi model interview) is a part of your assessment process to which you can fail. They want you to demonstrate how you have handled certain situations. It is very safety oriented. They actually provide you with the questions at your assessment centre day. The DMI (driver manager...
