Depends very much where you are based.

Thanks Dk1, do you know what the shift pattern is for Colchester?

Ahh sorry I don't mate. That's Great Eastern. I do know their holidays are within the roster.

Ok thanks anyway

Ok thanks anyway

Great eastern is 8 weeks on 2 weeks off. 1/2 days off a week. Weeks alternate between earlies and lates. There are no nights in the mainline links but super early starts and super late finishes. On top of booked leave get 5 days of AL to use own choice(subject to staffing).

When I got the email last week it stated that I should let them know if I have already passed the psychometric assessment and I replied to the email, but haven’t heard anything back for a week now.

Is anyone else having the same experience?

Exactly the same. Railway jobs are so oversubscribed that you have to accept I'll take a TOC/FOCs small HR team quite a while to work their way through things.

I haven't, it could be months away. I spoke to someone who has been a driver for 7 years waited a year before things moved again.

The only assessment I’ve done is the sjt online test. I didn’t receive any exact scores. Just an email to say that I passed and had been placed in a pool of candidates awaiting the next stage. I received that email on the 04/02/22 and then the invite for the assessment day I received exactly a month later last week Thursday.

[Seasalt]

Received an email just now from [email protected] that unfortunately other candidates are a better match.
Strange as it doesn't have any company name, just talent team at the end.
Could this email be from Greater Anglia?
Asking as I have applied for other jobs too.
Thanks.

Did you apply for a position with Avanti West Coast by any chance? If so (I can’t 100% confirm), but they are known to send correspondance from this email address.

 

[Sel22]

Hi guys just to let you all I was unsuccessful at the TRP 1 (the comprehension exercise) although I passed the TRP 2 I wasn’t allowed to progress. Hey ho onwards and upwards good luck to those still in the race.
