Yes that is the conclusion I have come to too, I went though the recruitment process of train driver and fell at the last hurdle last year and their communication was second to none all the way through that 4 month process. That's why I'm so disappointed with their lack of updates this time...

Just an update, it has been 2 months but I haven't had a call or email with the result. There were only 3 people including me who finished the assessment day, it's a shame they can't be bothered to write an email to me which would take less than 10 minutes. Not like there were many people to get...

Thanks everyone, I have emailed 3 times to ask (should have put that in my original post.) On the third time they replied and said they will ring me

Hi everyone, I attended the assessment day for Train Manager based at Kettering in late January. I passed the group tasks, speed interviews and then did a competency based interview. I was one of 3 that got to this point, out of about 20 candidates that day. However since the interview I've...

Hi, I've tried to send you a message but it won't let me. May I ask where you got the practice scaat from? I cannot find any online. Thanks!

I will see you at the assessment day on Thursday

Thank you, I am treating it as a learning curve. I really am determined to succeed and join as a driver eventually, so I'm waiting on the interview feedback and I will build on all the points they mention. I think perseverance is key!

I have been knocked out at DMI stage. To say I'm absolutely gutted is an understatement. Huge well done to my mate 34fh0131 and the others that have made the pool, I hope to join you eventually!

OK I see, thank you! Persevere :)

Hi, what do you mean by the preserving question? Was that a typo? If so which question did you fail on? Thanks :)

Congratulations!!

Mine isn't until September either

Thanks Dave, hopefully I can make it through to the pool too. Ps love the name, my partner would kill for his dream bike (1299 panigale r) we saw a man riding one on the sorrento cobbles last summer and it was quite a sight!

Thanks Dave, it's so frustrating isn't it. Have you made it though to the talent pool? If I can make it through to the pool at least the fine will be worth it!

Ah, because I had already paid I didn't ask the receptionist. If anything I need a refund then lol. 100 pounds for staying 15 mins too long is steep, especially when others got it for free. I wonder if EMR could help me? The hotel just gave me a load of rubbish about people using their car park...

Hi All, how did you pay for your parking last Wednesday for the assessment day at Darby Midland Hotel. Was it complimentary for those attending the event? I paid for 6hrs at the hotel, and have got a £100 fine for staying for 6 hrs 15 mins. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Oh no I'm sad to hear that you didn't make it through, please don't give up. The assessment day was tough and I had no idea how we were scored and what they wanted to see - so I just had to be myself (as to who I am, I might have some eight-legged pets.) I walked away from the hotel thinking...

I am through to next interview on 10th September. Hooray! Good luck to the rest of you :)

Oh no sorry to hear that. Well done for getting this far

I really enjoyed it, and it was great to work in teams with the other applicants. I thought every one had their own skills and points of merit. Goodness knows if I was what they were looking for - perhaps I was a bit too enthusiastic but that is my personality. I get along with everyone and...
