Not holding my breath now. Still live in hope for a job from them! Anyone else got anything from them?

Personally think you lost your chance. Sorry to say Virgin will all ready be half way through the process of picking out candidates for the next round of interviews. Good luck applying for future reference.

Two completely different depots. Different terms and conditions & company at heart. Cambridge is 4 day week Sundays outside, sign Liverpool Street, Stansted airport, Kings Lynn & Hertford East. Colchester average 4 day week, working 8 weeks on 2 weeks off, annual leave built into the roster. 2...

I went for my interview and assessment at the start of February this year and was told I'm in the talent pool. Had nothing since. Wondering if it's worth while me looking elsewhere or keep fingers crossed for Euston. That year is coming round fast!

Has anyone heard anything from HR? How long do we wait..?

Government do run our railways from signals to timetable behind the scenes. The franchise is the name of the line you work on or for. Government subsidies a lot of money into Network rail for the upkeep.

No agreement in place for the foreseeable future. No pay rise in place for the foreseeable future. Aslef just rejected our 2.75%. Aslef could only agree to sell off the guards to DOO for a £1000 back in January. Won't waste my time on this lot. Ilford is been rip apart by internal politics...

I've witnessed 2 and had one. It's not nice. A driver on our side never returned because he hit a mother and young daughter. Then a year later hit the father. All depends on how you deal with the situation and network of friends and family around you. Then again I know guys who look for them to...

That's good to know. GA don't do that at the moment. Maybe be changing it in future.

I work for GA. We don't get any other internal vacancies for the other TOCs. West Midlands was a few but not driver position. As you say may change in the future, who knows with Abellio! Best of luck to any one with this so.
