When you book the assessment day which I believe was at least a month in advance for me you get to download the pack which is an attachment you get given.
Ok, so I'll probably get plenty of notice. Thanks!
I agree. What they send you is enough

I'm waiting for an interview date.
I'm going to Turkey today for 9 days so if GTR try to call me, Won't be able to get through to me. Hopefully i receive an email.
Surely if you're waiting for an interview you'll be leaving your phone on or have I misread your note?
Wow that is a long wait! Think I was told I was successful in July 2015 & started July 2016. Whereabouts do you live?Still waiting for a course start date and have been since Oct 2021

It will be on aeroplane mode and il use free WiFi. Otherwise its £7 a day to use data.
Isn't Brighton short of drivers? Used to be a wait to get in there but when I was there quite a few moved to TB. Are you available for Southern as well as GTR?
I believe so, yes.
My pass is with SN at Brighton, but I have said I am happy to cross to TL if that assists them, or me, with getting a course.
Do you know who the contact is within HR? Trudy was the contact back when I started although I didn't find her especially helpful - give her a call though....you never know
It’s still Trudy-Ann. We’ve communicated and the simple answer is I’m told ‘you are on the list and we’ll be in touch’. I’ve tried (without being a pain) pressing for any more information, but can’t get any. Lame
I'm Thameslink and awaiting a course, though not for as long as you and Luckyflames! When did you last get an update, I know they are ridiculously busy at the moment?It’s still Trudy-Ann.

Myself and a few others I know have been in the talent pool. For Me 18 months. And others longer.
You’re miles behind the longest I’ve heard of! chap at a coastal depot waited over 7 year, had to redo all the assessments as they’d expired! Due to how seniority worked back then, date of initial assessment, he started up a link so signed loads all at once22 months. This is not something I want to be winning though
Wowzers.

I applied for Cricklewood but still waiting for the interview date so I'm a few boats behind you. Hopefully il catch up but it's been only two years for me.

Hi all, I’ve just received an email to attend the interview, only problem is the 2 dates they have available I won’t be able to attend on that particular day. Can’t believe my luck. Anyone been in this position and do you think I’ll be able to get another date?

Unless it’s your wedding or a funeral of a close relative. Think I’d do all I could to attend.

If you don’t go then you’ll end up missing out. They’ve so many applications they don’t have to do anything to assist you
