If that’s with Arriva I find it strange as they only emailed me last week to invite for an assessment centre on the 14th

I got the same email unfortunately. I’m fortunate to already be a shunter driver but onto the next application.

I know that's crap news. On the bright side though you now have stage 1 assessments In the bank. Next TOC/FOC you apply for you'll be going to stage 2 after the paper sift. Don't give up.

Know this is a jobs thread, but trying for ages to find books which give a proper account of railway life. Anyone looking for a Drivers job read any of these? Don't mean to hijack thread - posted this books thread too. Ignore this if it holds up thread.
