I wonder if they'll be recruiting for Birmingham at a later date? Do you have to live within 60 minutes of the depot that you are applying for?

No, get your hands in as many as possible to get as much chance as you can!

Am I missing something, I've just applied via the link and it's stating the location is Leicester despite me wanting Leeds? When trying to do a search on the site there are no train driver vacancies for Leeds? Despite the above link?

I'd like to hope that it's just a generic option they had to put in, and they'll use your closest depot!

The DB/Arriva website is known to be a bit bugged with regards to that location field, so hopefully it isn't a major problem/

Are there online tests that need to be done before application is submitted?

Did anyone notice that after completing the General Questions, it skips the Job Questions and goes straight to the Apply page?

Others have said this - it appears to be a known bug with the location field on the DB website.

Took about 3 weeks when I went through it all in 2020. Then pretty quick tests, interview, psychometrics!

Spoke to recruitment yesterday. They don’t actually know where they want the drivers yet. He’s got a meeting with head of train crew next week!

When I applied last year every application stated Manchester but you put in your application/CV what depot you were applying for.
