LNER - Apprenticeship Train Driver - Newcastle (07/03/23)

[WBFC345]

Does anyone think we might hear today before the weekend?

 

[zoomzoom123]

I wasn’t informed when we would likely hear back. They did mention a course in October though so I’d of thought it will be a swift process for those who are successful.

 

[WBFC345]

Hopefully we hear some news soon!

 

[Girldriver]

Opc invite received today.

 

[mechanic2]

Yes me too

 

[Kyle87]

Is anyone going down for the 27th date?

Is anyone going the night before or are people going the morning of ?

 

[Girldriver]

The night before, there is a travelodge less than a minute away.

 

[mechanic2]

Just wondering whether either of you received a reply when you replied to the email?

Is this anyone’s first time completing psychometrics? Or do people already have them, but are required to complete certain aspects again to reach LNER standard?

First time for me

First time for me

Have you received your train ticket yet?

No not yet

Hello all,

Has anyone heard from LNER for the apprentice driver role at Newcastle that was advertised in March 2023?

 

[HPanon]

Yeah Psychometrics are next week

 

[Potts255]

Yeah Psychometrics are next week

Sorry, I thought I done a new post and found this later. I done my video interviews and was told the same as previous posts that I’d get a response mid year, I’ve not heard anything and normally LNER have been good for informing you on being successful or not. Think they’re still going through everyone that’s applied?

Thanks

Yeah probably as there is an intake in Oct and January.

 

[Potts255]

Thank you! I hope it’s the case because I still haven’t heard anything myself, good luck in your assessments

 

[WBFC345]

How did everyone get on at psychometrics?

 

[ally678]

How often do they tend to recruit new drivers? Any chance of another round of applications this year or probably not until next year now?

 

[mechanic2]

How did everyone get on at psychometrics?

I had already passed mine so didn't need to sit it this time.
How did yours go?

Has anyone else passed all checks waiting for a start?

I’m one of the applicants who submitted video interviews back in late March. I was contacted just yesterday to book a face-to-face interview, which implies they might still be going through them. Good luck all.

 

[ayaz2001]

what sort of questions were on the video interview?

Same. Did they give any detail of when this course would start if we pass?
