GTR Trainee Drivers Hornsey/ Cricklewood

[Cheggers]

Hi everyone for those that live within 60 mins of above locations, GTR want Trainee Drivers.

https://gtrailwaycareers.com/

There’s two separate adverts on their website for each location.

Good Luck

So going by the advert I guess they won’t consider people who would relocate?

 

[Cheggers]

Someone at my depot has applied with them a couple Of times and said they would relocate on application form. Both times they didn’t get in and when they phoned GTR Recruitment they were told it was because they weren’t living at location, they weren’t interested that they were willing to relocate.

Knew this would happen, my six months isnt up until feb typical.

 

[387star]

Both are planned inner metro

Cricklewood just Sutton loop and Orpington and Hornsey gn side moorgate and the cross to letchworth Inc Hertford loop

Tl at Hornsey to sign Cambridge to bridges but a separate depot side planned I think

Does anyone know how they take into account the 60mins? Outside rush hour my journey is around 45-50mins? I’m guessing everyone’s guess is as good as mine. I’ll try my luck with this one.

Has to be both via personal travel and via public transport????? Wow, personal travel is 45mins however according online takes 1hr 29 via train!!!!! That’s me out then!!!!!

Out of interest is the 6 month rule just for the same TOC you orginally applied to or does it apply to all TOC's ?

Ive applied for them for atleast 3 differwnt occasions and ive always been told "youve listed many strengths however unfortunately we have better suited applicants with relevant experience" does anyone know what type of things to mention on the application to help me get invited possibly? Btw does anyone know if their test standards are national average or enhanced?

 

[Class2ldn]

Gtr are enhanced

If you fail any psychometric tests its 6 months for any toc, if it was a toc specific test , such as sjt or toc interview, then it is just that toc.

Disappointed in Cricklewood routes, knew it would be metro but was hopping they would at least get Brighton work. Maybe one day they they will get a fast Corby

 

[Class2ldn]

All depots will be route specific, no cross covering of work

 

[ComUtoR]

no cross covering of work

So funny... just...well just.

I kinda had it confirmed today that our side will still be doing 700 work till 2019.

 

[Tron81]

Anyone get through.. . I'm only hearing about rejections for this post...?

Rejection before the closing date?

Rejection before the closing date?

I got rejected by swt well before it closed.

Once the full service is up and running, which would the “best” GTR TL depot be, in terms of variety/work?

I assume Three Bridges will retain Brighton-Bedford and Sutton loops?

Is the Brighton depot closing?

Cheers.

 

[Class2ldn]

Three bridges will be bedford, Horsham, East Grinstead, Brighton and Hornsey.
Brighton is just downsizing.
Too many depots and routes to list

 

[DA1]

Received the thanks but no thanks email for the Hornsey post, probably based on my distance I would imagine.

 

[Magoo]

Someone I know got a thanks but no thanks and lives quite close to the depot.

Hopefully not hearing anything yet is a good sign, then again we could be sat at the bottom of a long thanks but no thanks list.

Good luck all

 

[mateenez]

oh my days! How have I missed this vacancy , I set up the stupid alert thing man ffs

 

[Tron81]

I'm thinking the whole advert was just a formality for someone internal...

Depot proximity won't do it alone though.
