At least you got a reply .... does anyone else find it odd that they have a talent pool of trainee train driver candidates with no time scale as to when or if they will be placed on a course but have advertised for more trainee drivers albeit apprentice ones ?I had a response to my email just a few days ago:
Thanks for your email
Your details are still being held in the talent pool and we will be in contact when positions are authorised to be released based upon the business need.
Once we have this authorisation we will be able to look at course dates.
We do not currently have timescales for when this will happen and we would like to thank you for your continued patience.
Take care and good luck
I applied for the Cambridge talent pool last night, presuming Cambridge would be where the depot is. Got an email today to say I'm over the 1 hour travel time allowed. Turns out its in Peterborough! Which itself is an hour from Cambridge. Very misleading!

not heard anything at allVery quickly rejected for this one! Ashame as it is local for a change. Anyone having any luck?
I applied for Newport as wellNewport hopefully!
Me too I keep checking my emails, I applied for Bescot..anyone else applied for that
Did anyone else apply for St Blazey?
I did, I just got an invite to an assessment day but they want me to go to Doncaster next week! (Is this the norm with DB not to hold it closer to the depot?) this is over 330miles away and I also have a dilemma that I did the first stage test with GWR last week but haven't had the results yet.
I feard this was going to happen, hardly ever do these positions come up and then 2 together in the space of a couple of weeks. Any advice?
I got rejected within hours so thought it may have been advertised by mistake.

Thanks but I'm going to give it a few days as I have the GWR one in progress waiting on the result. If I pass hopefully I wouldn't have to do it with DB, if I fail I won't be able to do it anyway as it was only last week I took the test.
But other things about it are niggling me so I might pull out, they want me there for 9 am which means going up the night before probably having to stay there on the day as well as too long of a day to travel after a whole day with tests. Accommodation costs, £200 for train tickets or 11 hours of driving and I have one days holiday with my current job. As well as any follow-ups. Then I could still get turned down after going through all that. lol
Then if the GWR application progresses I'm in trouble with no days spare.
Don’t be alarmed. Your NI number is used to log/checkyour psychometric test results.Anyone heard anything more on this? I've just received an email asking for my NI number in order to proceed further with my application. Did I miss that on the initial application?
I applied for this on the 8th of June, I heard back from them inviting me to an assessment day on the 18 of June, which included all the tests in the morning and then a MMI in the afternoon. Thankfully I passed everything and now I’m just waiting for a confirmation letter in the post. I applied for the Peterborough depot, I understand they’re doing a depot at a time, for my assessment day there was just 3 of us and it was very laid back.
Any one applied for Immingham depot?
