Has anyone else's application for Bristol disappeared? I emailed GWR and they said there is no application.

They had a technical error and it's back! *phew*

Has anyone who applied for Reading this year heard back after video interview?

Not yet. There's a course starting at the end of the year but I believe it's full. It's really a case of sit and wait.

Finally had something happen with my application for Bristol after not hearing anything since January... it's now with the hiring manager. Fingers crossed the process might move along a little now. I'm guessing next steps will hopefully be a video interview?
Anyone else for Bristol had this?

Is anyone finding it hard to log onto GWR recruitment sometimes? To check status of application.
Site seems to be down often.

I have been invited for a video interview I was wondering if anyone could help with some information on what to expect ? Like what type of questions are asked ? Are they competency type ones ?

Thank you and good luck

Hi all hope you are well.
Has anyone else heard anything from Paddington yet?
I have tried logging onto my first account but they are no longer letting me view my previous emails has anyone else had this issue?

Just checked mine - application showing as 'submitted' so have been assuming it's a waiting game. Didn't have any feedback from video interview beyond acknowledgement that it had been received.

I got a email couple days ago about video interview stating you have passed but only top scores go through and then had a email yesterday stating I have been successful and put through to the next stage.

How long ago did you complete the video interview if you don’t mind me asking?

I have just done mine for Plymouth.

Just wondering how long it may take for me to hear the result? Thank you.

Submitted my video interview for Bristol... fingers crossed. After 24 hours being awake from travelling from home from holiday and then doing it late this evening, I'm not feeling 100% confident, especially as it submitted a question when I wanted to redo it but we shall see! Good luck to those waiting :)

Update for Bristol Parkway. Happily, have passed the video interview and will be called for OPC tests in due course.

Had an email Saturday saying I'd passed it but they'd only take top scores. Then today I've had the green light to the next bit. Good luck with it all.
