    Northern - Apprentice Driver - Blackburn (14/10/22)

    That is my worry for the first year. It evens out after the second year and then gets better moving forward. It's just study and nothing else I suppose year 1.

    Northern - Trainee Drivers - York/Blackpool/Skipton (22/12/22)

    I applied for Blackpool last year. Then didn't get through the application stage, so I thought that must be it. Then they advertise again. Why didn't they just go back to the previous applications and move through them. I'll try again of course I'm just wondering how bad my form must have been...

    Got the same email under shortlisting. I'm just hoping that I get a chance at the tests because I've never got past the application stage so far.

    I've based it off mindthegaps post. I'm sure there will be more people in his situation.

    Looks like things are moving. I think the ones that haven't been rejected and waiting are waiting to see if the ones picked fail at any stage. We then might get a chance. Otherwise we are just waiting on a rejection unfortunately. That is just how I am reading it.

    I've just been looking at the Leeds and York thread. They seem to be moving a lot quicker. I'm wondering why. They are also northern as well.

    Unlucky. Most people will get unsuccessful. At least you got some feedback.

    I've had the email of inconvenience. I've gone for the Blackpool position. Good luck everyone. I've tried a few times and can't seem to get past the application stage. Hopefully I'll have more luck this time.

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

    I got the same email. Unsuccessful. I have 1 more application left but I'm not to hopeful. I think its because of travel. I am happy to relocate but its not looking like an option. I shouldn't have applied because I'm waiting 6 months now for a position that I never had a chance for.

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

    21 thousand applicants. That is unbelievable. I think we could be waiting a while. I wouldn't get in contact with them. After 6 months maybe but even then, you get an idea on here were they are upto.

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

    Yes I was just giving an example. I hope I'm wrong and everyone get a chance to get through. I just Don't see them doing more tests than they need to.

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

    I just think they wait for a few to fail and then introduce another batch of people. The reason we are waiting is because the positions haven't been filled. That is the only logic I can find. I'm still on application stage. Some of the others have had 2 online tests. They will see how far they...
